Sakai, Ibaraki, Japan｜ふくだや食堂

What a wonderful experience we had at this restaurant. The hostess and her husband, the cook made us feel right at home with lots of attention and conversation, but they did not overwhelm us. The food was very very good, basic classic and delicious. The prices are also very reasonable. I would go here again for sure, highly recommended. The whole experience reminds me of when I first came to Japan over 30 years ago and there were so many of these "Mom & Pop" run shops, which have sadly been replaced by convenience stores. Wonderful, kind lovely people.

Anyway, it was a cheap and delicious restaurant. I ordered ramen 400 yen and oyakodon 550 yen.　Even if you order 2 items, it costs less than 1,000 yen. ramen The soup is a delicious soup that makes you feel the soup stock firmly. The color is light for soy sauce ramen, but the salt content is solid and delicious. The noodles were also chewy and delicious. Also, the amount of noodles is quite large. Oyakodon It was breast meat, but it was soft and delicious. Overall, it was a gentle seasoning, and the rice was very delicious. We served two dishes: eggplant with miso sauce and boiled kombu seaweed. A dining room with a kind mother. The atmosphere and the food were great.

I came to eat lunch. I ordered the katsudon and ramen. Katsudon 600 yen Ramen 400 yen At the service of the proprietress, we also added tomato 🍅 fried chicken and simmered burdock. The katsudon is delicious and has a lot of ramen noodles. Noodles are probably 1.5 balls!? The atmosphere of the master and landlady was also very good. After I finished eating, I was happy that the proprietress said, "Thank you for eating so much."
