I got hooked on the sauce cutlet during my trip to Fukui! I was looking for it in Kyoto and found this restaurant! It's located underground, but the seating is spaced out and they have ventilation measures in place. During my stay, I noticed several takeout and Uber orders coming in. The price varies depending on how many types of toppings you choose from the menu. Plum (2 types) for 800 yen, Bamboo (3 types) for 1100 yen, Pine (4 types) for 1500 yen. This time, I chose the Pine option where you can choose 4 types. Luckily, I received 2 scallops as a service. I ordered the sauce cutlet, pickled salmon, and double salmon roe. It arrived! Delicious! Especially the double salmon roe was a good choice! The scallops were also delicious! Next time, scallops are a must! The sauce cutlet was generous in portion. However, the oyster fry looked delicious too. Recently, the yellowtail and sea bream are popular choices. It's perfect for a business lunch as the orders are ready quickly. It's also nice that they serve miso soup. It might be a good idea for women to ask for less rice as the portion is quite filling. I'm full, I can't eat anymore. The staff members were all cheerful, which was great!

I was walking from JR Kyoto Station towards Hankyu Karasuma Station looking for a place to have lunch when I was drawn into a restaurant called "Seafood, Sometimes Pork" specializing in seafood bowls. I tried the Pickled Assortment Bowl for 920 yen. It was delicious, but all the pickles were elegantly thick. Feels like Kyoto~.

A restaurant where you can enjoy various types of seafood and sauce katsu together. The menu is extensive and it can be difficult to choose, but I ordered the 11-kind seafood bowl for 1580 yen. The time from ordering to serving was quick. The seafood is of decent quality for the reasonable price, but I wish it had a bit more impact.

I happened to pass by a shop called "Seafood and Sometimes Pork" the other day and decided to check it out. They offer a variety of seafood bowls, as well as the option to create your own bowl with your favorite toppings. I was overwhelmed by the menu options, so I decided to try the "11-variety bowl" for my first visit. The bowl arrived with 11 different types of seafood, including sea bream, squid, boiled whitebait, spicy cod roe, salmon belly, salmon roe, red shrimp, minced tuna with green onions, tuna, and scallops. The bowl looked luxurious and tasted delicious. Unlike some seafood bowls that may look fancy but lack quality, every bite of this bowl was enjoyable. The 250g of rice that came with it was also tasty and easy to eat. I finished the bowl in no time. The miso soup with seaweed that I ordered separately was a bit lukewarm, which was a bit disappointing. I look forward to trying another bowl on my next visit.

In June, we will be focusing on seafood dishes again. The main theme this time will be seafood bowls - a showdown of 10 different bowls, followed by other seafood dishes and a sushi showdown. The ninth stop in the 2022 Seafood Bowl Showdown is "Seafood and Sometimes Pork" in Kyoto. This restaurant allows you to customize your own seafood bowl with your favorite combinations. They also offer a sauce cutlet bowl. I ordered the special bowl of the day for 880 yen, which included simmered conger eel, salmon, and minced tuna with green onions. Normally, for 880 yen, you can choose two types of seafood, but on this day, they offered a three-type combination at the price of a two-type combination.

I discovered it while shopping at the drugstore! I was undecided about what to eat for lunch, so it was perfect timing. I ordered the most expensive bowl on the menu for now. It had lots of different ingredients. It wasn't delicious, but the speedy service is sufficient for a salaryman's lunch. If they could further reduce the price by 200 yen, I think it would be even better value and lead to repeat customers.

I visited around 19:30 on a regular day. There were no other customers. I ordered the Negitoro Chirashi for 880 yen. It was basically a tuna and green onion rice bowl. There was not much pickled radish, and the cucumber stood out more. The "green onion" in the negitoro is not actually green onion, but it had a similar taste, so I wished there were more green onions. The flavor was strong, and I didn't use the soy sauce that came in a cute penguin container. I was happy that it was like a Noriben (rice bowl with seaweed on top). I was hoping for free miso soup at this time on a weekday, but for some reason, it came with miso soup! The negitoro chirashi went well with it. The wasabi was a small amount and had a sharp kick. Was it Western wasabi?

Visited in November 2021. At the time of posting, the restaurant had a rating of 3.19 on Tabelog (based on 20 reviews). I had the Negitoro Don for 500 yen, which was a special price for Black Friday. It was a coincidence that I passed by the restaurant during lunch and saw they had a one-coin deal for Black Friday! I took it as fate and decided to go in. Looking back at my previous review, I realized I had also eaten the Negitoro last time. The menu offers different options with varying amounts of fish, starting from 880 yen. You can customize it to your liking, which is nice. Today, I went for the simple Negitoro Don, which was smooth and delicious. Next time, I'll try a menu with various types of fish for a more Instagram-worthy dish. Thank you for the meal.

