I checked out a restaurant known for their lard fried rice. I was sure that fried rice with lard would be absolutely delicious. I visited the restaurant on a holiday. Sunday around 12:15, there were 5 people waiting outside the restaurant. I lined up and a kind customer suggested, "If you're alone, you can get in right away, so try asking the staff." I was able to enter quickly, and I sat at the counter. - Lard Fried Rice 1,050 yen The restaurant was small and it was a tight squeeze for the staff to pass through. Everyone was ordering various dishes. There were also many delivery orders, so it seemed very busy. While waiting, I looked at the menu. It seems to be selected as one of the top five fried rice dishes in Tokyo. When I searched online, I found the following rankings: - [Ogikubo] Chinese Restaurant Tokudai "Spinach Fried Rice" - [Fudomae] Chinese Restaurant Ajiichi "Lard Fried Pork Fried Rice" - [Ueno] Chin-Chin-Ken "Chahan" - [Nippori] Issuntei "Chahan" - [Itabashi] Marufuku "Chahan" (There are various rankings, so this is just for reference) Here is the introduction to the fried rice: "We cook special rice for fried rice, and we continue to shake the pot every day to try to get closer to the taste of the old memories of 'the best taste' that was once the best in Japan, with a focus on the amount of oil, eggs, and the way it is stir-fried." Here is the introduction to the lard fried rice: "Cooked with a soup made from Oyama Jidori chicken, the lard is simmered to remove any smell and excess fat, then placed on top of the fluffy fried rice to add richness and umami, creating the only fried rice in Japan that is enhanced with lard." The lard fried rice is a certified trademarked product. This makes me even more excited. After 5 minutes, the soup arrived first. It was a rich-looking soup that I had never seen in a local Chinese restaurant. The umami flavor was strong, and the aftertaste was refreshing. This alone was worth it. 2 minutes later, the fried rice arrived. Even the regular portion was quite generous. Plenty of lard on top! The fried pork was cut into large pieces and there was plenty of it on top of the fried rice! There were also plenty of eggs and diced kamaboko. When I took a bite, the umami flavor was amazing. I haven't been this impressed by fried rice in a long time! The lard was incredibly delicious! The pork was tender and juicy, yet it wasn't heavy at all, with a mysterious flavor. The fried rice itself was delicious too. It was fluffy, but each ingredient's moisture was well-preserved, making it moist as well. It was delicious even without the lard. I finished it in no time. I was so impressed by the fried rice. My stomach was completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

On Sunday, I wanted to eat Ramen Jiro, so I went to Meguro Jiro, but there was a daunting line of 50 people. Feeling discouraged by the young people who were excited to eat Jiro ramen for the first time, I walked another 10 minutes and moved to Ajisen, which is famous for its Jiro-style backfat fried rice. There was a 5-person wait, but I was able to be seated in 4-5 minutes. I ordered the fried rice and gyoza for 1,150 yen. The fried rice was ordinary as I didn't order the backfat, but the pan-fried gyoza was delicious! The female staff was also very friendly, and I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

Chuka Ajiichi at Fudomae Station / Chinese restaurant Visited a highly recommended restaurant by my friends for lunch. The place was fully booked from early in the day. Featured on the show "Matsuko & Ariyoshi's Karisome Tengoku", their specialty dishes include back-fat fried rice, tantanmen, and gyoza. The back-fat fried rice is indeed delicious, and the prices are surprisingly low! I will definitely go back again. Rated 3.51 on Tabelog. Recommended! #ChukaAjiichi #FudomaeLunch #BackFatFriedRice #HitoshiOzawa

I had a meaty back fat fried rice. It is a fried rice with meat in the style of Jiro. It is not moist, but rather greasy, a new genre of fried rice. The soup that comes with it is a thick soup with a strong ginger flavor. It is truly a new genre. If the amount of rice was a little more, it would attract even more attention.

I have visited this restaurant a few times as a fried rice lover, and I was searching for the best combination for lunch. Finally, I found it! While the fried rice is famous, the tanmen here is incredibly delicious! The soup is amazing and the curly noodles are also very tasty, so I have come to the conclusion that the tanmen is a must-try! You can get extra vegetables for free.

I went to a popular Chinese restaurant in town again, Tokyo Godaido Chinese Cuisine! However, the pork fat didn't sit well with my stomach today and I had to slow down halfway through. I wonder if it's due to my age or if I was just tired that day. I want to believe it was just a temporary bad condition.

Before the store even opened, there were already three groups of customers waiting in line. We had heard that this was the top spot for tantanmen, gyoza, and fried rice, so we were excited to enter the restaurant. We ordered tantanmen with extra vegetables, gyoza, and back fat fried rice. The restaurant quickly filled up, and by the time the first tantanmen arrived, there was a line of customers waiting outside. We couldn't relax and ate quickly, devouring the tantanmen, gyoza, and back fat fried rice in one go! You may have already noticed... I was too busy eating quickly and the food was too delicious, so I forgot to take photos, and now I don't have pictures of the three dishes. I'll have to go back soon for a second chance. The taste was amazing, the best tantanmen I've had in recent years! It was so delicious - thank you for the meal.

