There were continuous malfunctions with the vacuum cleaner. Finally, it stopped working. After purchasing a new vacuum cleaner at Yamada Electric Company,
I decided to have dinner at "Tonkatsu Kazuko," located within the Nitris Shopping Center.
Due to the restaurant being fully booked, one group was waiting for over 5 minutes before being guided to their seats.
It’s been about a year and a half since I last visited this place, so when I checked the menu, I noticed that kaki-fry isn’t available yet during this season.
The price remained the same as last time, so I felt relieved.
If there are no kaki-fries, then I always have a certain dish prepared for me.
I prefer the "Hiretsu Roso Misenkei Ippai" meal where hiretsutsu and ross can be eaten together.
My wife ordered the "hire-katsu-nabe rice" from the Katsunabe restaurant.
This restaurant is located on the first floor of the Nitris Shopping Center.
Not only do many people dine out, but it seems that quite a few customers also use the service for takeout.
Unlike the restaurants in the city center, these are suburban-style stores, so the tables are spaced far apart from each other.
It's so comfortable that I can barely hear the conversation of the customer next to me.
During the return journey, I asked my wife to take over driving. I ordered a fresh beer, which was served along with the food.
I couldn't wait, so I asked the staff to serve me raw beer first.
When I spoke to the staff, they responded immediately. I drank the raw beer in one gulp♪
In this restaurant, they serve rice cooked using a pot-baking method. Therefore, after placing the order, the food was served approximately 20 minutes later.
The "hirayaki-rose combined rice" I ordered consists of 2 hirayaki-cuts and rose katsu.
This is a set including shredded cabbage, pickled vegetables, boiled rice, and miso soup with clam.
On the table, there were tonkatsu sauce, sesame dressing, yuzu dressing, and soy sauce.
Rice, miso soup, and cabbage are available for free portioning♪
I feel that the thickness of the hirēkatsu & rōsukatsu in this set has become thinner compared to before.
As a speciality restaurant for tonkatsu, even though the meat is not very thick, it was crisply fried and tender, making it delicious. ♪
I really like this freshly cooked pot rice because it's so delicious! That's why I've become a fan of "Tonkatsu Wakatsuki"!
My wife was very happy to be able to eat meat.
I would be fine with topping it with raw eggs, and just TKG or miso soup with clam is enough for me (laughs).
My wife ordered "hirayakatsu bango yakin", and she ordered two servings for me.
I shared one cut of pork belly and one cut of pork croquettes with each other.
The set ordered by my wife was also expensive, so instead of shredded cabbage,
It was a salad with potato salad and mini tomatoes. Other ingredients were the same as mine.

Our family's second refrigerator has broken down.
After finishing my work, I went out with my wife to buy groceries at Yamada Electric in the neighborhood!
After purchasing a refrigerator at Yamada Electric, I decided to have dinner at the neighboring restaurant, Tonkatsu Kōkyō.
尽管已经是晚上8点左右,但餐厅仍然座无虚席,因此我等了大约12分钟后才被引导到座位上。
I was looking forward to eating kaki-fry, but...
Indeed, by April, the kaki-fry service had already ended.
The temporary menu features "Hanagoyomi," which includes cream croquettes made with cherry shrimp sourced from the Shinano Bay.
海老フライと一口ひれかつが付いて、1,430円(税込)でした。
The classic tonkatsu menu includes "Rozu Tonkatsu Rice" for 1,480 yen (including tax).
“ひれかつ御飯”1,580円(税込)ですが、普段このメニューを食べていないので…
It's not clear whether the price has increased or not, but...
The menu items I ate before mainly cost 1,380 yen (including taxes), so I think the price has probably increased.
I ordered the "Hirero Sake Misen Ippai". I was served about 18 minutes later.
2個のヒレカツ、ロースカツ、千切りキャベツ、辛子、漬物
This is a set including pot-roasted rice and miso soup with clam.
Since I've been drinking warm beer these past few days, I really want to try cold beer as well.
I asked my wife to change the driving mode, and then I went for a shot of fresh beer♪
On the table, there are tonkatsu sauces, sesame dressing, yuzu dressing, and soy sauce.
Additionally, you can get extra rice, miso soup, and cabbage freely♪
This is a combination dish of one bite of beef fillet and roe, so the thickness of the meat can be ignored; the focus is on volume.
As a professional restaurant-review translation engine, I will translate this segment accurately into English. Please note that I will only retain the necessary proper nouns and avoid mixing Latin letters with Japanese characters within the same word. The output should be in natural English. Here is the translated segment:
“Indeed, being a specialized store for ‘tonkatsu’, the fried tofu and roe are crisp and fresh.”
Both types of meat were soft and delicious.
This restaurant is attractive because it serves freshly cooked pot rice!
Once you remove the lid, the rice grains stand upright and shine. Just rice and miso soup are enough.
Her husband ordered "Yama Bushi", and she ate one hiraki with two pieces of Kani Cream Croquette as a set meal.
The shredded cabbage was also delicious. I ordered one portion for myself, and my wife ordered half a portion.
The tea bowl contained two portions of food, but my wife also ate one portion.
My stomach became so full that I couldn’t move anymore!

