This is a restaurant located at the intersection of Moti Dori and Pheu Nee Street Shops.
For those who are going to drive, it might be easier to understand if we refer to the location near the entrance of the Koshien Interchange on the capital expressway.
It is believed that the nearest station for trains is Tōbu Oiwazu Station, but it is still a considerable distance from any other stations.
When you search for "Toraichi Street Store District" on the internet,
Along with the names of J-ONE talents, it seems that the location was also used as a filming site for a drama quite recently.
この商店街は、見た目からして古いことがわかります。東京での大空襲の戦火で焼失した建物や、昭和初期に建てられた建物などが今でも残っています。
The width of the street remains as it was in the early Showa period,
On both sides of the narrow road, where a single car can barely pass, are lined up shops.
This restaurant is located near the entrance of such a commercial street. It doesn’t seem to be from the early Showa period.
With its historical atmosphere, this building gives the impression of being a magnificent structure within this commercial district.
I had passed by the store's entrance several times before, and it was a store that I really wanted to visit.
On that day, I headed straight for this restaurant from the very beginning.
When I arrived in front of the store, as usual, there was a menu board properly displayed on the storefront.
Due to the lack of photos and samples, it's not possible to determine the appearance of the items themselves.
In this way, a restaurant that lists prices alongside just the text is considered to be fair and honest.
As I walked through the hanso and entered the restaurant, to my left was a counter seat called "zabaneba".
However, there is no one in the restaurant.
While calling out to them, I waited for a while, and then a man who seemed to be the head chef appeared from behind the counter.
I arrived at the designated seat and ordered the arranged menu from the counter, which listed the items priced at 1,200 yen each.
Cooking & Taste: 3.2
The first item placed in front of me upon ordering was a omelette.
Since it was "grilled fresh", I didn't actually order it.
We received it along with a generous serving of food as a courtesy.
I felt a subtle sweetness, but I couldn't tell if it was due to sugar or not.
It was a nostalgic omelette that didn’t even contain any broth. It had the taste of an omelette left untouched by any cooking.
And, about 10 minutes after placing the order, I received the side dish over the counter.
It's a beautiful presentation.
It took some time, but it seemed that the staff were doing their work with care, from behind the counter.
All ingredients were cut into bite-sized pieces.
All of them are quite delicious.
The amount of vinegar rice beneath the toppings seemed small, even at the point when it appeared as part of the toppings.
It's a vinegar rice that seems soft and moist.
Upon tasting it, it turns out that the softness of the vinegar rice as seen in the description is indeed true. Although it cannot be called exactly the same as o-hagi, its texture is quite similar to o-hagi.
The sourness was strong, a unique taste that I had never experienced at any sushi restaurant before.
It was a distinctive taste, something I had never experienced before. But considering that this restaurant has been open for a long time, it seems...
I thought that perhaps this flavor is indeed the local flavor of this area.
The soup with soba noodles was prepared by your son, isn't it?
A young craftsman made it, and he brought it here. It was delicious.
Service: 3.2
Just like the first omelette, the chef was very friendly and always approached us to talk.
I had the impression that the master chef was a person with a strong spirit of service.
Atmosphere: 3.1
Although I did sense a certain sense of daily life, it gave me the impression of a sushi restaurant in a city with a calm atmosphere.
CP 3.0
It seems that the food was prepared with great care.
Wines & Drinks: 3.1
I was served hot tea.
総合評価は、3.0としました。
The appearance was extremely beautiful, and it seemed that the dish was carefully prepared.
However, the pickled rice was so distinctive that I was a little surprised by the taste upon my first try.
I had never before received yummy vinegar rice like this.
I was really curious about what would happen if I used this vinegar rice for nigeru. It has a different meaning in a different way.
However, as mentioned earlier, this is a historic city with a well-preserved shopping district.
This restaurant also seems to have a considerable history.
Considering that this flavor can be enjoyed now, it seems that I have already had it before.
Perhaps for the people living in this neighborhood, this flavor is simply a normal part of life.
Recently, I noticed a family of four who seemed to be regular customers entering the store.
It felt like I was in a different world, and it was quite educational.
