Toyohashi, Aichi, Japan｜Chaburaya

I was intrigued to visit this place because the owner was very responsive to the high ratings and reviews on Google Maps. I don't eat much in the morning, but I hear they have rice balls and miso soup, so I go there for that purpose. This popular restaurant is almost full. I'll have two rice balls for breakfast, and the coffee is a recommended German blend. After a short wait, the food arrived. For an additional 150 yen on the drink fee, this volume is a formidable morning meal. The miso soup, as rumored, is delicious with the dashi soup. The rice balls have a little bit of mysterious green powder sprinkled on them. This powder tastes amazing! It's not a strong taste, but a strong umami! delicious…… I never thought I could eat such delicious rice balls in the morning! The green powder had a strong taste, and I thought it didn't contain any ingredients, but it actually contained plum and kelp. The menu shows the attention to detail in the ingredients, and the lunch menu also looks delicious... I was able to get a refill of coffee for 200 yen, and I was also able to switch to another flavor of the blend, charcoal blend, so it felt like a good deal to be able to drink both. The atmosphere inside the store was good, and I thought it would be nice to have a morning meal. Thank you for the meal. Visited again today, lunch time. I will have the ``deep-fried young chicken lunch'' that matches the reply from the restaurant staff. It seems that many other customers are also eating fried chicken. The food arrives and it's a big fried chicken. And even though it's a coffee shop, it's more like a Chinese restaurant. It's similar to the Chinese restaurant that used to be in Iwata, and I used to go there almost once a week. The type that has a whitish coating and has a mysterious powder attached to it. It's so juicy and soft when you eat it! What the hell, this is delicious! It's even more delicious if you eat it with flour! My memories of this type of fried chicken have been overwritten by the softness and flavor that are a few steps above the quality of the Chinese restaurant I remember eating. Fried chicken is so delicious that I forget to eat rice. In addition to the miso soup, the three small side dishes are sweetly seasoned and delicious. Thank you for the meal! The people at this coffee shop are not ordinary people...

The exterior looks like a log house, and the interior is classical, creating a very relaxing space. You can see the promenade and river from the back of the restaurant, making it feel like you're eating in the forest. I ordered a roast beef bowl. The roast beef served on top of the rice is very tender and the sauce is exquisite. It looks like they use a lot of onions. The dashimaki egg that comes with it is fluffy! Plenty of miso soup too. The seasoning of boiled winter melon is also perfect. Lots of vegetables, nutritionally balanced ◎ The set comes with a drink and dessert. The day I went, it was mizuyokan. This costs 1,150 yen, which is quite a lot. Happy　price! ! This shop keeps horned owls and owls. You might even see them basking in the sun! If you would like to sit on the promenade side, please make a reservation before heading out.

Visited at noon on Sunday, July 16, 2023. I ordered Chaburaya's most popular roast beef bowl lunch for ¥1,150 (incl. tax). The oshibori is not the paper oshibori of today, so the impression of the shop will be improved just by itself. The roast beef bowl lunch comes with 2 kinds of side dishes, handmade miso soup, salad, drink, and dessert. It seems that the roast beef uses Nikuroha's carefully selected meat. The meat is chewy, soft and delicious. There is white rice under the roast beef. After dinner, I ordered an iced coffee.
