Kisarazu, Chiba, Japan｜かもめ食堂

Friday, July 21, 2023 11:25 First visit for a business trip lunch. It's on the premises of a seafood processing company, so it's a little hard to find, but you can reach it by following Google Maps. Parking for about 8 cars on site. The shop has an atmosphere like a one-story hut, but the inside is surprisingly beautiful. There are only tables and about 7 seats. Although it was before noon on a weekday, it was almost full. There may be a wait. There are about 6 types of lunch menus. I ordered a large serving (free of charge) of the "Conger eel bowl" (1,300 yen including tax) that I was originally aiming for. Arrived in about 8 minutes. The bowl isn't that big, but the rice is spread all the way to the rim, and two large conger eel tempura sticking out of the bowl are enshrined. The visuals are perfect. Green asparagus is also served, which is also beautiful. Both taste and volume are perfect. Salad, small bowl, and pickles are also included at this price, which is a very high cost performance. The nearby "Yamayo" is famous, but I think this is a little-known spot. It seems that the boiled fish set meal that my companion ate was impressively delicious, so next time I'll have boiled fish. The area around Futtsu is famous for conger eels, but there are many expensive and ordinary places, so the Kisarazu area might be a better target. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to eat conger eel bowl, so I searched and found it. I went in the afternoon on a weekday. Really here? Is it a good place to go? That's what I thought, but then I saw a banner and understood. I had the conger eel bowl and the tempura bowl. Both were very delicious. The only thing that bothered me was that the white rice felt a little sticky. I thought it would be more delicious if it had a crisp texture. The person who came later said that he only needed one more person's worth of boiled conger eel. As I was told, depending on the situation, you may not be able to eat it.

I visited several times for lunch on weekdays. When I entered the restaurant just before noon, it was bustling with people who seemed to be locals, and gradually filled up with people coming from all over the place. In the afternoon, there was a steady stream of customers, including a few locals. The conger eel tempura bowl was bigger than the menu photo, and the taste and fried quality were good. I found the rice bowl soup to be a little spicy, but I think that's down to individual differences. The small bowls and pickles were okay, but the miso soup had a refreshing clam soup that was the best match for the spicy rice bowl soup. The parts of the tuna bowl served seem to vary depending on the day, but the red meat in the photo had a firm taste that was close to fatty tuna. The boiled conger eel set meal is recommended when you don't want something a little greasy. You can see the Aqua Line and Tokyo Bay from the back of the store, so it's perfect for a walk after dinner. The nearby restaurant ``Yamayo'' is said to be a branch of this restaurant.
