Teishokuya Kaachan (a diner)

Among the standard set meal menus, the most popular are the fried chicken and the ginger pork. The five large chunks of fried chicken make for a substantial portion. The staff all laughed and said that the marinade was a trade secret, but they did tell us that they use doubanjiang (chili bean paste). The chicken is fried to a deep golden color, and when you bite into it, it has a spicy kick that's addictive.

The ginger-fried pork shoulder has a slightly sweet flavor. "The trick is to cook it quickly so the meat doesn't get tough. It seems simple, but it's actually difficult to get the timing right," he says. It has many loyal fans, and is even served as part of the breakfast set menu. Apparently, some people get up early just to come and have this "ginger-fried pork that you'll want to eat even in the morning." The restaurant used to be open from 4 a.m. since its founding, but the management changed about nine years ago and the menu was revamped. Since adopting the current style, they say that the number of young customers, both men and women, coming on their way home from work has increased. "Dishes that people find troublesome to cook at home, such as fried foods and grilled fish, as well as home-style side dishes, are popular." It's a diner that is bustling with people looking for home-style cooking.

Wanpaku Shokudo (a restaurant specializing in playful and energetic children)

"Wanpaku Shokudo" is run by owner Hiroaki Ohashi all by himself. If you look closely at the sign, below the shop name it says "A shop that serves ginger pork, fried chicken, and hamburgers," and the fact that this is actually the entire menu is incredibly refreshing. The reason for carefully selecting the menu is very simple: "Because these are definitely among the top dishes that everyone loves," which makes perfect sense.

What all three dishes have in common is that they use homemade salt koji and soy sauce koji in their preparation and cooking. They use each in different ways to bring out the flavor and tenderness of the meat. The set meals come with rice, miso soup, and homemade pickles. The rice used is "Hitomebore," and they only source the best quality domestic rice of the season. The restaurant started with three types of set meals, but this spring they added chicken nanban to the menu. The new menu was decided after listening to requests from regular customers. Mr. Ohashi's motto, which conveys a sense of closeness with his customers, is "to make your heart and stomach happy." True to his word, you are sure to be happy with the delicious food and enjoyable conversation.

Yushokuya Raku

This reliable restaurant serves set meals until 10 PM. As it's part of the same group as the popular "Ajiyasu" set meal restaurant which opens early in the morning, you can be sure of the taste. They are particular about using domestically sourced ingredients, and they use Koshihikari rice. The regular set meals offer a good balance of meat, fish, and vegetables, and they also have a daily special, making it a difficult choice.

The spacious interior offers table seating, raised seating areas, and sunken seating, making it flexible enough for families, small groups, and banquets, and private rooms are also available. The counter seats are spaced far enough apart, making it a great place to relax alone. Some people use it as an izakaya (Japanese pub) to enjoy a variety of à la carte dishes and the manager's carefully selected sake. On the other hand, they also offer children's meals and omurice (omelet rice), so it's also recommended for those who want a family restaurant-like experience. Its versatility and ease of use for a wide range of occasions are also attractive features.
