Funabashi, Chiba, Japan｜Maru-yoshi

2022-05 A set meal restaurant located near the sports park in Natsumidai, Funabashi City. I think it's like a pub at night. I visited for the first time for lunch during Golden Week and a public holiday. The parking lot in front of the store is shared by the 4 stores on the premises, and there are about 30 spaces. There is plenty of space and it is convenient to access by car. I arrived just after it opened at 11am, but there was already one customer in front of me. There were about 3 groups of customers behind us, so it seems to be a very popular restaurant. When you enter the store, you will be greeted by a cheerful and cheerful customer service that says, "Welcome." As soon as you enter the store, there is a counter with 7 or 8 seats. Also, it has an interesting structure as it is divided into a room that is half underground and a room that is half upstairs. The two of us were guided to a table in the semi-basement and looked at the menu. The set menu consists of fried foods such as minced meat cutlet, fried horse mackerel, fried oysters, fried chicken, etc.A, B, C, D, E, F, and G sets each have a wide variety of side dishes to choose from. . I had previously read on the internet that Kotora's restaurant is famous for its minced meat cutlet, so I ordered the ``Set A Chicken Karaage + Menchi Cutlet'' for 968 yen (tax included). My wife ordered "E Set Fried Oysters + Menchikatsu 1078 yen (tax included)". First, a mixed cabbage salad. This is quite normal. Maybe it's for business use. Served with French dressing on the table. Next came each set meal. This is quite a volume. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the minced meat cutlet is large and heavy. The batter was a little hard and had a crunchy feel to it. The minced meat is hot and juicy, and there are plenty of onions in it, which is certainly delicious. The rice is normal size. I think people who eat a lot should have a large portion. Miso soup is full of vegetables. It also comes with a sesame mortar, just like a tonkatsu restaurant. The fried chicken had a garlic and ginger flavor, but it was rather light. Although it mainly focuses on fried foods, you can choose from a variety of combinations for around 1,000 yen, so I think this is a highly satisfying restaurant.

At night, it's a set restaurant at an izakaya. I came here for lunch. Menchikatsu seems to be a bite-sized mince if it is a menchikatsu-only lunch menu. This time, I ordered four menchikatsu with a normal serving of rice. Salad and miso soup can be refilled freely, and only salad can be refilled, which is just right for men. Special servings of rice are full of manga, so be careful when ordering. It tastes good! Maybe I made a mistake, but one tasted like cheese.

It was true that the shop had a reputation for its delicious mince cutlet! Every Friday is lunch only, and you can eat two mince cutlet set meals for 500 yen. Visited on Friday 4th February around 12:45pm. The parking lot was full and we waited for a while. It was a restaurant with a reputation for its delicious mince cutlet, so I ordered a set meal of 1070 yen for D lunch stewed beef tendon and mince cutlet. The person next to me asked for two additional menchikatsu.
