Nishiwaki, Hyogo, Japan｜Murakami

I came here because I wanted to eat something that tasted like my mom's. I ordered the chicken cutlet set meal for 1500 yen. I felt a little uneasy about the unfriendly atmosphere, but I felt that the food was carefully prepared. Hand-cut cabbage that didn't seem to have been bleached, Koya tofu, Mibuna pickles, delicious grainy rice, homemade delicious miso soup, light batter fried and crispy and well seasoned. Chicken cutlet with a Western-style sauce that is not too strong. Ready-made products and family restaurants are cheap, delicious, and highly satisfying, but health concerns remain. The food here had a homemade warmth that didn't make you feel that way. As I ate it, I remembered what old ladies' cooking was like. Making set meals from scratch by hand can be really troublesome. If you think that it's not bad for your health that it's a little expensive, then this is what you get.

The price is high, but I think it's worth it. I ate pork cutlet, fried white meat, and grilled chicken thigh as one dish. For ramen, we have Banshu ramen and miso ramen, both of which I think are the most delicious in this area.

I had the eel bowl on recommendation. They will grill it after taking your order. The miso soup with ginger was also excellent. I will come again 😊
