Toride, Ibaraki, Japan｜Maruhachi Shokudo

This is a popular restaurant with the smell of the Showa era. It really looks like a roadside drive-in, which is rare these days. It's unthinkable now, but in the past, drivers would grab a drink, get in their truck or dump truck, and go back to work. In the past, dump trucks were parked in the parking lot, perhaps a transportation company? That's what I thought. There was an interesting curve to hit on a motorcycle near the agricultural cooperative's wedding venue, so I used Maruhachi here after finishing the ride with my local friends. Tokugawa-san is located along Route 6 when you want to feel luxurious. 😙 That was already 35 years ago. 😱 Quiet talk. Regardless of weekdays or holidays, there are quite a lot of customers at lunchtime, so it's easy to see why it's popular. This is a popular store with many customers of all ages and genders, including salespeople, professionals, families, lovers, and solo travelers. There are a lot of servings of rice, so if you order a smaller amount, you'll get a 50 yen discount. Some of the most popular items are the Nakaochi set meal, the chicken tempura set meal (like Oita's chicken) katsudon, the ginger grilled meal, the fried oyster set meal, and the chicken cutlet set meal. Recommendations are written on a whiteboard in front of the store. We use delicious rice grown locally in Toride! There is a sign displayed in the store saying, Quantity over quality! If that's the case, then it doesn't matter~ It's so delicious. . . I'm good at frying. The chicken cutlet and toriten are so soft that even people with sensitive teeth can eat them. This time I ordered chicken cutlet. The cabbage is fresh and ideally thin, so it goes perfectly with the chicken cutlet. 😆 Normally you would use sauce, but for me, soy sauce and garlic are a must for chicken cutlets. The soy sauce mayo is also delicious. Cold tofu was also served, but when I added it to the delicious miso soup with dashi to make tofu miso soup, the miso soup became even more delicious! 😃 The toilet is outside. When going to the restroom from inside the store, we recommend opening the door on the side of the stairs rather than going through the front entrance, as it will be closer. Thank you for the meal! I will visit you again if I have a chance. 😋 Before that, I like the ramen, fried rice, and gyoza at Hagitaro, which is located across No. 6, so that's my priority. . . Anyway, if you want to eat a set meal, come visit us! 😊

It is a drive-in style diner located in a peaceful atmosphere on the Joso side of Toride City. I had the Oita specialty chicken tempura set meal. The sliced ​​chicken breast is fried in crispy light tempura powder, and above all, the chicken is cooked perfectly and the chicken is very juicy. Personally, I like chicken tempura with a lighter texture than fried chicken. Around here, I think you can only get chicken heaven here. It's precious. The store is clean and the service is friendly.

It's quite crowded at lunchtime, but the parking lot is large so you can park safely. I ordered the katsudon (katsudon), and it was delicious with a mild flavor and low salt content. 【postscript】 I ordered the ceiling. It looks white, probably because it was cooked at a low temperature. The batter was fluffy, and the shrimp wasn't overly fried, giving it a plump texture that allowed you to enjoy the ingredients.
