Kuki, Saitama, Japan｜Benten

it's one of my favourite stores. I don't like raw fish, but I've never had a bad smell at Benten, so I can eat it with confidence. The parking lot is full around 12:00, so it's best to go when the store opens so you can get in. The boiled fish and sashimi set meals are delicious, but my favorite is the nakaochidon and fries set meal. I highly recommend fried horse mackerel over fried squid. Even though it's mini size, it's fluffy and satisfying. I don't know if it's homemade, but the tartar sauce is also delicious. Be careful, as it is easy to mistake the sauce container on the table for a soy sauce container. Even though the soy sauce is clearly placed, for some reason I find myself reaching for the sauce container halfway through. is it only me… The store owner, Grandpa, and the other employees always have a smile on their faces and make you feel at ease. I know you are busy, but please take care of yourself and continue to serve us delicious fish dishes.

When we arrived around 12:00, the parking lot, which had about 8 cars, was full. I ordered the special sashimi platter set meal for ¥1,780. The miso soup had a good dashi stock and the sashimi was also very delicious. The rice is soft, probably because there are many elderly customers. It's not difficult to get in alone, and even in a wheelchair. (Although it's a bit small) Next time I'd like to come and eat fries.

I come from a town where people eat all their food. I found the best fried oyster set meal since the beginning of my life 😳 Although the oysters are extremely large, they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I felt that the miso soup was well taken, and it was very delicious, and I felt that the garnish and pickles were carefully selected. I would like to try other set meals as well.
