It's the last week of March, and my last week at my current location before being transferred. Today, I went to a favorite restaurant of mine, "Sakanaya," where I switched to having lunch centered around fish about a year ago. For my final meal there, I had the following dish: Grilled Striped Hokke Set Meal - ¥880 The Hokke fish was grilled perfectly, with a nice crispy texture. As I ate, I couldn't help but think, "This is the end..." It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Last night, my stomach wasn't feeling great after drinking, so I decided to visit "Uo-ya" today. I chose this dish because it seemed easy to eat: - Grilled Lemon Flounder Set Meal: ¥950 A grilled fish dish with a refreshing lemon flavor. The individual fish was smaller compared to hokke, mackerel, or salmon, but it was just right for my stomach condition today. The rice was cooked better than usual and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I had lunch at "Uo-ya" for the first time in two weeks. They offer 5-6 daily specials, with familiar options like mackerel and hokke. This time, I tried the following dish for the first time: - Grilled tsubodai (blackhead seabream) set meal for ¥1,000 The fish had a firm texture and was easy to pick apart with chopsticks. The saltiness was not too strong, but it had a juicy and delicious taste. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was at "Uo-ya" restaurant. I usually choose fish from the 4-5 lunch menu options, but this time I tried meat for the first time. - Pork loin miso-marinated grilled set meal ¥950 The miso marinade was sweet and went well with the rice. Since my stomach wasn't feeling great, I made sure to chew well today. Meat is good too. Thank you for the meal.

The popular restaurant is always full around 12:00 on weekdays. Today, I was able to enter with just a short wait around 12:30. The bowfin fish set meal was 900 yen. It arrived in about 5 minutes after ordering. The fish was fluffy and thick, very delicious! The menu also includes mackerel and salmon. The mackerel is quite large in size. It's understandable why this place is so popular. The lunch, which includes miso soup and pickles, was very satisfying for the body. The staff were friendly too. (Please note that credit cards cannot be used during lunch time)

Today's lunch was at "Uo-ya" after about a month. The menu board displayed options like herring and sea bream, but I decided to go with this one. I chose the Big Mackerel Set Meal for ¥880. When it was brought to me, I was surprised by its size. This mackerel is definitely big. It didn't even fit on the plate. It took me a bit of effort to deal with the bones and such, but it was delicious. One good thing about Uo-ya is that you can see the actual size of the fish at the entrance, so there are no surprises. Thank you for the meal.

I had to work in the Nishi-Shinjuku area today. For lunch, I revisited this restaurant. I chose the grilled fish set meal with red snapper today. As always, the rice was cooked perfectly and the fish was grilled well, providing a delicious lunch.

Started the post-Golden Week holiday with lunch at "Uo-ya" restaurant. They always have multiple fish menu options available, and it's great that they display actual fish samples at the entrance for size reference. This time, I had the following dish: - Saury Saikyo Yaki Set Meal: ¥880 The fish was tender, the bones were well taken care of, making it very easy to eat. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I had to go to the Nishi-Shinjuku area for work. For lunch, I revisited this restaurant. Since I had mackerel for breakfast and it was cold, I decided on the simmered hamburger steak set. This restaurant, as the name suggests, is known for its delicious fish dishes, but their non-fish lunch sets are also tasty. The homemade hamburger steak is served with green vegetables, making it look appealing. The demi-glace sauce is also delicious. I chose a smaller portion of rice.

Today I had a fish lunch at "Uo-ya" restaurant. After debating between salmon, mackerel, and others on the menu board, I decided on the following: - Striped Hokke Set Meal_¥850 It was slightly smaller than the sample displayed at the storefront, but that's within an acceptable range of variation. I prefer the rice to be a bit firmer. Thank you for the meal.

Today, due to work, I often go to the area around Nishi-Shinjuku for lunch. I revisited this restaurant where I often go. Today's daily lunch special was "Mapo Tofu," and since Tokyo was quite cold, I decided without hesitation to choose the Mapo Tofu set meal. The dish consisted of tofu, vegetables, pork, and konjac. The Mapo Tofu was seasoned on the sweeter side, with a mild spiciness from the chili paste spread on the tofu, which was exquisite and very delicious. Moreover, it really warmed up my body. I reaffirmed that this restaurant is a place where the food is very delicious.

Today, I revisited this restaurant. The tartar sauce that came with the fried chicken set I had last time was delicious, so I asked for a little less rice this time. The freshly fried chicken with cold tartar sauce was a perfect combination and very tasty.

Today, I went to the Shinjuku area again for work. I revisited this restaurant and tried their fried chicken set meal, which I hadn't had before. I asked for a smaller portion of rice. The portions of the side dishes at this restaurant are quite generous. The rice was shiny and very delicious. And this time, the fried chicken came with tartar sauce. The crispy texture of the fried chicken and the tartar sauce went really well together. The pickles served at the end were lightly seasoned and refreshing.

Today I decided to eat fish, so I had lunch at "Sakanaya" for the 10th time in total, after a 2-week break. They had salmon and silver cod, but I chose the grilled fish here. ◆ Mackerel set meal_¥880 I struggled a bit with the bones, but the whole fish was satisfying to eat. I finished with a refreshing touch of lemon. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was a revisit to this restaurant. This time I chose the grilled mackerel set meal. The salt-grilled mackerel looked like dried fish. The mackerel was served with the head on, which is good, but the meat was a bit dry and lacked the juicy texture. As someone who appreciates good mackerel, I was a bit disappointed. I prefer mackerel that is plump and fatty.

Today, due to work, I went to the restaurant area in this building and decided to revisit this restaurant I had been to before. I chose the daily special, which was the simmered cod lunch set. The cod was well seasoned and cooked in a way that it didn't fall apart. The seasonal simmered cod was very delicious.

Today, I had lunch at "Uo-ya" for the first time in a month and a half. The fish menu was indeed extensive. This time, I ordered the following: Grilled fresh cod set meal - ¥900. Lately, there have been a lot of grilled fish options, so it was nice to rediscover the deliciousness of simmered fish. The cod was well-prepared with no bones, which was great. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was at "Uo-ya" restaurant. Since I had a high-calorie intake on my day off, I opted for grilled fish. [Mackerel set meal (with less rice)] ¥880 The mackerel could have been grilled a bit more for my liking. I prefer it when the skin gets crispy. Looking forward to it next time. Thank you for the meal.

September is also coming to an end today. As you get older, you start to feel that time flies by quickly. Today, I had lunch at "Uo-ya" for the second time this month. I had the following dish: [Hirame Saikyo-yaki set meal (with less rice)] ¥900. The Saikyo-yaki with white miso was delicious, fluffy, and boneless, making it easy to eat. It had been a while since I last had it, and it was very tasty. Thank you for the meal.

This week's lunch started at "Uo-ya" restaurant. They have multiple fish set meal options, so it's always an exciting place to visit. This time, I had the following: [Mackerel set meal (less rice)] ¥880. The mackerel was a good size and easy to eat, with plenty of pickles on the side. Another recommended point here. Thank you for the delicious meal today.
