Kawaguchi, Saitama, Japan｜Yayoiken Kawaguchi

My favourite family restaurant in Japan

It's a famous shop with free refills, but I came here for the first time in a while since the corona disaster. The store is always clean and the service is very good. Is it the influence of corona or the way to replace rice that has changed? In the past, it was served from the kettle with a rice bowl, but now it is a machine that presses a button to serve it in a bowl. (Has Ochazuke freedom been there for a long time?) On this day, I ordered the "Striped Atka Mackerel Set Meal". I would like to thank Yayoiken for providing us with the same large bowl of Atka mackerel that is satisfying to eat. It was very delicious. Revisited on October 20, 2022 * On this day, I ate a mackerel grilled with salt for breakfast.

I had a set meal of chilled soup and chicken nanban. Grilled mackerel was served separately, and it was a type of chilled soup where you could loosen it yourself and add it to the soup. The chicken nanban was quite large and very filling. Refills of rice are free (self-serve), so it's great value for money! !
