Takahagi, Ibaraki, Japan｜魚天坊

Good 👍

This was probably the only place I could find that was close to the IC where I could relax. There were no customers when I visited around 12:00. Considering that, the self-service tea and water desks were quite well set up, and I wondered if the service was excessive, but by 12:30, the tatami room was full. It seems to be used by a wide range of people, from locals to people using it for work. During lunch time, there seemed to be a wide selection of rice bowls for 900 yen to set meals for around 1,500 yen, and I chose the service tempura bowl. I thought it would probably be cheap, but there was no need to worry. Even though I asked for less rice, the portion was quite large, and I was very satisfied with the large, crispy toppings. The most important sauce is applied evenly, and at first glance it looks like it's going to be thick, but it's really delicious. The rice is not so-called low-cost chain rice, and the grains are solid. If it costs 900 yen, it's worth it!

The tempura was very delicious. It was a lot, so I had the rest as a souvenir.
