We went in because we wanted a set meal. I imagined a set meal as a tray with side dishes, miso soup, and rice, where you eat what you ordered. But here, the side dishes, miso soup, and rice are all served separately, so we could share the side dishes with our family. The croquettes were fluffy and delicious! My father ordered the chopped octopus, which was also plentiful and tasty. I'm curious about the other sashimi. Everything is very generous in size, so be careful not to order too much. Especially the rice, the regular size is a bowl. There are so many menu items, I want to come back again. The prices are also very reasonable. As soon as we entered, it was full, but there were also many solo diners, and the turnover seemed fast. I don't think you'd have to wait too long, even if you did.

A Japanese-style restaurant near Hoppy Street in Asakusa. It has a first floor and a second floor, each with enough space for about 20 people. I was surprised by how fluent the staff's English was. Foreign tourists should be able to use it without any worries. I ordered a katsu curry and a stir-fried pork set meal. The stir-fried pork is apparently a specialty of this restaurant. The flavor was like a demi-glace sauce. However, the portion was a bit small, so I quickly ordered an additional chicken cutlet. It was crispy and delicious.

The menu is full of delicious and hearty options, making it hard to choose! I went on a Saturday around 4 PM and it was almost full, so reservations might be necessary if you want to be sure to get a table. I deducted one point because the toilet lock was a bit difficult to close. The miso soup broth had a variety of flavors and was delicious. I'll definitely try the potato salad next time!

Located in the tourist district of Asakusa, this is a valuable restaurant that offers set meals at relatively reasonable prices. The interior is simple and has a down-to-earth atmosphere. The chopped tuna was plentiful and delicious. The shrimp tempura had a rather hard batter.

I had the grilled tuna set meal with fresh vegetables (it's called a salad, but it's straight up vegetables). The rice was a large portion by default, and they asked me beforehand if that was okay (it seems like they'd deduct 50 yen if you wanted less), but the tuna was simmered in a rich broth, so it wasn't a problem. The rice, miso soup, fresh vegetables, grilled tuna, and pickles were all delicious. The only complaint I have is that I felt the fresh vegetables didn't need the fruit. Maybe it could be served on a separate plate... It was delicious, but it felt strange to pair it with a mayonnaise-based salad. That being said, the staff were very kind and attentive, so overall it was a very satisfying experience.
