Maebashi, Gunma, Japan｜Yutaka

The ingredients are fresh and generously used, and the umami is condensed in the dishes, making the rice go well. The Japanese set meal allows you to choose your favorite small bowl, so it's a nice menu for me who is greedy. The atmosphere of the shop was warm and it was a very satisfying lunch. It was a feast.

I visited for lunch. I arrived at 11:30 on a Sunday, right after the store opened, and there were already customers waiting, so there was a wait even when I left. The lunch set was 1,500 yen and included a choice of 2 items from sashimi, grilled fish, boiled fish, tempura, offal stew, etc., salad, and simmered dishes. There will be no drinks available during the Rose Festival held in nearby Shikishima Park. All dishes were delicious. I had sashimi and grilled fish! The grilled fish was fluffy, fatty and delicious. The sashimi shrimp had eggs and was plump. The stew had a strong flavor but was not salty and went well with the rice. The father next to me was making tempura and offal stew while reading the newspaper, and it looked delicious as if it were a mid-afternoon diner menu.

The quality of the lunch is high! It's insanely delicious. I'd like to go there someday, even though first-timers are not allowed.
