They also offer catering services and have a wide variety of dishes. The appearance is elegant, making it perfect for events like memorial services! It's great that they serve local fish. The soba had a flavor similar to the dish-soba style of Izushi. Ordering is done through a tablet, and self-checkout is available, which helps keep costs down and maintain high quality. It's a restaurant with excellent value for money.

The deep-fried shrimp is very delicious! This size comes with three pieces, and you can really taste the flavor, so I recommend it! Next time, I plan to try the fresh seasonal rock oysters. However, the udon noodles don't have the firmness of Sanuki udon.

Senior's assistance North Kinki tour 3 days final day. A senior colleague took me to this restaurant. I have been working in North Kinki for almost 20 years, but this was my first time visiting this place. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with private booths. They offered a wide range of menu items from seafood to noodles, reflecting the coastal town vibes. Despite its old-fashioned charm, ordering was done through a touch panel and self-checkout using QR codes. I had the Chef's Sashimi Plate for lunch, which was a bit pricey but the freshness and texture of the sashimi were excellent. Today's rainy weather made the simple warmth of the soba noodles and chawanmushi very comforting. This local Japanese restaurant seems suitable for various occasions, from casual lunches to small gatherings. Thank you to my colleague for treating me to such a luxurious lunch! m(_ _)m

I visited around 8:30 PM on Friday. There were only three customers at the counter. I was torn between seafood dishes but ended up ordering Navy Curry. The curry was lukewarm, and so was the rice. The curry was on the mild side, making it easy to eat. The portion size was small, but the taste was delicious. It had a nice level of spiciness, and it contained beef tendon, potatoes, and one piece of carrot. In terms of service, when new customers arrived, the waitress greeted them, but the kitchen staff nearby remained silent. Even when the customers left, the waitress said nothing. Maybe it's because they have a self-checkout machine. The chopsticks and toothpicks were in a sealed bag, which is reassuring for hygiene in these times. ^^

While staying on the Japan Sea side, I found a sign for hand-made udon noodles on my way to the highway. Looking through the window from the parking lot, I saw a sign for seafood rice bowl. Inside the restaurant, it was almost full. It's a popular local lunch spot. Amidst many orders for udon and daily specials, I ordered the seafood rice bowl, cold udon noodles, and 3 oysters. The seafood rice bowl had plenty of ingredients and was delicious. The oyster fry was safe and tasty! The udon noodles had a firm texture and were smooth and delicious. Overall, I was satisfied with the oyster fry as well.

It seems to be a famous restaurant known for its bento boxes. It always seems busy and I was curious about it. The menu is extensive so I wasn't sure what its specialty was (lol). I had seafood and my mother had udon, which seemed to be hand-made. It was delicious, but didn't quite compare to specialized shops. For those coming from out of town, I think it's a restaurant where you can easily enjoy a variety of dishes.

This is the fourth stop on the Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry Stamp Rally. I often pass by this store when I come to this area, but the parking lot is always full at lunchtime, so I arrived around 11:30 and was able to park easily. Unlike last time (which was 2 years ago), this time there was a tablet on the table, and I ordered by tapping on the screen. I ordered the Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry this time, and it was served quickly. The flag on top of the rice made me feel excited even as an adult! The curry had chunks of soft beef, carrots, and potatoes, all cooked perfectly. The curry had a nice balance of sweetness and spices, which I really enjoyed. The pickled vegetables were also delicious and refreshing. Next time, I would like to try the sashimi or udon (the aroma of the broth in the store is enticing). Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was seafood~(^∇^) I found a nice looking set meal restaurant♪ I ordered the local fish, sea urchin, and salmon roe seafood bowl☆ for 1970 yen. Both the miso soup and the seafood bowl were delicious(^∇^) I also ordered some grilled mackerel sushi to take home on my way out, which was another great point♪

I finally got to try it after always being full and not being able to make it during the shortened hours. I was delighted to have the option of choosing between regular rice and vinegar rice for the local fish seafood bowl. The pork belly ramen had thick curly noodles and a flavorful Japanese broth, making it chewy and delicious. The menu is extensive, so I wonder what I should try next. I will visit again.

Today's lunch was at the izakaya "Bongo" in Maizuru City. It was my first visit in about 2 and a half years. I checked the daily special at the entrance and sat at a table. The order was done through a touch panel at the table. I chose the daily set meal with udon noodles. The tuna bowl and udon set that was served looked simple and delicious. First, I tried the udon noodles. They had a good texture and were easy to eat with a nice broth that had a hint of sweetness. Then, the tuna bowl. The tuna was thick and full of flavor. The rice portion was just right and I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal.

I jumped into a slightly larger store along the street in January 2021 and found that they were energetically open during the first three days of the New Year. Since this is still Kyoto, I decided to have Kyoto-style udon (if that's the right term). The menu was extensive, and other dishes looked good too, but no, I'll stick with the udon. I ended up getting a set with grilled mackerel sushi, and the pickles and tsukemono were complimentary, which was a nice surprise. It was a different experience from Osaka udon, but the udon was gentle and delicious.

