Himeji, Hyogo, Japan｜Eiyōken

Waited abt half an hour to 45mins (window shopping nearby) and it was worth the wait! No English menu so definitely a good sign! Google translated the hanging menu right in front of me and it was Yaki Buta and it was the highlight of my entire Japan trip. Perfectly grilled with just the right amount of meat to fat ratio while the caramelisation was sublime! It’s served with spring onions and mustard but I think for the first piece, best to have it on its own. Also ordered the sarada 👍, gyoza 👍👍👍 and a lime chu-hi, great on a warm day! I saw other diners order the karaage and it looked so tempting! But I was by myself and could not fit any more food down :( Service was kind and understanding even though I couldn’t speak Japanese 🙏

Amazing!

I was impressed by how fluffy the omelet was. Gyoza, thick skin, juicy and garlicky Deep-fried chicken is so simple but so delicious. It's packed with protein and light. Even if you order oolong tea with this, it will cost just 1000 yen. Great value for money. Standing style On Wednesday, several people were lined up before the store opened at 11:30am. After entering the store, it was almost full within 10 minutes.