Located on Karasuma Street, just a minute's walk from Shijo Station, this restaurant is situated in the basement of a building where the Dax pharmacy is located. The lunch menu offers a variety of rice bowls to choose from, such as seafood or sauce cutlet, with the ingredients varying depending on the day's supply. They also serve dishes like seaweed soup and fish soup, which are not commonly found in Kyoto but are popular in Tokyo sushi restaurants. The restaurant has counter seats, table seats, and a semi-private room at the back. When I visited around 1 pm on a weekday, there was only one other group in the back semi-private room. Safety measures such as disinfection stations, distancing or partitioning, and staff wearing masks were in place. The menu offers different options starting from 880 yen for two types of toppings, with prices increasing as you choose more toppings. You can also add more toppings or side dishes. In addition to the regular menu, there are also special dishes like marinated tuna, hearty rice bowls, mixed rice bowls, and negitoro chirashi. I ordered the "bamboo" option with three toppings - marinated tuna, negitoro, and fried horse mackerel - along with seaweed soup. The toppings were fresh, the fried items were crispy, and the rice was delicious. The restaurant also offers local ingredients from Fukui, such as rice and regional soda. By the time I finished, I was stuffed. The owner seemed quiet, but the young waitress was friendly and provided great service. The location is convenient and budget-friendly, and I would like to visit for dinner as well if I have the chance. They also offer takeout, including soup dishes.

I was always curious about a certain restaurant's "Massaman Curry," but when I saw the long line outside, I decided to try this nearby restaurant instead. I sat at the counter and found out they offer a customizable bowl where you can choose your favorite ingredients. In addition to a variety of seafood options, they also have tonkatsu. I chose the "Ume Bowl (¥880 tax included)" where you can choose two toppings, and I picked "Marinated Salmon (4 slices)" and "Sauce Tonkatsu (2 pieces)." As a 1st-anniversary special, they served complimentary "Tonjiru" (pork miso soup). The "Marinated Salmon & Sauce Tonkatsu Bowl" perfectly matched the restaurant's name "Seafood and Sometimes Pig." The freshly fried tonkatsu with sweet sauce soaked in, along with regular rice instead of vinegar rice, made for a delicious Sauce Tonkatsu Bowl. There were also four slices of fatty marinated salmon on top. With roasted seaweed and pickled ginger on the rice, you can enjoy half as a seafood bowl by adding wasabi to the salmon. It was a great experience to taste two different bowls at once. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant around 1:00 PM on Monday. There was one group of customers and three individuals already there. I ordered the "Ume" bowl for 800 yen, which arrived in about a minute. The soy sauce dispenser was shaped like a penguin and contained slightly sweet soy sauce for seafood bowls. Pressing down on the rice felt soft and satisfying. The seaweed was seasoned and paired well with the dish. I also added the medium fatty tuna for an extra 200 yen, which had a delicate texture. The marinated salmon had a stronger flavor compared to the tuna. The soy sauce for seafood bowls was light, so the tuna tasted a bit diluted. The "Ume" bowl with 8 pieces of sashimi for 800 yen didn't quite fill me up, so maybe I should have gone for the 1100 yen option.

I happened to come across this restaurant while walking around. I had some errands nearby, so I decided to grab a bite to eat. They offer a seafood bowl where you can choose your toppings, and it seems like you can try a variety of combinations. The toppings vary depending on the day's catch, which makes it even more exciting. On this day, I chose ikura and salmon. You can actually add three or more toppings if you like. It's a casual and enjoyable way to customize your meal. The only downside is that it's a bit hard to find since it's located underground. Nevertheless, it was a delicious meal!

While looking for a place to have lunch in Kyoto during a business trip, I stumbled upon a newly opened restaurant. Amid the difficult times for food and beverage establishments due to the impact of the new coronavirus, I wanted to support their new beginning even just a little. They offer a seafood bowl where you can choose your favorite toppings, and what caught my attention was the addition of "katsu" (breaded and deep-fried cutlet). I didn't try it this time, but I don't think I've seen a combination of seafood and katsu elsewhere before. This type of restaurant, where you can easily enjoy your meal, is perfect for lunch. The staff were also very friendly, and I wish them all the best in their efforts.

Visited in March 2020 with a rating of 3.06 on Tabelog (4 reviews). I revisited quickly but forgot to write a review for a while. Surprisingly, the review count hasn't increased much! The signboard was the same as last time, so this time I only took a photo of the Negitoro bowl I ate. The rice and Negitoro were both quite generous in portion, and the Negitoro was smooth. I prefer a bit more coarse Negitoro, but it was still delicious. Today, I kept my order simple, but they also have a menu called "Matsu, Take, Ume" where you can choose 2-4 types of toppings from the daily selection to customize to your liking. Thank you for the meal.

