Tokamachi, Niigata, Japan｜御食事処 太助

Friendly staffs and absolutely good food.

The clerk (female) is refreshing and leaves a good impression. When I asked for chilled noodles, she said, "I think it will take a while, but is that okay?" I clicked OK and waited, but it didn't take long at all. After finishing my cold drink, I was about to ask for a refill, but he came before I could ask. Very attentive too. I would like to do it for lunch and holidays as well.

Both chicken set meal 960 yen and draft beer 520 yen included tax. This restaurant has a basic menu of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine, and is a so-called local all-purpose dining room. increase. Toritang, that is, fried chicken, is the batter not wheat flour but potato starch? It's thin and light, yet has a firm and crunchy texture. The meat is soft and doesn't feel greasy, and it's light even though it's supposed to be deep-fried. This is the first time I have had fried chicken that is so crispy. The amount of salt is also good. At first it was a little light, but when I started thinking about adding some flavor, the saltiness was just right. You can have rice without relying on the mayonnaise that comes with it. The garnish is boiled pumpkin and pickled eggplant. It's good to have a certain amount of volume, not just an accessory. Miso soup with lots of ingredients, of course white miso. The glossy rice was Koshihikari (I think it was). I'm deeply moved by the typical situation where I'm glad I'm Japanese. When I ordered draft beer, the boiled shellfish that came with it was not a service item, but it was delicious enough to convince me that it was 300 yen for the appetizer. It is a good shop. Unfortunately it's a little far from my house. I'd like it to be close to me, even if it's only a few hundred kilometers away, but... it's impossible. Even so, I'm really envious of towns like Gujo Hachiman, Tokamachi, and Hirosaki, which have down-to-earth menus and delicious, reasonably priced restaurants.
