Hyperlocal Tokyo

It's always crowded, but I went on a holiday around 11 am and waited in line to buy. The tai meshi (sea bream rice) was delicious, with the rice having a strong flavor! It's amazing for ¥1,000 😀. The recommended three-item platter has less rice, but it makes up for it with plenty of ingredients. The fish was also delicious, with a good amount of fat. For ¥1,600, it's a much better deal than a seafood bowl at a random place 👌. Finally, the Wagyu roast beef & grilled set. The roast beef was excellent 😋. The grilled items were also flavorful, cooked over charcoal 🔥. This was also ¥1,600 🙄.

I think I went around 1:30 PM, but there were only three bento boxes left at that time. It was a bit disappointing, but it just shows how popular this place is. I bought some sushi to commemorate my visit. The taste was decent, nothing to complain about for this level. However, it's a bit far from my house, so it was quite difficult to take it home. I ended up eating it in the park, but I definitely wished there was a table. I'm curious about what other items they have, so I'm giving it 4 stars. But for someone who isn't a foodie, I think this would be considered quite delicious. The staff were friendly.

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, so I came here when I was in the neighborhood. I arrived a little after 11:00 am, and there were already about 10 people in line. But since I was getting takeout, it didn't take long to get my food. I definitely had to get some tuna, and I also got some seafood, tuna, and eel. Everything was delicious! If I had to pick a favorite, I wouldn't say the eel was a must-try again.

I arrived at 11:00 and was the sixth in line. The shop opened 30 minutes later. The bento box I chose had different contents than what I expected, and I was slightly hesitant about what to get (for less than 10 seconds). Then, a regular customer behind me said, "Sorry for making you wait," with a strange sense of pressure. The taste was average. If there's no cost for processing, the tuna today isn't worth the price.

I finally made it to the restaurant I'd been wanting to try! I arrived an hour early and there was only one group waiting. By opening time, there was a line of 50 people! The tempura donburi, unagi donburi, roast beef donburi, and takikomi gohan were all delicious. The nikujaga (beef and potato stew) and kakuni (braised pork belly) were a bit too salty for my taste. The whale hamburger was quite strong-smelling, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you're okay with that kind of flavor.
