Ashikaga, Tochigi, Japan｜Arai

In search of delicious meat dishes. This time, I was told about a delicious "ginger grill" restaurant, and I visited there for the first time in September 2020. When we arrived at 12:00 when the store opened, there were already people waiting in front of the entrance. The lunch menu is written on a board outside. There is one table seat inside the store. 2 counter seats. 3 tatami seats. Although it is not very large, it does not feel oppressive and has an atmosphere where you can have a relaxing meal. I ordered the ginger grilled and sashimi set meal (980 yen). The food arrives in about 20 minutes. One set includes rice, miso soup (seaweed, radish, fried tofu), pickles, hiyayakko, sashimi, and grilled ginger. You can refill your rice once. Grilled with ginger, each piece of meat is thick and the sauce is delicious. This is the progress of rice. There are many types of sashimi, and I like that they have two soy sauce plates, one for wasabi and one for ginger. I'm also interested in the other lunch menu items, fried horse mackerel and sauce cutlet bowl. There are many interesting menus at night, so I want to come again. It was a feast.

At noon, you can eat a hearty lunch at a low price, so it seems to be always full. The amount of ginger grill is harsh! Even at night, there are set meals from around 1,200 yen, but the sashimi and fish dishes are also delicious. The photo shows the evening ginger-grilled set meal and the half sashimi platter.

I had sashimi and ginger grilled lunch. Very delicious and filling 🎵 I would like to repeat it again. Next time, I'll definitely try fried horse mackerel.
