For lunch today, I found myself heading to my recent favorite restaurant. The lunch menu is displayed on the sign in front of the shop. The daily special set meal caught my eye, and after some consideration, I decided to order the limited quantity "Shirasu-don (890 yen)". It comes with two types of Shirasu - raw and boiled in a pot. The daily oden had tomatoes in it. On top of the rice, there were chopped seaweed, two kinds of Shirasu, garnishes like green onions and ginger, and a raw egg yolk with salmon roe. I cracked the yolk, poured soy sauce over it, and enjoyed it thoroughly. This Shirasu-don was a luxurious treat from start to finish. The fresh Shirasu was used generously, making it quite a good deal for the price. After the meal, I used a drink ticket to order a hot coffee. It was a satisfying seafood lunch. Thank you for the feast.

Lunchtime on this day started at 1:30pm due to the daily "chorei" meeting. It is understood that we must be back at the office by 2pm, so I selected a nearby restaurant that serves quickly. This time, I ordered the "grilled mackerel set meal (890 yen)" which I, as a Hokkaido native, love, and a hot coffee using a drink ticket. It was a bit of a hassle to avoid the bones, but I was happy to have the "grilled mackerel" after a long time. Accompanying the mackerel were kabosu citrus, pickles, and perhaps the roughest grated daikon I have ever encountered, which may be rougher than "minced". I poured soy sauce over it and enjoyed it with the mackerel. The set meal also included pickles, squid marinated in vinegar miso, and daily oden. It was a satisfying meal with rice and miso soup. I only had about half the usual time on that day, so I quickly finished my meal, took a few sips of the hot coffee, and returned to the office. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant for lunch for the third time since its renewal. This time, I ordered the "Oyster Fry & Horse Mackerel Fry Set Meal (990 yen)" with a drink ticket (free for 5 drinks) and chose hot coffee. The set came with three large oyster fries and a half of a horse mackerel fry, which could be enjoyed with tartar sauce and regular sauce. The oysters were big and satisfying to eat. The tail part of the horse mackerel seemed to be bone-in. Both were crispy and delicious. The oden with daily changing ingredients was like a high-quality potato salad. It also came with rice, pickles, and miso soup. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch menu. I ended the meal with a relaxing coffee. I will definitely visit this recommended restaurant again soon. Thank you for the meal.

I tried the lunch at this restaurant, which has been renovated with the concept of "oden and fish". The lunch menu can be confirmed on the signboard in front of the shop, and it is rare in this day and age that smoking is allowed during lunchtime, which is valuable for smokers. Although I was also interested in the "oyster fry", this time I ordered the "tuna tataki on rice (890 yen)" in red letters and a drink ticket (free for 5 cups) for hot coffee. I don't particularly love tuna, but the description "Luxuriously topped with fatty tuna belly on rice with plenty of green onions. Limited quantity, no more available." made me want to try it at least once. On top of the rice were chopped seaweed, lots of green onions, and plenty of tuna tataki. I decided to pour condiments and soy sauce on top. Honestly, considering the price, I didn't have high expectations, but the moment I put it in my mouth, the melting richness of the fatty tuna belly and the flavor of the green onions were incredibly delicious. And the fat was not at all heavy, so I couldn't stop eating this delicious dish. It came with miso soup, pickles, and oden. Even though there are such attractive menus, the restaurant was empty that day, so I decided to visit frequently while I can. You can also enjoy a leisurely coffee after the meal. The unexpected "great value seafood lunch" was a treat. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this recently renovated restaurant for lunch. I ordered the "Fried Chicken Set Meal (890 yen)" and a drink ticket (free for 5 drinks) for a hot coffee. The fried chicken had more batter than I prefer, but the refreshing "special sauce" made it easy to eat. The side dish for the day was "Kamaage Shirasu and Spicy Cod Roe Cucumber". They are willing to adjust the rice portion to your liking for free. The restaurant was not crowded, and I was able to relax even though it is located along Shijo Street. Thank you for the meal.

I found out that the store was being renovated through a sign at the storefront, so I decided to visit during lunchtime. The name and appearance of the store seemed to be the same, but the concept has changed to "oden and fish." The lunch menu was visible on the sign in front of the store, and surprisingly, in this day and age, the restaurant allows smoking during lunchtime, which is a rare find for smokers. The news of the renovation doesn't seem to have spread yet, as the restaurant was surprisingly empty. I ordered the "Monkfish Tempura Set Meal (990 yen)" and a free hot coffee with a drink ticket obtained by adding the restaurant on LINE as a friend. Similar to before, the drink ticket allows for 5 drinks for 100 yen within a month from the issue date, a generous offer. The drink options were hot coffee, iced coffee, cola, oolong tea, and orange juice. After a short wait, the "Monkfish Tempura Set Meal" was served. The main dish was monkfish tempura with a special sweet and sour Chinese-style sauce. In addition to the freshly fried monkfish tempura, there were also fried sweet potatoes and green peppers, providing a substantial portion. The restaurant's signature dish, "oden," was also available. I believe it was "Conger Eel, Cucumber, and Seaweed in Vinegar." The meal also included rice, pickles, and miso soup. Although there was also chicken tempura on the menu, the focus was on fish for the lunch menu, in line with the restaurant's concept. With the coffee ticket and other intriguing menu items, I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Visited in November 2021 ◎ No Tabelog score at the time of posting (0 reviews) ■ Seafood Ikura Don 1,490 yen (tax included) The restaurant where you can enjoy various omurice dishes during the day and izakaya at night has been renovated without me knowing! While the evening menu seems unchanged from before, during the day, there is no omurice, but a lineup of various set meals, seafood ikura don, curry udon, and the like. We were seated at a table for two and ordered the "Seafood Ikura Don" that we had decided on from the start. Since extra rice was free, we got the large portion♪(* ´ ▽ ` *) The toppings mainly consisted of ikura, with tuna, yellowtail, squid, sweet shrimp, salmon, and whitebait, I believe. They were all reasonably tasty (^∇^) The rice was large and quite filling! The three types of oden were just average (￣▽￣;) The ticket for 5 cups of coffee is only 100 yen, so if you plan to visit often, you have no choice but to buy it (≧∇≦)b Thank you for the meal.
