Maebashi, Gunma, Japan｜最後の５０セント

Really wild looking interior, but that’s part of the experience! The sukiyaki there isn’t only good, but even for just two people you can get a ton of food for a reasonable price. 入りづらいと思いますが、是非行ってみてください

The last 50 cents. I heard a rumor that there was an unusual sukiyaki restaurant in Chiyoda-cho, Maebashi, so I decided to give it a try. The exterior is quiet and has a calm, bar-like appearance. When I stepped inside wondering what was going on, I saw a staircase with a very suspicious atmosphere. It looks like the stairs where the mafia does business in Hong Kong movies. At this point I wanted to go home, but as I gingerly climbed the stairs, I finally arrived at the store's door. When you open the store door, you are greeted with a sight so bizarre that it leaves your mouth hanging open. A colorful and dazzling world spread out with many shining electric lights. Do I even take drugs? I even thought that for a moment. When I came back to my senses, there was an elderly man who appeared to be the owner of the store. As I was in this store, I was sure that the owner was very picky, so when I approached him, I was relieved to find that he was a very soft-spoken gentleman. As for the most important dishes, they weren't particularly colorful, and I was relieved that they had normal colors that stimulated my appetite. The taste is also quite delicious. I thought I would be able to choose between yakiniku and sukiyaki since it said yakiniku, but apparently they also serve sukiyaki after yakiniku. The meat and vegetables came out in abundance, and by the time I started eating the sukiyaki, I was already full. Still, it's cheap at 2000 yen per person. There is an extra charge for the appetizer, but it's cheap, and there are cute-looking tempura and appetizers, as well as nuts and chocolate. There are more than 10 types of soft drinks available, all you can drink for 400 yen. Since you can drink it yourself, when you can't hold a conversation anymore, you can sit down and say, ``I'll get some juice.'' This is truly deep maebashi. The best photo spot that has been around since the days when there was no Instagram. Besides, it's cheap, delicious, and the service is good. Even minus the glittering interior, there's no reason not to go again.

2020.9.12 Despite the restaurant's suspicious appearance, you can enjoy delicious sukiyaki. Even the standard version has quite a lot of meat, so be careful if you eat less! Eating sukiyaki in a completely chaotic interior is different and fun.
