Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan｜さやま食堂

Portions are generous without being overwhelming. Cost-performance is very high; you get a lot of both quality and quantity for under ¥1000. This store’s specialty is Nagasaki champon, which I would heartily recommend. The fried rice (chahan) is great too (definitely heavy on the stomach, but it’s supposed to be 😃). Get a bowl of champon only if you are moderately hungry, or get a bowl with a half portion of fried rice if you are very hungry.

This place is brilliant

A Chinese set meal restaurant with Nagasaki Champon on its signboard near Seibu Stadium (Belluna Dome). The richness of the menu can be compared to Tonosaki and Genda's wide coverage area between Niyu, and set meals of Champon, Chinese food, and fried food. The wall is filled with Lions player autographs, and Momoclo is in the center position😊 When I first visited the store just before closing time, I received a set of champon and half-fried rice for 1,200 yen. The two, who appeared to be a married couple cooking, worked together in unison and with a sense of speed, resembling a double play between Tonosaki and Genda. The signature dish, Champon, was a masterpiece with a perfect harmony of fragrant stir-fried ingredients and rich soup. It was a very satisfying meal as I finished the soup with the fluffy fried rice. I've lived in Tokorozawa for 20 years and have passed by many times, but this is my first visit, and I want to make up for the loss I've lost.
