Joetsu, Niigata, Japan｜冨塚食堂

Considering it's a restaurant, the menu is surprisingly small. That was my first impression, but the taste of everything was A-grade, B-grade gourmet food, so I didn't care about that. The curry's spicy kick is perfect for adults. Is the fried chicken topping actually breast meat? However, it has a soft finish and you can see that a lot of effort went into it. Pork ball bowl is also seasoned with salt and plum, which is good for giving to children. And best of all, the rice is delicious. There aren't that many seats inside, but it has a cozy atmosphere whether you're alone or with children.

The rice is delicious with freshly polished rice! There are side dishes and bowl menus that go well with rice, as well as a la carte menus, so you can go out for drinks at night! It's very crowded at lunch time, so if you want to eat slowly, I recommend dinner time!

There used to be a set meal shop here that used to sell pork cutlets, etc., and I used it as it was, but before I knew it, the shop closed. Since then, I felt a little disappointed every time I passed the national highway, but one day I saw a lot of cars parked in the parking lot, so I was curious, so I passed in front of the store and a new dining room opened. Was. A phalaenopsis orchid commemorating the opening of the store is placed at the entrance of the store, which is rather narrow. I always eat alone, so I sit at the familiar counter seat by the window and pick up the homemade menu. Roast pork, jumbo shumai, and a set meal menu with a good feeling of all are listed with photos. In addition, the set meal has a little PR, which complements the information that is lacking in the low-resolution photos, and somehow conveys the personality of the store staff. The difference from the previous store is that it seems to be open as an izakaya at night, and cups of various brands of sake occupy one side of the wall as an interior. I casually thought that the customers of the nearby business hotel would have no trouble finding a place to eat. Since then, I've been using this cafeteria from time to time. I think I ordered a variety of things other than the side, such as a limited amount of pork chops and a standard set meal. The soup that accompanies the set meal may be bonito soup stock, or the clear soup containing gluten with a strong fish aroma goes well with meaty dishes. I ate zangi for the first time at this restaurant, but I got the impression that it tasted more like fritters than fried chicken. I feel a little unsatisfactory with the seasoning, so I want some mayonnaise. If you add a large portion of rice to the pork bowl, the volume will be unbelievable for the price, so you need to be a little prepared. Jumbo Shumai is delicious, but if there are options with different tastes, it seems that you will be able to enjoy a more satisfying meal. The quality of the roast pork bowl is quite satisfying, but it makes you want to lightly sear the surface. The pork chop set meal is served in an iron frying pan, so when the hot pork and tomato sauce are entwined, the acidity really stands out and the rice goes well. The curry and rice that bears the restaurant's name goes well with carefully selected chicken cutlets, spicy curry roux, and curry-flavored mashed potatoes. Sides vary, but I often order the cheap and generous shredded cabbage. It is recommended because it can be picked up with chopsticks and carried to your mouth without falling apart. There is basically only one store clerk in charge of the floor, so it might be helpful to bring the tray to the return shelf next to the cash register when it's crowded.
