Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜Takeshi Restaurant

Very nice atmosphere - homely and authentic The staff are very kind and tries to explain everything about the menu although their English is limited. Very nice people! The food is very delicious and high quality comparing to the price. The karage chicken was extraordinary- soft meat, crispy, not filled with oil. The shutoro set is also nice - very fresh but we think it could be more fatty. Overall, an amazing experience, totally recommend for everyone.

Great value for the price. After a very short waiting, staff brought us our meal. Tonkatsu with rice, pickles and miso soup. All parts of meal were delicious. Meat fresh and tasty, in my opinion better than more expensive versions in bigger cities. Staff was quick and polite.

I was supposed to come to eat a hearty deep-fried dish, but I chose the tuna sashimi set meal on the menu. The eel on rice is also a concern, but the quality of the fish dishes can be used to gauge the popularity of the restaurant. If it's a bad restaurant, the tuna will be served in sherbet form. And what appeared in front of me was a beautiful piece of tuna sashimi that had been carved with sharp horns. This "Takeshi" person is not an ordinary person. There are only restaurants in Tokyo or fishing ports that can always provide such delicious tuna.
