Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Ittokuan

First impression was great. Staff greeted us with a smile. The table is whole place looks clean and welcoming. Simple and elegant presentation of food. The soba was nice and firm with the soup having plenty of flavor. The catsudonburi was well seasoned and a bit sweet. Will be coming back again.

While traveling in a company car at noon, I saw the store's parking lot, which was extremely crowded even though it was in a residential area, and entered the store. I ordered a katsudon set, following a customer next door who seemed to be a regular customer. The soba noodles were good and delicious, but the katsudon was also very delicious. If I have a chance, I would like to order the tempura set.

This is a popular store that is hard to come by because it is full all year round and there are even cars waiting to park when I pass by the store at lunchtime on my way to work. I went for the first time last summer, prepared to line up, and have been hooked ever since. The menu has a wide variety, but I ordered the fried shrimp and soba noodles, which are popular by word of mouth, and they were so delicious that even people who used to eat soba would be impressed! The soba noodles have an exquisite aroma and texture, and are simply delicious. The fried shrimp is delicious and voluminous enough to justify the price. The fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and potato salad that come with it are delicious. The set Katsudon set is quite large, and the meat is so good that you wouldn't think it's a set, and it's not just seasoned with the usual salty flavor, but has been carefully prepared. The staff is very prompt and the service is impeccable. When you check out, you can get tenkasu (tempura kasu) divided into plastic bags placed next to the cash register for free, but the udon noodles I made at home, perhaps due to the high-quality oil used, turned out to be high-quality tanuki udon. It's delicious and the crowds are understandable. I would like to try new menus again in the future.
