Toda, Saitama, Japan｜飲めるおにぎり屋 へいべい

I went to Heibei two times this past week. The service was friendly both times. Although the portion sizes are not huge, I could see the food was made with care. For example, the tunafish heart at the top of my onigiri was a nice touch. The karaage were all white meat (not processed or filled with other processed meat) and tasted homemade in a good way. I was surprised to find that they also served falafel. It's more popular in Tokyo now, but still pretty rare outside the city. I see a lot of negative reviews about price, comparing Heibei to a typical department store onigiri shop, but this is not a business set up to make bulk onigiri sales for profit, it is a restaurant. And for the experience of going to a nice, relaxed café with inside or terrace seating, I don't think 250 yen is too much to pay. I would definitely recommend it as a modern and chill place to catch up with a friend, to people watch at the station, or for a change of pace when working from home. Heibei is a welcome and needed addition to the Toda-Warabi area. I will be visiting again.

in my youth "You'll be an adult when you can enjoy sake at a soba restaurant." What a thought. No, it's not. the new era "Drink at the rice ball shop!" It is. With the east exit of Toda Koen Station on the JR Saikyo Line behind you, go a little further and you will find us at the corner of the first traffic light. "heavy" This is a rice ball specialty store. Stylish store layout. Clean restrooms (very important). There is a wide variety of carefully selected alcoholic beverages. Reasonably priced and not too large snacks that are very helpful for drinking alone. It might be nice to have a beer on the terrace on a cool day. At first, I went in for sake, but it's a rice ball specialty store, so I'll ask for rice balls! It's the best if you ask. Excellent grip. Seaweed is also good. If you eat rice balls with seaweed, you'll get bloated and beloberomien, won't you? That's not it! Seaweed that is crisp and fragrant all the time. And then, what I want you to eat at Heibei is pork soup! ! It's so delicious. I slurped the juice with the rice ball. I will drink alcohol with the remaining ingredients. There are people who write that it is expensive in other people's posts, but is it expensive? I think this price is appropriate for this quality, and even convenience store rice balls are around 200 yen, right? Did the people who criticize you eat it? Properly! Freshly made fluffy rice balls! ! Since I ate rice balls here, I haven't touched convenience store rice balls. so good ◎ Homemade syrup drink was also very delicious. It's always a highball, but I want to drink it again. I've posted a lot of pictures, so please feel the charm of Heibei to the fullest!

I've been interested in it for a long time, so I went with my friends after work! The selection of rice ball ingredients and side dishes is good⭐︎The wide variety of side dishes, from Instagram-worthy side dishes that girls like to side dishes that go well with alcohol, was quite a problem (≧∇≦) Among them, I liked oden! Shikoku-style kelp and dried sardine soup looks light, but when you eat it, it's surprisingly rich! Oden on the terrace at this time of year has become more delicious ♡ The owner and staff took good care of me, and I had a good time with a homey feeling. Next time I would like to go to lunch!
