Namegata, Ibaraki, Japan｜しをみ食堂

The food was great and the servings were huge! Perfect for mid-cycling stop!

Tastes good and good place for cyclists.

I arrived around 10:30 on a Sunday morning and my numbered ticket was number 11. The timing was good as there were only 2 cars left in the parking lot. I was able to enter the store as soon as it opened, so I waited outside for about 40 minutes. Most people seemed to be ordering cutlet curry or extra large eel, so I didn't think the turnover rate was that bad. I ordered three types: extra large eel, sashimi set meal, and takana fried rice. Unaju is large enough to protrude from the weight and has a big impact. The meat was fluffy, soft, and delicious, but since the seasoned eel was topped with sauce, the flavor was quite strong. Sashimi set meals are considered to be seasonal items at that time. The food I ate was warasa, and it was fresh, plump, and quite plentiful, and delicious. The amount of rice is large and it also comes with fried horse mackerel, so it's very satisfying. The mustard greens fried rice had a light taste that didn't interfere with the flavor of the mustard greens. The amount of fried rice is not that large and comes with fried horse mackerel, but it may not be enough. I was satisfied with both the price and the quantity, but I felt a lot of pressure as the people waiting outside were looking into the restaurant while I was eating. I think I'll try the cutlet curry next time. For seats, please request a tatami room lol
