Narita, Chiba, Japan｜Issunboh

What a lovely quaint little place. Food is affordably priced albeit for me personally I find the servings to the smaller side but I think most would be satisfied. Ambience of an old fashioned traditional diner coupled with the smell of cooking fills the nostrils when you enter. Well your clothes will smell after awhile but I think it just adds to the atmosphere. I had the Yaki-soba special which tasted delicious. A simple meal and a drink for less than ¥1000? Hard to beat.

We had an overnight layover in Narita so instead of going to the hotel restaurant we walked to this small shop serving okonomiyaki and teppanyaki. The restaurant is small and ran by one older gentleman. Despite the language barrier, he was so helpful with showing us how to cook the food. The food was also very delicious! We got yakisoba and 2 okonomiyaki, one was shrimp and the other was beef. I love that you're able to sauce and season it up to your liking! Overall, I'm glad we stopped by this shop and if you're in the area, I highly recommend it!

It would be a serious mistake to judge this book by its cover. Humble building a short walk from Ana Crowne Hotel. Dishes as little as $6 Australian (total for family of three very hungry people $40aud 8 different dishes plus desert). A one man show serving up delicious Japanese cuisine. High quality fresh ingredients and honestly he could almost charge three times as much and it would still be great value. I would highly recommend you try this before wasting money on any of the surrounding hotel buffets (which were all very average and 5 to 10 times the price per person).
