I had lunch. You can choose from 1200 yen to 1700 yen. The set meal comes with an appetizer, which is a great deal in terms of taste and quantity! My usually critical partner surprisingly gave a high rating without ordering anything (laughs). I immediately added it to the list for our next visit. I highly recommend the lunch set, it's really worth it.

Located in the quiet town of Fukuchiyama, this restaurant is easily accessible from the Super Sato Shinooshinomachi store intersection. Just head south along the river from the store and take the second left, where you'll see the restaurant's sign on the left. The parking lot in front of the restaurant can fit a few cars. The restaurant looks very clean, as if it had just opened. I wanted to check their website, but found a restaurant with the same name in Mineyama, which seems to be a sister store. The seating consists mainly of semi-private rooms, and even though I was dining alone, I was seated in one of these semi-private rooms. I had seen a menu item for Galician chestnut pork steak on their Instagram, so I was hoping to try it at the restaurant. Unfortunately, it wasn't on the menu, so I decided to go with the weekly special, which was chicken cutlet, one of my favorite dishes. The food arrived in about 15 minutes. The main dish, the chicken cutlet in Yanagawa style, was sizzling on a ceramic plate. I started with the generous portion of fresh vegetables. Ever since I started eating vegetables first, my blood sugar levels seem to be more stable, as confirmed by recent blood tests... I know, unnecessary information. As the sizzling calmed down a bit, the dish became easier to eat. The piping hot chicken cutlet was essentially a cutlet with egg and broth. The plentiful broth made it reminiscent of Yanagawa style cooking, I suppose. I took a bite, and the chicken cutlet was deliciously hot. Using the small wooden spoon, typically used for chawanmushi, I scooped up some broth and poured it over the rice before taking a big bite. It was delicious. I then had the potato salad as a side dish. The balance of onions and ham in the smoky potato salad was perfect. The slightly sweet balsamic sauce added another layer of flavor. The meal cost 1200 yen, excluding tax. Judging from the delicious side dishes, I imagine the evening menu items are also tasty. As mentioned earlier, they offer takeout options as well, so you can easily enjoy their food at home. The restaurant's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/kokin_fukuchiyama/) has the menu listed for reference. It would be great if they updated it more frequently. Overall, a satisfying meal. Thank you!

Located in the quiet city center of Fukuchiyama, this shop can be found by heading south along the river from the intersection near Super Sato Shinooshinomachi store and taking the second left. The shop is very clean and seems to have recently opened. It appears to be a sister store to a shop with the same name in Mineyama. The seating consists mainly of semi-private rooms, and even though I was dining alone, I was seated in one of these rooms. I was craving delicious tempura, so I decided to order the tempura rice bowl. However, I was tempted by the tempura bowl on the menu, so I went with that instead. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes, beautifully presented in a slightly larger bowl. The tempura was crispy and not soggy, and the separate tempura sauce allowed me to customize the flavor to my liking. The bowl included shrimp, fish slices, okra, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, and sweet potato. Each piece was delicious, but I particularly enjoyed the okra and eggplant. The rice portion was a bit small, so it might not be filling enough for some men. I was pleasantly surprised by the chawanmushi (savory egg custard) included with the meal, which complemented the tempura well. A salad was also served, adding to the well-balanced meal. As someone with dietary restrictions, the portion size was sufficient for me. At 1,200 yen (including tax), I felt the meal offered decent value. I wonder what the 1,100 yen seafood bowl is like? I'm curious to try it next time. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Located in the quiet town of Fukuchiyama, this shop is easily found by heading south from the Super Sato Shinoi Shimmachi store intersection along the river and turning left at the second street. The sign for this shop can be seen on the left-hand side. The parking lot in front of the shop can fit a few cars. The shop looks very clean, possibly newly opened. Inside, there seems to be a raised seating area or private rooms, but I didn't explore as I was getting takeout. I discovered this shop through Fukuchiyama's takeout information and chose the "Braised Pork Bento" for 1100 yen. The main dish consisted of about five bite-sized pieces of braised pork with a sweet and savory flavor. It also came with a soft-boiled egg to mix in for a creamy taste. The side dishes included grilled mackerel, boiled vegetables, rolled omelette, and simmered pumpkin. Additionally, there was marinated white fish, adding a touch of elegance to the meal. All the dishes had a gentle, traditional Japanese flavor that was easy to enjoy. For 1100 yen (excluding tax), I ended up paying 1210 yen. I didn't think much of it at the time, but later realized that takeout should have an 8% tax rate, not 10%. It might be worth looking into this for future transactions. Overall, it was a delicious meal.
