Ikaruga, Nara, Japan｜Ippeichan

I passed by in the little street accidentaly comming back from the Horiu-ji temple but when I saw the place I knew I had to go in. And what a great decision!!! The food tastes simply amazing, and the cook is such a nice guy. Opened 13 years ago this small 6-seat restaurant and commutes every day 1hour from Osaka to non-stop working from 11 to 21. If you are arround, just go!

I went to ``Kuppa's Shop Ippei-chan'' near the popular tourist spot ``Horyuji'' in Ikaruga Town to try the delicious ``Kuppa Set Meal''👾 . . Ippei-chan has won a Michelin Bib Gourmand for his Bowser specialty store👾 . . The parking lot has space for 3 cars diagonally beside the store entrance (next to Sugi Pharmacy) 👾 . . The back entrance of the store is along Prefectural Route 5, so it may be a little difficult to find. . . The cuppa set meal is quite cheap at 650 yen, so we recommend adding various toppings! This time ✴︎Harusame ✴︎Tofu ✴︎Tokitamako I wanted to eat a lot, so I went for the large size, but it was still quite cheap at 1000 yen👾 . . The soup was created so that you could enjoy the flavor and richness rather than the spiciness, and the beef tongue was so delicious that it melted into pieces, so delicious that I even took it home 👾 . . Take-out is also quite reasonable at 500 yen each! Some people came just for takeout 👾

Visited March 2022 At "Kuppa no Mise Ippei-chan", a 5-minute walk from JR Horyuji Station I had a piping hot “Kuppa set meal” (tofu, egg topping). Is it a special clay pot after receiving an order? is set on fire and served while still boiling. Instructions on how to eat the soup are posted inside the store, and the basics are (1) eat the ingredients and the rice with chopsticks first, (2) leave the soup, and (3) mix the rice into the soup and eat with a spoon (of course, how you eat it is up to you). Korean seaweed should be torn off and added to the soup at any time. The menu consists only of a bowl set meal (a single item can be ordered), and you can top it with harusame, tofu, tteok (Korean rice cake), egg, bean sprouts, and cheese for 50 yen each. The set meal is 700 yen for a set of soup, rice, Korean seaweed, and kakuteki. It's cheap and delicious, so I want to go again! , It became. There are only 6 seats at the counter, and on this day (weekday) it was full as soon as the store opened. There are three parking lots on the east side of the store.
