Kobe, Hyogo, Japan｜Shibata

I entered the store as it just opened on my way home from a medical checkup. The place quickly filled up with older guys from the neighborhood. I ordered Suji Modern and Kirin without hesitation. The staff at the restaurant were also friendly and happy for lunch. I think I'll try the Champon menu next time.

It is often referred to as the ``birthplace of modern grilling,'' but it doesn't matter where it originated, it's simply delicious. I always get ``Udon Modern'' instead of the regular ``Soba Modern.'' The chewy texture of the udon is the best. As for the toppings, I prefer simple pork or tendon. Also, Apple is a must. It seems that there is only one company producing it now, but I hope that this cheap-tasting drink with a Showa-era flavor will remain forever.

A long-established local okonomiyaki restaurant. I came to eat after a long time. This is the birthplace of modern-yaki. The store is always lively and lively. I always eat modern-yaki, but the chewy dough and sweet sauce go well together, and it was delicious.