I visited for lunch to try the Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry. The restaurant has a parking lot and is conveniently located along a main road with a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry set with fried chicken. The curry was incredibly thick and rich, with chunks of beef simmered to perfection. The ingredients were large, and although it initially seemed sweet, the spices kicked in later on. The set also came with delicious meat and potato croquettes and udon noodles, making it a satisfying meal. The Maritime Self-Defense Force Curry menu usually includes long green chili peppers, but the curry I ordered did not have them. The fried chicken was nothing special, just delicious. The Maizuru kamaboko was juicy and full of flavor, perfect as a snack with drinks. The service from staff other than the part-time workers was excellent.

I went on a Sunday evening. The shop has a garage, so it's always crowded with locals and tourists. Luckily, we found a table quickly and were able to order without any trouble. There were many menu options, including alcohol, but since we were driving, we had to pass. We decided on the tempura rice bowl and udon set, which was very filling. It cost ¥1080. There were also other options like cold soba set. The dishes looked impressive. Some customers seemed to be enjoying the place like an izakaya, so it catered to a wide range of customers.

I felt like eating delicious fish, so I drove to Maizuru and had lunch at the usual Hanugu restaurant. Although it's an udon shop, the fish here is delicious and it's my favorite. The sashimi assortment included gurehoubo, suzuki, ishidai, and sazae, all fresh and tasty. The texture was firm and the flavor was excellent. The fried sardines and local seafood bowl were also amazing, with plenty of sardines, shirasu, ikura, and lots of sashimi. Although the rice was a bit less, the abundance of fish left me fully satisfied. Now I'm heading to the fish market to look for good fish. It was a great meal! Thank you for the feast.

Tenth business trip to Maizuru! On the way from the hotel to the site, I came across this place. For some reason, I misread it as "Handmade Udon Izakaya Bongo" and was impressed that there are interesting shops in Maizuru haha. Doesn't "Izakaya" sound similar to "Izakaya"? My colleague jokingly invited me to "let's go to the Udon Izakaya?" so let's go check it out!! I took a picture of the huge flashy sign and finally realized, "Huh? Izkaya?" At last, I noticed it was a ramen eatery haha. Around 6 pm, I entered the place saying "Hello~!" There were already customers inside. The interior of the restaurant had a family restaurant feel. The waitress led us to a table, and we looked at the menu. I ordered a draft beer first. (Normally, they would tell you, but there was a set with 2 pieces of fried chicken for 580 yen.) The draft beer arrived quickly, so I said, "Cheers to Maizuru's night!" Even though I had been drinking at the hotel, it was still delicious! When I had drunk half of it, I noticed the fried chicken set haha. My colleague ordered the Navy Curry set! Wow! I thought I wouldn't eat curry rice here haha. I still wanted to drink, so I ordered the Maizuru Oden 10-item set! Oh, and also the draft beer fried chicken set! The draft beer and fried chicken arrived first, and the fried chicken was piping hot! Next, the Maizuru Oden arrived! Oh, the plate is huge!! Cabbage rolls, konjac, daikon radish, beef tendon, tempura, fish cake, tofu, egg, string konjac, and one more item I forgot (>_<) First, I tried the broth. It is said that the rule of Maizuru Oden is to dip it in "dried small fish." The broth here was consistently delicious. The cabbage rolls were delicious with the flavor soaked in. The tempura and fish cake still seemed not to be simmered enough haha. My colleague ate the curry rice and udon and said, "I'm full already!" He didn't want any more (^^;) So, I ended up eating almost the entire 10-item Oden set by myself (/・ω・)/ I was quite full and left without eating the udon at the "udon restaurant"... What a shame (>_<) And once again, I return to the hotel without eating a finishing ramen for the day...

Today's lunch was at a casual dining restaurant called Bongu in Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture. From the name, it seems like a place that serves both izakaya and set meals. There were various menu options, but I decided to order the daily special along with my customer. The restaurant was quite crowded, so I gave up on getting a table and sat at the counter, snacking on pickled seaweed and green beans while waiting. When the daily special lunch was served, the udon noodles had a nice texture and the broth was delicious. The main dish, chicken teriyaki bowl, had a perfectly runny egg on top. The sweetness of the teriyaki sauce paired well with the rice, and I finished it all in no time. Thank you for the meal.

We went fishing as a family in the Sea of Japan after a long time, and stopped by this restaurant on our way back. The variety of food options was great, but the attitude of several staff members was very unpleasant. Firstly, they foolishly judged the order of customers waiting to be seated. Also, even though we ordered for four people, only three meals were brought out. The last meal arrived after the other three had finished eating. The staff's attitude was mechanical, and although they apologized, it didn't seem sincere at all. It was the first time I had such a terrible experience with a meal. Our impression was so bad that we all agreed not to go back there next time. The food was around a 3.5, but the service was disappointing.
