    定食が何種類かと壁に貼っているものから単品も選べます 今回は定食のほかに春なのでフキノトウの天ぷらもいただきました 広くはないお店ですが 店頭のノートに名前を書いて待っているとあまり待たずに済みました 昼近くになると売り切れになるものが増えていくようです

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Shinjuku 3-17-21
    A veteran tonkatsu pork cutlet restaurant founded in 1921. A five-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, this shop nestled on the back streets of Isetan is said to be the birthplace of tonkatsu. The specialty is ton-don, pork cutlet curry on rice. The hearty dish features a chewy cutlet covered with a simple, old-style curry. The cutlet is coated with a mille-feuille-like crust that's soft enough to cut with a spoon, so it's popular among people of all ages . It's often tough to get a seat at lunch during the week.

    I was taken here by a Japanese friend who thinks it is one of the best Tonkatsu and Ebi-Fry restaurants in Tokyo, and I have to agree. It was absolutely delicious! Ive been back here every time I go...

    Tokyo Oumeshi Nishiwakechou 3-127
    A creative cuisine restaurant located in Nishiwake, Ome City. Mayugura serves creative, nutritionally balanced dishes make use of seasonal ingredients with a focus on fresh vegetables. Try the Kurazen meal, which comes with aperitif, dessert, and multitier bento box, or the Mayuzen selection of small dishes and dessert; there’s also the vegetarian saishoku plate, curry, stew plates, and sweets.

    電話の対応も接客も最悪。 確かに薄味で身体には優しいのかもしれないけど、あの接客じゃ二度と行きません。 食の細い人、ご高齢の人なら、まぁまぁの味付け。 まゆぜん(2,000円)を食べましたが、デザートを頼んでも中々持って来ない。 駐車場は隣にあって2時間無料になるけど、混んでいてら過ぎた分は自分持ち。

    Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 7-7-4
    "A 3-minute walk from Shibamata Station on the Keisei Electric Railway line, this restaurant is located on the Teishakuten approach shopping street. It is a tempura restaurant established in 1885 and has been in business for more than 100 years. The tempura shop was used as a filming location for the movie ""Otoko wa Tsuraiyo"" (Otoko wa Tsuraiyo), and the restaurant serves freshly deep-fried tempura, tendon, and oden. Some of the tempura deep-fried in front of the restaurant include prawns that are over 20 cm in length. The view of the approach to the restaurant from the nostalgic store, which is filled with the atmosphere of the Showa period, is like being in a classic movie."

    テレビで紹介されているのをみて、天童を食べに行きました。カラっと揚がった天ぷらに、秘伝と思わせるような濃いたれがかかっていて、絶品。昔ながらの古い造りの店内も、よい雰囲気でした。

    "This oden hotpot shop is located in the Suna-machi Ginza Shotengai shopping arcade a short bus ride from Nishi-ojima Station on the Toei Subway Shinjuku Line. So popular it sees an unending stream of customers, the shop sells a wide variety of oden dishes to either eat standing up on the spot or take home and enjoy later. The selection of oden, kept stewing right in front of the shop, is so abundant, you'll have trouble remember everything that's available even after coming here several times. The shop's oden was even featured on the television version of the popular comic book ""Kodoku no Gourmet"" (""Solitary Gourmet""). The shop's oden dishes are soaked through with the delicious dashi stock used to boil them, and they have a mild, delicate flavor. Those ordering takeout will receive a hearty helping of dashi along with their oden dishes, which can then be brought home to be slowly savored at your leisure."
