Daigo, Ibaraki, Japan｜箕輪

Always a lovely place to grab a bite to eat. Service was quick and the environment was quaint.

I visited for the first time on the recommendation of a colleague. With a nostalgic Japanese-style exterior and a soba restaurant-like interior, we were able to enjoy a leisurely meal. I ordered the Minowa set meal and was very satisfied with both the taste and the volume. The mushroom mixed rice in particular had a lot of ingredients, but I finished it in no time. The owner responded that we had to wait a while because it was busy at noon. This touched my heart. The wait time is never long, and the owner is very kind, making it a store that people of all ages can visit. There were also many regulars. There was also a children's menu.

The two of us visited for the first time (we stopped by on the way back from going to Tsukimachi Falls). I ordered Minowa bento and cutlet curry. The Minowa bento box had green chili pepper tempura, and when I ate it without knowing what it was, it was extremely spicy and disgusting...I can't say it was delicious because it was too spicy, like a spicy curry. But overall it was delicious🐥✨. The cutlet in the katsu curry was quite oily and felt like it was going to make my stomach heavy, and the curry was quite salty. Before ordering, they gave me an iced coffee and a watermelon. Water came with the cutlet curry, but not with the Minowa bento (lol). I went there at 5pm, so it was empty and the restaurant was quite cozy.
