When I was a child, I used to go to the gas station and even if the tank was full or only had 1,000 yen, the kids there would always clean the windows with all their might. For lunch today, I had "Duck Nanban Soba with Yuzu" (537 yen) from Seiyu. The price was a bit high for Seiyu, but it's understandable because it's duck, right? I heated it in the microwave for 4 minutes and 30 seconds at 500 watts. The toppings included duck, fish cake, grilled leeks, green onions, and yuzu peel. First, I tried the broth - unfortunately, I couldn't taste the sweetness of duck broth in it, but I could faintly sense the sweetness of duck from the small amount of fat coming off the duck. Next, I tried the soba noodles - the flavor wasn't strong, but it had a good texture and was easy to swallow. The duck had a perfect amount of fat and was tender yet had a good chewy texture. The grilled leeks were sweet and soft, which complemented the duck well. The yuzu peel, sprinkled sparingly, did a great job of refreshing the palate and preventing the taste from becoming monotonous. Despite the slightly higher price for Seiyu, I didn't regret buying this Duck Nanban Soba. It would have been even better if the duck was skewered like yakitori with grilled leeks. Thank you for the meal!

My maternal grandmother had dementia. I was too scared to see her because I was afraid she wouldn't recognize me. Suddenly, I remembered her and felt sorry. For lunch today, I had "Old-fashioned Light Chinese Noodles" from Seiyu (354 yen). The name itself is appealing, right? I heated it for 5 minutes at 500 watts. The toppings were chashu, menma, wakame, and green onions. The simple toppings felt like the essence of Chinese noodles. The soup was a simple soy sauce base, comforting and not too heavy. The noodles were medium thickness and straight, easy to slurp. The chashu was delicious. Sometimes, it's the simple meals that bring the most comfort and joy.

Taking a bath may be a hassle, but you never regret taking one. For lunch today, I bought "Miso Butter Ramen" (354 yen) from Seiyu. Miso ramen is making a comeback! I removed the butter and heated it for 5 minutes at 500 watts. The aroma of the miso ramen starts to waft through the air as it heats up. I can't wait to eat it! Toppings include green onions, corn, bean sprouts, seaweed, bamboo shoots, and butter. The miso flavor is well-balanced with the richness of the vegetables and garlic. The melted butter adds a comforting touch to the soup. The noodles are straight and hold the miso soup well. It feels fresh to have straight noodles with miso ramen instead of curly noodles. Overall, for this price, the deliciousness of this ramen is commendable.

Open 24 hours, very convenient.

Anywhere Footprint Tracking Team (named by Bankara) Forbidden Super Gourmet (it's not forbidden anymore, it's a habit) Hello, I'm Chii, a reviewer of "other things". ( ´ー｀)ﾉ Nice to meet you. I have been seeing the Seiyu Hamura store for 35 years. Seiyu's private brand "Awa Mugi" costs less than 100 yen (-_-). As a small resistance, I choose the "50% off sugar" option. If you get drunk, hooray! ＼(＾o＾)／

On April 10th (Monday), it was sunny when I left my home in Yokohama early in the morning and felt a little hungry, so I stopped by a convenience store. I bought a "vegetable croquette" from the deli section, priced at 47 yen before tax, but I was told it was 50 yen at the register. I immediately sat on a bench at the station and took a bite. It wasn't piping hot, but pleasantly warm. It is made using Hokkaido-grown Russet potatoes, and I believe it also contains carrots and corn. Although it was just a snack until lunch, it was a good value for 50 yen. I visited around 9 am, so the selection wasn't at 100%, but they had 298 yen bento boxes and rice balls ready, all at affordable prices. Even well-known brand bottled teas are priced at 100 yen with change, making it more cost-effective than buying at a convenience store. The same goes for beer; it's around 250 yen at the station kiosk, but only 200 yen here. The fact that they are open 24 hours like a convenience store is also great. This store is located on the east side, but if you walk 10 minutes from the west side, you'll find Hama no Seki, a famous cherry blossom spot, with stunning cherry blossoms. Just 10 minutes' walk from Hama no Seki, there are rice fields hosting a tulip festival, so I enjoyed a double treat. (The tulips were not in full bloom yet.) The area around here, with the Tama River flowing calmly, might be perfect for living.

Higashimurayama City, Gonokami's supermarket Seiyu, on the 1st floor food sales floor. This time, it's a beer and food review again. However, this time it's a slightly different style of beer. The most unique beer recently introduced at Seiyu is probably this Amarcord series(?). By the way, I feel like Italian beers prefer slender bottles like this. This time, I purchased Amarcord Amabionda ¥150 + tax, Amarcord Amamora ¥150 + tax, Swiss Selection Premium Chocolate Milk Chocolate Gianduja ¥158 + tax. Amarcord Amabionda... Malt, orange honey, sugar, hops. 6%. 355ml bottle. Beer (malt usage rate of 50% or more). Orange-yellow. Slightly cloudy. Citrus scent. Orange, fruit. Sweet scent like honey and rock sugar. The sweetness is not as strong as the impression from the scent. There is a little acidity. The bitterness is sharp, thin, and strong. I feel some astringency. Is it an aperitif or a digestif? What would it go well with? Perhaps dessert? Amarcord Amamora... Malt, sugar, coffee, hops. 9%. 355ml bottle. Beer (malt usage rate of 50% or more). Dark black to dark brown without light passing through. Coffee, milk coffee, burnt fragrant scent. Herbal and spicy scent. Also a sweet scent. There is bitterness but it disappears quickly. There is also sweetness, but not overly sweet. No acidity and almost no astringency. Surprisingly light body. It would be better as a digestif than an aperitif, and if paired with something, it would be dessert. Chocolate or chocolate cake seems good. Ice cream too! Swiss Selection Premium Chocolate Milk Chocolate Gianduja... It's thick and has a strong sweetness. A taste I like. I tried it with the beer above! It goes well with bitter and rich beers. Also with coffee-based and bitter chocolate-based beers. Of course, even with spirits! Considering the variety, you can also pair beer with sweets. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to purchase it a little cheaper.
