Tochigi, Japan｜Chōei-ken

This is a traditional Japanese-style Chinese restaurant located along the Tomoe River. The interior of the restaurant is small but clean, and the wait staff is very polite and attentive. You can see the Tomoha River from the window and feel the atmosphere of the place. The menu is not very large, but all of the dishes are delicious and generous in portions. This time, I ordered fried lebanila and dumplings. The chef seems to be a one-man operation, and it takes a little time for him to prepare the dishes when there are too many orders, but you should wait patiently because you can enjoy the delicious food. You can already tell the lebanilla stir-fry is delicious from its appearance. It contains a large amount of liver and the volume is still amazing. You can't feel the smell of the liver at all, and once you start eating it, you can't stop.👍 The gyoza is healthy with a lot of vegetables inside. The dumplings were grilled well and had a savory flavor.🥟✨ It was a very satisfying lunch that filled me up. Next time, I will try their recommended tantanmen.🍜

Very nice and cosy place with excellent food! The couple who runs the place are very kind as well. Highly recommended!

This is the restaurant that was used as the filming location for the movie "The Stop of Life". As it was filmed in the movie, you can enjoy your meal while watching the flow of the Uzuma River from inside the restaurant. It is famous as a location, but the taste is also very good and satisfying. I had the soy sauce ramen and half fried rice set, but I thought it was the best value for money because it was delicious and had a lot of volume. If you're not busy, I'd be happy to introduce you to Tochigi, the town of warehouses. There is a parking lot for 5 cars on the right hand side past the shop. Depending on the season, along the Uzuma River in this area, events such as carp streamers and light events (lighting lanterns and bamboo lanterns) are held, so it's nice to stop by while taking a walk.