I felt like eating Chinese food, so I visited Chukamen Ichiban today. It was a popular restaurant and there was already a line outside. After waiting for about 20 minutes, I was able to get inside. I was seated at a table in the back, where other customers were already eating. I ordered a set meal with fried rice, half a bowl of ramen, and dumplings. All the dishes had a strong flavor. The fried rice had plenty of ingredients and was delicious.

It had been a while since my last visit, and I was expecting miso ramen, but it turned out to be pork fat soy sauce ramen. It's recommended for those who like rich and oily flavors. The fried rice was delicious, with a nice fluffy texture and slightly firm rice. Some people just order the fried rice alone, and I can understand that feeling. Maybe because it's summer, there were fewer customers?

Tokyo 5th Generation Fried Rice is a place where fried rice lovers gather. It has a typical neighborhood Chinese restaurant vibe. For my first visit, I tried their popular menu item, the pork fat fried rice. It's no wonder this place is so popular. While it wasn't perfect, it was delicious. The soup was a bit confusing to me, but the restaurant was bustling with customers coming and going.

Fried rice was delicious as I had heard, and I was really drawn to the cold noodles, but I decided to start with the recommended dishes. - Pork Fat Fried Rice: 1050 yen - Pan-fried Dumplings: 550 yen The fried rice itself was on the savory side. When eaten with the pork fat, it somehow became even more delicious! And it was so fluffy! I can't make this kind of fluffy rice at home. The soup that came with it was too oily for me to drink though. I really liked the finely chopped ingredients in the dumplings! I'm still curious about the cold noodles, so I want to visit again next time for that!

I had the set meal of back fat fried rice and dumplings. I was expecting the back fat fried rice to be rich in flavor and greasy, but it turned out to be closer to a normal fried rice taste. The fried rice had a good balance of back fat and fatty char siu on top, not too overwhelming. The taste of the fried rice itself was not outstanding, but it was solid and delicious. Mixing in the back fat added a junky sweetness and saltiness that enhanced the flavor. The dumplings had a nice spread of vegetable and garlic flavors in the mouth. I would be very happy if this restaurant was in my neighborhood.

I visited a highly rated Chinese restaurant in the city. I tried the Seafood Five-Ingredient Fried Rice for ¥1,250. The fried rice was okay, but I didn't feel the depth of flavor that I was hoping for. The ingredients lacked richness and the taste of salt was predominant. The Chinese soup had a bit of a junky feel to it and was not very good. I am still searching for my number one fried rice after my favorite place closed down. This restaurant opened in 2006, inheriting the taste of the popular Mita Ajiban. The exterior and interior had a messy atmosphere and felt a bit unsettling. However, the restaurant was constantly busy with solo diners, couples, and families. It is completely non-smoking.

The difference in skill level really shows in the pork fat fried rice. It's becoming one of my top 10 favorite dishes in the past 10 years. Also, I recently noticed that the taste of fried rice is different depending on whether a male or female chef is shaking the pan.

One of the holy sites of fried rice, Ajichi. Finally made it here. For first-time visitors, fried rice is a must! There are several types, but I decided to go with the back fat fried rice. Enjoying the moist fried rice while intertwining with the sweetness of the back fat. It was truly delicious, as expected from Ajichi.

I placed my first order for Spicy Negi Backfat Fried Rice! Spicy Negi is definitely perfect for summer!! I also tried the rare beef tongue since they had it on the menu for the first time. Despite having so many menu options, my favorite is still the soup that comes with the fried rice. As I sip on the soup, I can't help but think about the fact that it definitely has MSG in it!! It's a MSG festival and it's a winner.

I arrived as soon as the restaurant opened for lunch, but it quickly became full. It was my first time trying this restaurant, and I found the fried rice with pork fat to be a bit too greasy. I would like to try the regular fried rice next time. The dumplings were not bad, but they seemed mass-produced and I couldn't really like them. However, paying 1,500 yen for fried rice seems a bit too much...

Fried rice with pork back fat was ordered and it was delicious. However, personally, I didn't need the pork back fat. The restaurant is not exactly clean, but personally, I found it somewhat charming. However, people who are very particular about cleanliness may want to avoid it. I will revisit to try the wonton noodles. Personally, my favorite fried rice is probably from Daisangen in Toyota City.

Meguro Ajichi's "Backfat Fried Rice" with Garlic Rice and Chemicals to make it heavenly. Today we attacked a long-standing Iechika property with no raw rice feeling, Is This Love®. Unfortunately, the usual older sister wasn't there, so we lightly nodded and left the store!
