Sakaki, Nagano, Japan｜Machida Syokudo

The parking lot is a long, narrow gravel lot with no lot lines, so I don't know where to park, so how do I park? Since it was a motorcycle, I parked it as close as I could to the edge. Grandma welcomes us. ``There's a teacup, so please make your own.'' ``If it's dark, there's a string to turn on the light above.'' Calm and reassuring. What should I do? Before looking at the menu, he said, ``We also have lunch.'' ``It includes everything.'' He showed me today's lunch menu. ○Whale cutlet ○Curry ○Chijimi ○Hiyayakko ○Rice miso soup pickles 800 yen When I see a lunch menu like this, I can't help but order it🌋 “Then let’s have lunch!” ``One lunch'' in grandma's kitchen By the way, I didn't take off my shoes and I didn't even go up to the tatami room. ``There's a paper on the table, so write it down and give it to me.'' What, another order form after ordering? And by yourself? When I was fidgeting, he told me, ``Look, it's over there,'' and showed me where to keep my pens and paper. I guess I was upset so I wrote (lunch) as (ranuchi) 🐣 I corrected it and sent the order form to grandma? Hand over. I was nervous so I sat straight the whole time. I looked around while waiting. Showa. I felt a sense of déjà vu as I became an elementary school student brought by my father. The nostalgic interior of the store is generally retro brown or dark brown. Still, it feels clean for some reason 🐥 There is no trash or dust. However, the sudare on the right side of the front was still torn 🐿️ Even though I thought the restaurant was nice, I couldn't get my previous order out of my mind. ``Omachi dosama!'' Grandma served the meal. I've never seen lunch plates placed on larger plates, but what I've never seen before is probably the contents of the menu, which are decided on the spot. It's my first time eating whale cutlet, but it might just be a lunch made with things I already have today, like curry and chijimi. The whale was surprisingly soft and the rice went well. As it progressed too much, the portions of curry and rice became too much, so I ate the soupy curry. Miso soup has a lot of ingredients. There were mushrooms I didn't recognize. The way they cut green onions was something I don't see locally. Before we knew it, the store was full of customers. There were 3 people who appeared to be field workers and 4 people from a group of close housewives. When I was about to finish eating "Have you had enough food? Do you want me to eat?" asked Grandma. When I was an elementary school student, whenever I went to stay with my grandmother who was a farmer, she would always ask me, ``Have you had enough? Give me a bowl,'' without asking for a reply. I remembered the smell of the space at that time and felt very nostalgic. I ate the side dish and said, "No, it's okay. Thank you." When I looked at my grandma, she was a different grandma. I was nervous. Speaking of which, let's talk about accounting. Is it Grandma A who pays the bill? Grandma B, who was standing in front of the cash register, said to Grandma A, who was chatting with a customer, "It's time to pay!" Shout out to OA who is far away. I was wondering if the OB in front of the cash register should do the cash register, but I can't say. As I was waiting patiently, a man (the one making it) came out of the kitchen and said, ``It's 800 yen.'' Are you going to do it? Grandma A cannot write. Grandma B can't operate the cash register. Let's put it that way! By the way, my grandmother's family was a farmer. I finished work before it got dark, so I ate dinner early, at 5 o'clock. Dinner was usually between 6:30 and 7:00, so it was hell to get second helpings from grandma. There was a time when I tried to muster up the courage to say, “I’m full!”, but the result was Just say, “Eat.” It was a time when my normally kind grandma looked like a demon. However, I am grateful to Grandma AB for reminding me once again of my kind grandma. If it was closer, I would have loved to be a regular customer. Please live long! Also, the field workers listened carefully to the grandmother. He said he would forget the orders he asked for. Shouldn't grandma just write it down on a piece of paper when I hear the order? That's what I thought, but there must be something wrong. Satisfied, I went to the parking lot to find my bike wedged between two private cars. Can I get out of this bike? The way I stopped the car, I didn't even think about it. I backed up on a gravel road at 195km with full panniers in a narrow gap. Well, I'm glad I came anyway 💮 was delicious. Thank you for the meal! !

It took some time from ordering to being served, but the set meal was homey and hearty. It's delicious and I'm very satisfied. Daily mackerel set meal 800 yen. The place filled up quickly on Saturday afternoon.

I stopped by in front of Techno Sakaki Station. The staff was kind and made me feel very comfortable. I ordered an omelet rice, but the ramen was included in the set and I was very hungry! Thank you for the meal. Also, thank you to all the customers who talked to me 😊
