This is a noodle-yaki restaurant located immediately outside the minor exit of Komenoko Station on the JR line.
As the name suggests, the restaurant offers a buffet service as its main feature. It has expanded its operations to the metropolitan area with multiple branches.
The exterior of this restaurant is quite noticeable, as it features a large number of white lanterns. In the area around Komagome Station, where such large restaurants are rare, this establishment stands out prominently.
The interior of the restaurant features a long, narrow layout with seating arranged in a specific manner.
The number of seats may seem small, but I believe there are also seats on the second floor, so it has a considerable seating capacity.
The menu lists monjya-yaki as a set price of 1,089 yen, even if it isn’t served as a buffet. If you can only enjoy one piece of monjya-yaki per person and one side dish, it seems better not to opt for the buffet option.
Additionally, the ordering process uses customers' smartphones, and it's a system where users are forced to register as friends via LINE. Let's keep only one victim in this case.
What was received is,
■チェックアウト:1人につき439円・写真付きは3枚で1,317円
You can choose either mochi fried or soy milk rolls. When choosing the soy milk roll, it is mentioned that they can be topped with pine nuts, so I ordered that option.
The staff at the restaurant bakes the food on iron plates.
The otomaki uses a commercial filling.
It matches the appearance as expected.
■カマンベールチーズのペッパーモンジャ(1,089円)
The Camembert cheese used here is a cut in half of the regular size.
All the monjary-yaki dishes can be topped with cheese for free, so these are monjary-yaki dishes filled with cheese.
There is also a considerable amount of pepper scattered around, but the cheese flavor is strong and quite pleasant.
The ingredients themselves are simple, with a strong saltiness that comes through directly. However, it's the cheese that helps to bring everything together into a cohesive whole.
■牡蠣バターもんじゃ(1,089円)
Similar to the above, when cheese was added as a free topping, the presence of cheese was more prominent than that of oysters.
This is a mochi dish with mussels as a topping, isn't it?
The sweetness of the oysters is a bit subtle, but I think the brie cheese添え is not bad either.
■Pot-marinated Alami (Cow) (1,089 yen)
I was expecting to see a popular sushi chain-like restaurant, but what I got was just a small pot used to add the seasonings.
However, it is carefully cut into separate portions, and there is plenty of soy sauce in it, so it resembles a stew.
●アサヒスーパードライ(329円)
It's a slim jock, but considering the price, I'm satisfied.
●メガ爽快ハイボール(396円)
At this price, it's a decent option, even though the quality isn't top-notch.
●生搾りレモンハイボール(297円)
Since there is a cut lemon added to the dish, the price is higher. However, it remains below 300 yen, so it’s probably cheaper than most restaurants.
Since the hibール is thin, adding the lemon's sourness gives a feeling of truly enjoying alcohol.
The service was not very good. The food was served before the drinks for a sake of乾杯, and complaints from the kitchen could be heard clearly. Since it's a low-cost restaurant, this might be considered the standard. It's probably just that the seating arrangements were poor.
Although the charge is high, the alcohol prices are quite reasonable. So, you can use this place as if it were a low-cost jakuza with a version of menjya-yaki.
