Hokuto, Yamanashi, Japan｜山城屋

of the common people

The volume, the number of small bowls, the taste, everything is a very appreciated shop. From fried chicken to miso ramen and cold Chinese noodles, the menu is abundant and all are delicious. There are about 5 cars parked in front of the shop, but it is always busy during lunchtime, so we recommend going when the shop opens.

I drove from Kobuchizawa and searched for delicious restaurants along the way. Most of the tables are filled mainly by local people and it is reasonably prosperous. Looking at the menu on the wall as well as the menu on the table, I decided to make a set meal of grilled pork marinated in miso. The price was cheap at 1000 yen, and I thought it would be enough to fill my stomach, but it came with two small bowls, pickled vegetables, miso soup with lots of ingredients, a good amount of rice, and the main dish meat was about the size of two normal tonkatsu. It was a set meal. Of course, the taste is also excellent. Excess miso is removed and you don't take too much salt, and above all, you can eat a lot of vegetables. I am truly grateful for such a conscientious set meal. The croquettes of the croquette set meal looked delicious, so I definitely want to repeat it.
