Mito, Ibaraki, Japan｜鳥半

This is a shop run by a kind owner all by himself. The seating consists of several counter seats and tatami-style seating with three large tables. I ordered roast chicken as a set meal. The owner asked me if I should put in plenty of garlic. question of. I immediately responded by asking for plenty of it. Cooking will begin immediately and a fragrant smell will begin to waft out. Soon after, the main roast chicken arrived with more silver plates. About half of the plate was filled with salad, and the roasted chicken thigh was topped with roasted onions, carrots, and garlic. The chicken thighs are very juicy and tender. The charring is also fragrant and the best. The rice and miso soup are absolutely delicious! The volume was good and I was very satisfied.

■2022/08 visit This is a restaurant that mainly serves chicken dishes. I had been curious about it for a while, so I stopped by right after it opened on Sunday. There is a parking lot for one car a little away (it's hard to find, so check with the owner), and you can park in front of the store as long as it's within the white line. Today, I ordered ``Oyakodon'' (800 yen), ``Roast Chicken'' (1200 yen), and rice miso soup (200 yen). *Roast chicken is sold separately. When ordering roast chicken, you are asked for the amount of garlic, so I asked for more. However, it didn't have that much garlic taste, so I don't think it would be a problem to order a large amount. I also asked for more rice (large servings are free). The elderly owner is working alone, so it takes a while for the food to be served. On the way, I saw a large flame in the kitchen, probably because roast chicken was being cooked. Quite exciting. Next, I want to capture the decisive moment. Since we were seated in a tatami room, I actively helped with the serving of the food. We're probably both happier that way. Both oyakodon and roast chicken are quite filling. The roast chicken in particular has a large piece of meat and plenty of vegetables. Since there are a lot of vegetables, a regular serving of rice is enough. Both flavors were delicious. However, the roast chicken didn't have much of a garlic taste, considering what I was asked for, so I think it would have been nice if it had a little more of a strong taste. Next time I would like to come and eat the chicken cutlet.

This was my first visit as it was recommended by a friend. I heard that Oyakodon is delicious, so my son ordered Oyakodon, and my husband and I ordered chicken cutlet and roast chicken. For meals that are not listed as set meals, rice is included for 200 yen. If you order rice, you will also get miso soup. The chicken cutlet is not fried and is topped with a delicious demi-glace sauce, and comes with a salad with homemade dressing for a filling meal. When ordering the roast chicken, I was asked, ``Do you want it with lots of garlic?'' I didn't understand, so I asked for less, but I'm sure the regulars order it with lots of garlic. It has a rich taste and the volume is amazing! My son finished the oyakodon bowl in no time and said it was delicious as the flavor of the soup soaked into the eggs. The owner asked me many times, ``Are you full?'' ``Would you like some food?'' Even though he was elderly, he worked efficiently by himself. It's a really delicious restaurant.
