Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Yuki Izakaya Restaurant

An izakaya with 5 seats at the counter and a tatami room in the back. I saw the lunch menu on the sidewalk and went in on impulse. I ordered the ginger grill for 800 yen. There are two customers at the counter and two at the tatami room. The shopkeeper is doing his best by himself. Apparently smoking is allowed in the tatami room... You can watch TV from the counter, so you can wait for a few minutes while watching a daytime program. I was just making ginger-yaki and could hear the delicious grilling sound. My appetite has increased. Oh, it was the previous customer's ginger grill. You can see the thick pork. Looks like a steak. I'm feeling excited. Shinji Maki's colored paper is displayed behind the counter. That's a nostalgic name... A few more minutes of waiting. The long-awaited ginger grill is now available. 4 pieces of pork, slightly thinner than a steak, but still thick. It is sprinkled with black pepper. Looks delicious! On the same plate, there were heaps of fried eggs, stir-fried bean sprouts, spaghetti salad, potato salad, and shredded cabbage. It comes with a lot of miso soup, and the ingredients are seaweed, tofu, turnip, and green onion. The meal came in a bowl. A bite of the long-awaited ginger grill. It's so delicious! The slightly sweet and salty sauce has a tinge of black pepper. Season to your liking. A straight strike right in the middle! Thick, chewy pork. I can't get enough of this. The meal progresses. The crunchiness of stir-fried bean sprouts is also good. Salad spaghetti has a lot of volume. This is also delicious. At the end, I left some rice and ate it as a fried egg bowl. What a blessing to be able to have so much fun and delicious food in one meal! Full and super satisfied! I will be going again, so please continue to ban smoking at the counter seats.

I went to see "Akabane Magazine". There was a shop in a place like this❔. When you exit Akabane Station from the south exit 31 side, turn left at the first 7-Eleven traffic light and walk for about 10 minutes to find Lawson. This is the sequence. It is along the street leading from 7-Eleven. There is a business supermarket, Amica, on the way, but there is still a long way to go. I went when the store opened at 11:15, but there were already customers ahead of me. As expected from a store featured in Akabane Magazine. I entered the store as soon as it opened at 11:15, but three groups immediately entered the store and occupied the tatami room. A few more people came next, and the counter inside the store (wide and spacious, L-shaped with 6 seats in total) was full at 11:30. Everyone was ordering beef dice cutlet, so I ordered that too. It's a one-off operation by the chef, but it's a lot of work, and the food comes out quickly. It will be served in about 10 minutes. The set meals feel like they cut corners and make no compromises. The quantity is huge, but it's really delicious. This is a big hit. When I counted the beef dice, there were 17 pieces. The bonito is topped with an exquisite demi-glace sauce that makes the rice irresistible. Eating the katsu with a half-boiled fried egg on top of rice will make it even more delicious. Miso soup is light and deliciously neutralizes the fat in the bonito. The ingredients are seaweed, tofu, and green onions on the iron plate. This is 800 yen. Lunch only. There are only 3 items on the menu. Even though I went through Akabane Magazine, I found a famous restaurant for lunch. I would definitely like to receive the other two items in the near future. The regular next door was drinking draft beer, so I would like to order draft beer next time. There's a lot of beef dice cutlet, so next time I'd like to try the first half with beer and the second half with fried egg and rice. You have to go with a hungry stomach. It was a wonderful shop✨

The volume of lunch is staggering. Delicious 😋🍴
