Yamagata, Gifu, Japan｜松月

If you want to eat meat in Takatomi, this is a popular restaurant. The signboard says "shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and steak" and the atmosphere of the elegant building gives the impression of a rather expensive restaurant, but the large portions and very reasonable lunches are popular. Lunch time service is 900 yen (as of July 2023) There are various set meals and a set meal of the day that you can choose from 3 types of combinations. Daily set meal A Fried chicken + ginger It's so delicious! The fried chicken is crispy and fragrant, with just the right amount of Japanese-style seasoning. The inside is juicy and tender, full of the umami and sweetness of the chicken thigh. I am happy that it is cut so that it is easy to eat. It becomes a side dish of messed up rice Ginger-yaki is stir-fried with plenty of small pieces of meat, onions, carrots, etc., with a strong seasoning. It is moderately oily and full of the umami and sweetness of the meat. It becomes a side dish of messed up rice The rice will run out quickly, but you can refill the rice and miso soup for peace of mind. I am really happy with the service However, never leave a large portion or refills uneaten. It's a waste The interior of the restaurant is mainly tatami mat seats, but there is also a corner with table seats on the left side of the entrance. The parking lot is not only on the premises of the store, but there is also a large second parking lot, so it's okay.

There is a super-large dining room called "Minoya Shokudo" nearby, but since I wasn't that hungry today, I chose Mr. Matsugetsu here. Having said that, the volume is solid. Because it opens at 11:00, the parking lot is almost full at 11:30. At 12:00, I was on my second lap. Lunch time is quite crowded, but the number of seats is large and the customer base is mainly male office workers, so the turnover is fast. Most of the customers order the set meal of the day. There are 3 types from A to C, which are a combination of fried chicken, ginger grill, and loin cutlet. Since rice and miso soup are free refills, I ended up eating too much... (laughs) The customer service was managed by Mr. Okami alone, but he moved around quickly and was very considerate. It feels good to see it. There are 13 parking lots.

I stopped by for lunch, and I was able to feed my infant baby food in the tatami room, and I was very grateful for the hostess's customer service and consideration. Lunch is 800 yen (tax included) and is delicious and voluminous, with free refills of rice and miso soup, and comes with coffee or ice cream after your meal. There are various lunch menus, so I'd like to go again!
