I visited Chitose Mochi Shokudo Shotorihashi branch following the usual tokariko-san series. I have known about this place for a long time, but it was my first visit. I hesitated before because there is no parking lot, but I decided to go for it this time. The menu was extensive and I had a hard time deciding, but I ended up ordering the recommended Juroku and Chinese soba (750 yen) with a change to curry ramen, which cost 950 yen including tax. After placing my order, Juroku was served quickly. After a short wait, the curry ramen was also served. The visual presentation was quite appealing and my expectations rose, but the curry was a bit bland and watery, with little spiciness and no kick. Mixing it with raw egg made it smoother. Personally, I would have preferred a bit more spiciness and richness. The noodles were standard Chinese noodles and a bit soggy. Juroku was average, similar to supermarket deli food. The portion of rice was generous and quite challenging to finish. I pass by this place often, but if I had to choose, I would recommend places like Kinshiro Shokudo or Sea Spirit nearby instead.

If you're having trouble deciding on where to have lunch, this restaurant is a great choice. They offer udon and set meals at reasonable prices. They have daily service sets and udon sets available. This time, I ordered the service set which came with chicken cutlet, salad, one side dish, rice, and a small udon for ¥800. The rice is cooked perfectly and has a delicious flavor, while the udon broth is gentle and comforting. The chicken cutlet is juicy with a crispy outer layer, and since it's homemade, you can eat it with peace of mind.

I had lunch here (#^^#) at a restaurant that was so close but I had never been to before...⭐️ The beef curry udon looked really delicious, but I wish it had a bit more kick to it (≧▽≦) I thought the Assorted Sushi would be light, but it was actually quite filling⤴⤴ The inari sushi and rolls were a bit bland for my taste, I struggled to finish them... If the flavors were a bit stronger, I think I could have managed better. Thank you for the meal! (^人^)

I went for lunch. I entered the store because the sign said "Senari". About 70% of the customers were inside. There were counter seats and table seats, and I chose a table seat. The menu had a variety of options from individual dishes to set meals. I found a great set deal - Katsudon with mini udon for ¥850. I waited while watching TV. The Katsudon arrived with a crispy fried cutlet topped with egg, onions, green onions, and a dashi-flavored sauce with a raw egg yolk on top. It was wonderful. I love this kind of dish. The cutlet was delicious, and the rice was perfectly seasoned with the dashi. The udon had thin, soft noodles with a flavorful broth that had a hint of yuzu. It was a delightful meal.

It was supposed to be lunch at another restaurant in Yoshikouin Maeda-cho. According to Tabelog, they open at 11:00, but even though it was already 11:30 and the lights were on, the curtain was not out. Then I saw the curtain of "Sennari Mochi Shokudo" here. So, I decided to visit right away. The name sounds retro, but the building looked like a regular store with a house. However, the inside of the restaurant was very "Showa era" style. I love this kind of atmosphere. When I looked at the menu, there were so many options that I couldn't decide. After much consideration, my husband ordered the Sasame Udon for 550 yen and a sushi set of 3 for 450 yen. I had the Tempura Donburi for 600 yen. The Sasame Udon came with a quail egg, which is rare these days, and the sushi set had rolls with kampyo shiitake and tofu, inari sushi with sesame soy sauce, and rolls with cucumber, pickled radish, and pickled turnip. My Tempura Donburi had small shrimp but a flavorful egg soaked in broth, topped with a half-cooked egg. The broth was deliciously rich. It was a satisfying lunch for both of us. We were lucky to have walked in and found this place. Thank you for the meal. There were 2 customers before us and 2 after us. It seems like a place for locals or people related to the company as there is no parking lot. There was alcohol disinfection at the entrance. The tables for 4 people were spaced out widely, and the counter seats had acrylic dividers every other seat. The circulation fan was running, and the ventilation seemed good.

It has a nostalgic atmosphere, and all the dishes are generous in portion. The fried dishes with demi-glace sauce were delicious and addictive. The meat was tender and easy to eat.
