Setouchi, Okayama, Japan｜Asahi

I made a reservation for lunch and visited. The parking lot was spacious, but 2/3 of the parking spaces were occupied, making me realize that this is a popular restaurant. The inside of the restaurant seemed to be mostly private rooms, and everything from the entrance to the seats we were shown to were private and reserved. The room is bright and equipped with blankets, and there is a kotatsu under the desk so you can put your feet down and sit. (It seems that there is no horigotatsu function) The store staff were all cheerful and pleasant people. Since I heard that there are people who don't have a lot of food, I chose Shokado Lunch A, which is only available on weekdays. I'm happy to be able to choose the amount of rice from large, medium or small without changing the price! Be careful and choose a medium amount. After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the food was served. It's a medium volume! The tempura was freshly fried and steaming. We looked at the beautifully arranged bowl of bite-sized side dishes and ate it. I got the impression that the seasoning was strong, but not too strong, and that the dashi soup was effective and brought out the flavor. Sinful side dishes that go well with rice. It might have been better to make it the size of a rice bowl. I also enjoyed the dessert of warabi mochi with red bean paste and a drink. Shokado Lunch B and C were also available, and they had more items than A. The price will go up, but considering the content and taste, it's a great deal. It's a popular restaurant, so it's best to make a reservation if you plan to visit for lunch. The Shokado lunch was delicious, so I took out the sea bream stew. It was so delicious that I wanted to keep it all to myself. I have a hard time having the urge to drink all the broth.

Due to the influence of the coronavirus, there are no daily set meals yet, but the standard set meals look beautiful and are satisfying. It's better to make a reservation. Beautiful bento boxes can also be purchased if reserved three days in advance.

Due to various family celebrations, I made a reservation for a weekday night. Both the quality and quantity of the food were very satisfying. Above all, I was very happy with the warm hospitality I received from the staff and the store.
