Nagaokakyo, Kyoto, Japan｜Maruka Shokudo

Delicious food and friendly owners

It's a delicious restaurant with no mistakes. The Tonteki set meal, 200g for 900 yen (tax included), is a perfect match for the soft, lightly grilled pork and the ``special sauce'' that gives you a ``Japanese'' feel without relying on garlic. Dip the shredded cabbage in the sauce and eat it with the sauce for the best taste. Not enough cabbage The spicy tonteki 200g 1000 yen (tax included) has a punch of Japanese pepper. I'm numb. After numbness, I feel umami and sweetness. It's a repeat-definite deliciousness. Porkchap set meal 200g 1000yen (tax included) has a refreshing acidity of tomato, which is also addictive. For Tonteki, you can choose 300g or 400g (the last two pieces in the photo) for an additional charge. MARUKA curry can be selected from 3 to 4 types of roux. 1100 yen (tax included) for 2 kinds, 1300 yen (tax included) for 3 kinds. You can also change the rice from turmeric rice (Japanese rice) to basmati rice (Pakistani rice) (additional 100 yen). Basmati rice is less sticky and crunchy, and goes well with roux. The unique Lou, which is changed every 10 days, has a completely different personality. First comes the umami and sweetness of the ingredients, then the aroma of the spices, and finally the spiciness. A curry that lets you enjoy the aroma of spices rather than the direct spiciness. You can't adjust the spiciness. At first, you can taste the differences between each roux, and then at the end, you can mix all the roux together to create a different taste.The real pleasure of this curry is to taste it. The daily set meal costs 900 yen (tax included) (as of June 2020, the daily set meal is suspended), but depending on the day, even though it is a Western restaurant, there are times when it is all Japanese food. Japanese food is also delicious with just the right amount of seasoning that goes well with rice. As a general rule, the rice in the set meal is served in a large bowl for men and in a small bowl for women. From the counter seat, I felt like I had a glimpse of the secret of deliciousness as I watched the master's careful work. The last 2 photos are tonteki 400g.

One of the many famous stores in Nagaokakyo. I visited before renewing my license. When I arrived at the store, there was a line. Please note that there is a notebook in front of the store that is not a waiting board, so you will need to write your name on it. I didn't see anyone writing reviews so I put it off. It seems to be a popular local restaurant, so families and office workers come here for lunch, as well as foreigners as it is a popular restaurant. The rotation is slow, so you won't be able to come unless you have time. It took 27 minutes from lining up to entering the store. It took 22 minutes from the time I took my seat at the counter. You'll probably need to watch it for about an hour. What I ordered was Tonteki set meal 300g. 1200 yen. Just looking at the piles of pork loin meat makes me glad I came here. Although it took a relatively long time to cook, the meat was tender and the sinews were well-treated, making it easy to eat. The sauce is based on Worcestershire sauce with a strong hint of garlic. It has a slightly sweet aftertaste. Also, there is a lot of grated onion in it, making it similar to Chaliapin sauce. You can also eat shredded cabbage with this sauce. Koya tofu in a small bowl. Miso soup with a strong dashi stock also works well. It's great that you don't have to make a big serving of rice and there's plenty of it right from the start. It was a one-hour course lunch, but I was generally satisfied because I was able to eat such delicious food. I understand that they are lined up with good cost performance. It seems that the curry and pork chap that I'm interested in are also popular, so I'd like to visit again next time I have time.
