Hitachiota, Ibaraki, Japan｜かつ丼と鰻の店 釜平(かまへい)

I searched for a restaurant on Google Maps and happened to find it, so I visited. As of today, I can't reach it if I go to the navigation according to Google Maps, so I think it's good to aim for a nearby coffee shop called Adzuma. There is a store parking lot across from the coffee shop and a store in the back. I visited around 12:30 on Saturday, but it was easy to enter the store because it was not crowded with a moderate number of customers. The menu is centered on deep-fried rice bowls, and the restaurant's recommendation was the sauce katsudon set meal, so I ordered that. It was just the right amount for me, but it might be a little too much in general, so the mini sauce katsudon set meal may be just right for people with small appetites, women and children. The sauce at this shop is light and when you take the first bite, you may wonder, "Is it rather salty?" ', but it was very delicious with an elegant taste that spreads a slight sweetness as you chew. Personally, I prefer a sauce with a slightly stronger sweetness to the sauce katsudon, but I felt that this sauce was also very delicious. The cutlet itself had just the right amount of fat and just the right thickness, and the part with the sauce was moist, and the part without the sauce was crispy and had a very good texture. The miso soup was also very good and delicious with a nostalgic taste of the old days. Pickles are also salty cucumber and sweet radish? It was just the right amount and taste to eat as a refresher. Salad was good. I would like to visit again when visiting the area.

I ate a mixed grilled rice set meal and a sauce katsudon set meal. I had a lot of rice and was full. We had children with us, but they treated us kindly.

Tender meat with umami, crispy batter, and addictive sweet sauce. We recommend the sauce katsudon, which has a flawless and perfect taste. I'm thankful that it's empty when I go on holidays, probably because the store's recognition is low, but I think it's a taste that makes me wonder why it's not a queue store. It is worth coming to eat even from afar.