Visited in March 2020 ◎ No Tabelog score at the time of posting (0 reviews) ■ Ikura Don (Salmon Roe Bowl) 880 yen While walking near Shijo Station, I noticed a new seafood restaurant that seemed to be opening, with some menu items displayed outside the shop with photos. It's called "Kaisen Tokidoki Buta"♪ The grand opening is scheduled for March 28th (Tuesday), but it is currently in a pre-opening period and operating! When I approached the shop in the basement 1F after descending the stairs, it felt somewhat familiar... Ah! I think it used to be the standing bar "Suiba" at this location. Upon entering the shop, there is a counter right in front and some table seats at the back. Today, I already knew what I wanted to eat - the "Ikura Don"♪ Lately, I haven't had a satisfying amount of salmon roe, and when I saw the photo, I suddenly felt the urge to eat it (^o^;) I kept my order simple today, but there is also a menu called "Matsu, Take, Ume" where you can choose 2-4 types of toppings from the daily selection to customize according to your preference♪ Today, it seems like miso soup comes free, but they are still considering how long they will continue this offer. Under the salmon roe, there was a sprinkling of shredded seaweed, which was fine by me since I prefer to enjoy the pure taste of salmon roe alone ( ´∀｀ )b The small, thin-skinned type of salmon roe didn't have the distinctive popping sensation, but the taste was simply delicious (≧∇≦)b The pickled ginger was slightly distracting while eating (￣▽￣;) The miso soup with a subtle dashi flavor was also delicious, and I would be happy if they continue to offer it for free in the future (^∇^) I ate about half of it without adding anything, then enjoyed a slight change in flavor by adding a bit of wasabi soy sauce afterwards (๑´ڡ`๑) When paying at the register, I saw a flyer that said the "Negitoro Don" is discounted from 880 yen to 550 yen until the end of March with the flyer! (oﾟДﾟﾉ)ﾉ I definitely have to come back for that~ (๑•̀∀- ) Thank you for the meal.

Seafood and sometimes pork marinated rice bowl special + sauce cutlet Today, I fiercely attacked the Seafood and sometimes Pork restaurant in Oshoji-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. I liked the name of this restaurant, but actually, I was planning to go to a curry restaurant first... However, if I ate curry first and then something bland, it wouldn't make for a good review... so I decided to bring this restaurant that I had in stock for the second and third visits as the first one. It's been about 3 months since I've eaten sashimi outside... so it was a good timing. I arrived at the restaurant around noon... There were about 3 groups of customers already there. The first thing that caught my eye was the rice bowl with various ingredients priced at over 1500 yen! Although I don't have any particular dislikes, I wasn't too interested in having something I didn't like too much on top of it... so I passed on that. Next, I was interested in the customizable one! With a maximum of 32 pieces of sashimi on it, it seemed interesting for the blog, but being a first-time visitor, I was a bit afraid of what kind of quality would come out, so I avoided it... After much contemplation, I chose the marinated rice bowl! The ingredients are all popular ones, and by marinating them, even if the quality is a bit... ahem... I like to take risks, but well, let's play it safe... so I ordered it. The default rice amount is 250g, and for an additional 160 yen, you can double the amount (500g) as a special. It's quite a reasonable additional charge! Also, since the restaurant's name is Seafood and sometimes Pork, I added a sauce cutlet as a joke. There was a cute penguin soy sauce dispenser on the table... Wow, I really want this... He bought one the other day and was prpr at home, but it didn't become a big deal... Anyway... After about 4 minutes of waiting, the food I ordered arrived safely... The sauce cutlet I added for 230 yen is this... The marinated rice bowl special for 1080 yen + sauce cutlet for 230 yen... Is this a price that matches the quality? It might look more delicious if you spread it out a bit more and minimize the amount of white rice visible. Just as a beginner's opinion... Let's change the angle... The surface area is about the same as 2 pieces of fish...? Considering that the tonkatsu at major bento shops or franchise shops specializing in fried foods costs around 350 yen per piece, the price of 230 yen for a size smaller than half seems a bit expensive... Now, let's eat. ...or rather, marinated... I could only think of tuna... Is it just that tuna is famous? Let's write down the taste impressions in order!! Below, I write soy sauce, but of course, I am writing about a mixture of mirin and cooking sake boiled down... Squid marinated: It seems much tastier than just dipping sashimi in soy sauce like when you eat sashimi normally! It has a mild flavor with a unique sweetness... like squid, but the savory aroma and flavor of soy sauce have permeated nicely, giving it a punchier flavor compared to raw squid.

Visited around 3:00 PM and had today's special rice bowl for 900 yen (salmon, negitoro, kamaage shirasu) with an additional topping of 2 pieces of enoki mushrooms for 230 yen.

I visited for the first time. I had the seared salmon, which was even more delicious than I imagined. The perfect amount of fat made it outstanding. I highly recommend being able to eat this quality of food at this price. ☆

I used it for lunchtime. It was a warm regular seafood bowl with normal rice. The toppings were quite delicious. They were having a new rice fair and offering a free extra-large size service. However, the rice wasn't the type that made you want to eat more... disappointing.