Since my wife was out, we went to the first floor of the Nitri Koganei Shopping Center along Setagaya Street.
I had dinner at "Tonkatsu Kazuko". ♪
It's the season for kaki fry, so I visited this place again after about a year.
Entering the restaurant, I was immediately directed to a seat without having to wait.
When eating kaki-fry at this restaurant, you can choose to eat "kaki-fry rice" or "hi-re-kaki-moe-zome-sei-rye-san."
Both items had their prices increased by 50 yen.
Since I also wanted to try the katsu, I ordered "Hirekaki Zengai Seki Ippo".
After ordering, we waited approximately 15 minutes before being served.
2個の牡蠣フライ、2個のヒレカツのほかに、千切りキャベツ、漬物、タルタルソース。
This is a set including釜炊きご飯 (pot-roasted rice) and shimeji miso soup.
On the table were placed soy sauce, yuzu dressing, sesame dressing, and tonkatsu sauce.
Additionally, you can get extra rice, miso soup, and cabbage freely♪
Fried oysters and fillet cutlets served in pairs, topped with shredded cabbage
It was served with lemon.
The crust was crispy, while the inside was juicy. The oyster wings were as delicious as expected.
The cutlet was also tender, and the rice cooked quickly!
This restaurant’s charm lies in its offering of cooked rice using a pot-baking method.
It's also a pleasure to have a capacity of two servings in a tea bowl.
The miso soup made with clam, the pickles, and the tartar sauce—all are above average in quality and delicious.
During the meal, I had some cabbage♪
We topped the dish with Yuzu dressing, ate half of it, and consumed the remaining half with the sauce.
At an affordable price, high-quality oysters fried and cutlet with shrimp, also comes with a generous portion.
The cost-performance ratio was also excellent!

I really wanted to eat oysters, so I went with my wife to 'Tonkatsu Kōkyō' for dinner.
A store located on the first floor of the Nitori Koganei Shopping Center, along the Setagaya-dori.
I visited after 7 PM, but it was more crowded than I expected. There were also many customers who ordered their food to be taken away.
I only looked at the page with oysters fried, and immediately ordered two servings of "kaki-fry rice".
At Washoku, there is a particular emphasis on rice. Each person is served rice cooked in a pot by hand.
Therefore, we were served approximately 18 minutes after placing our order.
This set includes 5 fried clams, along with shredded cabbage, rice, miso soup, pickles, and tartar sauce.
It's also a pleasure that we can request additional servings of rice, miso soup, and cabbage at any time♪
The table features a blend of soy sauce, yuzu dressing, sesame dressing, and various spices.
Special sauce is provided.
5個の揚げたての牡蠣フライが提供され、それには千切りキャベツ、レモン、辛子が添えられています。
The fabric had a crisp, light texture with a satisfying chew, while the inside was juicy and delicious. ♪
Hand-crafted rice, cooked one portion at a time in a traditional pot—this rice is truly delicious.
The pot contains two portions of rice bowls, and I also received some from my wife.
The miso soup with shiji미, as well as the pickles, were also delicious. Since I was allowed to change the cut cabbage multiple times, my stomach was completely full.
Popular tonkatsu restaurants and Western-style eateries offer their oyster rolls at prices that are not easily affordable.
When the season for oyster fries arrives, I visit "Wakatsuki".

位于狛江的世田谷通り沿线的尼托里购物中心一楼,有一家名为“唐鱼和幸”的店铺。
I ate dinner♪
Due to the emergency declaration, the restaurant served its last order at 7:15 PM, with the store closing at 8 PM.
There were frequent visits from takeout customers.
I left the company on time, but if I stayed to work overtime, I would have become a food-stamping refugee.
This season, clam fritters are a popular dish. I ordered "clam and seafood mixed rice"♪
This is a set consisting of 2 pieces of hirka-katsu, 2 pieces of kaki-fry, as well as cabbage, rice, miso soup, and pickles.
Rice, miso soup, and cabbage can be ordered again freely♪
Hire-katsum & kaki-fry are also beautifully prepared. The classic shredded cabbage, lemon, and halia are also excellent.
It was included.
The white rice cooked in a traditional pot was served in its freshly cooked state, and the rice was shining brightly!
In addition to white rice cooked in a traditional pot, there is also miso soup made with shrimp, pickles, tartar sauce, and tea served in a Japanese cup.
The kabisuke was fried with a crispy crust on the outside, and the inside was juicy. The kishimen kabu also had thick, tender meat.
It was extremely delicious.
I requested a second serving of cabbage, but the rice and miso soup made my stomach feel full even with this portion. It’s a chain restaurant, but it’s great that I can get such satisfaction within a budget of just over 1,500 yen.
Thank you for your hospitality ♪
