I usually go once a week before or after my night shift. I've always been able to get refills of rice, cabbage, and soup, but unfortunately I don't get refills these days because my appetite has gotten thinner, but I'm always very satisfied. The ladies' fried eggplant is oily, probably because the eggplant is thin, so I think it would be better if it was a little thicker so you could enjoy the flavor of the eggplant. Fried oysters are delicious these days.

Wako rice for lunch is worth it (^^) For 980 yen, you can eat rice, cabbage, and miso soup as much as you want, so the cost performance is better than Ootoya. The finish of the roast cutlet is also different from that of takeout, and when you bite into it with your front teeth, the delicious taste spreads in your mouth.
