Tochio

prologue〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜~~
The shop this time is [Tochio Gokokuji].

1 minute walk from Gokokuji Station.
The shop is right next to Gokokuji Temple, and at first glance, I couldn't recognize it as a shop and almost passed by.

The time was around 13:00.
During the peak lunch time, the restaurant was full and there were counter seats and table seats, and I shared a table seat.

Were the people you shared the table with high school students? student in that year
The town Chinese lunch will become a big thing in the future, sir.

I ordered fried rice with meat and gyoza.
There are a wide variety of set menus and lunch menus, and everyone orders quite differently.
When I see year-end greetings from people who seem to be regulars, I get the feeling that this is a shop that is loved.

Fried rice and gyoza arrived soon.
A mountain of roasted pork.
This looks delicious.
Let's have it then.

★・Fried rice with meat ¥1100

First, take a bite of fried rice.
It's a classic fried rice that's moist and crispy, but it's really delicious.
Just the right amount of saltiness, and maybe a little rough? Perhaps because of the salt used in the dish, there is a rich and light salty taste that you won't get tired of. It’s been a long time since I last saw you! This fried rice is sure to please your taste.

Boom! Char siu with this.
This is also delicious.
The thick chashu pork may look dry, but it's extremely moist.
The flavor is just right, and if you pair it with fried rice, it's the best.

・Gyoza ¥500

The dumplings are made with chopped vegetables and have a fresh impression.
The taste is light and crunchy, so it's good with rice, but it seems to go well with beer. You can't help but want to pair beer with light-tasting gyoza.

The student I was sitting with was eating a set meal of stir-fried vegetables, and he seemed to really enjoy it.
I didn't really understand the meaning of the mysterious culture of buying young children food and watching them eat it when they become older men, but it was convincing enough to help me understand.
This makes me want to splurge.

I found a local Chinese restaurant near my workplace.
I don't usually eat lunch, but I'll come back if I want to fill my stomach and soul.
The fried rice was great.

Well then, thank you for the meal.
It was delicious.

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

Arrived at the store around 11:30.
The place is usually full after 12:00, so I went there early.
I love stir-fried levanilla, and on this day I ordered a set of half fried rice and ramen for 1,100 yen, and 6 servings of gyoza for 500 yen.
The fried rice was moist and delicious, and the ramen was simple but filling and delicious!
The gyoza has a chewy skin and the chive filling is the best.
They have a variety of menus so you won't get bored no matter when you go.
This is the town Chinese restaurant that represents Gokokuji Temple!

Next to Gokokuji Temple. I passed by without noticing.
The glass at the entrance is reflective and you won't know how crowded the store is until you open the door.
It's crowded at lunchtime, but if you time it right, the rotation is quick, so I was able to be seated within a few minutes this time.
Family run? The couple in the kitchen? Is your son on the floor? 3 people
The customer's dishes include meat fried rice, pork soup set meal, fried rice dumplings, and stir-fried levanilla. Next door is Hanchan Ramen. Without hesitation, I went for the Han-chan ramen.
The ramen is a light soy sauce chicken soup.
I like the nostalgic and familiar taste. The thin noodles are smooth and go down smoothly. The fried rice is fluffy and well seasoned, and the grilled pork is delicious, as I felt with the ramen.It goes well with the fried rice.
Last time, the stir-fried meat and vegetables was delicious with lots of crunchy vegetables and pork. The white rice is delicious!! ︎ My chopsticks progressed and I finished the meal in no time.
Next time, I'll try the large gyoza and meat fried rice.
The pork soup looked delicious too. It seemed like they were making it each time rather than ready-made, and it came out piping hot next to me.

I was confused about the udon shop next door and ended up here. Half fried rice ramen set 1100 yen. The taste is neither good nor bad. Ramen has an old-fashioned feel. The noodles are soft. When I was looking at my phone while eating, I felt a little sick when I saw a sign asking me to call out to me. Are there some customers who stay too long and eat late? He seemed to be particular about rice.

Taste…★4 (Charshu of meat fried rice is cold...I need some ideas on how to eat it)
Comfort of the store...★2 (Silent interior with a sense of tension...)

It's right near Gokokuji Temple, and I was able to get in at 12:00 on a Saturday without waiting.
Well, the inside of the store is small.
Only counter seats and 2 tables for 2 people. Seats will be divided for 3 or more people.
It would be best to go by yourself or with a group of two.

There was a sign saying ``Please refrain from talking to prevent coronavirus,'' so the store was silent.
Even though it's a local Chinese restaurant, it doesn't have a lively eating atmosphere. There is a sense of tension.
There are no tissues or towels either.

I ordered the popular meat fried rice. It came out right away.
I haven't waited 5 minutes. It was too fast and I laughed.
And, as the internet says, the char siu was cold. Fresh out of the fridge!
I couldn't stand it as it was, so I put the chashu into the piping hot soup and warmed it up before eating.

Yeah, you know it's bad manners, right?
But! Meat fat tastes really bad when it's cold! ?
Normally, the store would at least let it come to room temperature before serving it, right? !
I don't want you to blame me if you put it in soup and warm it up! It turned out delicious!
It was actually quite delicious when I heated it up and ate it!

Surprisingly, the portion is not that large, so anyone who can eat a regular bowl of tempura can eat it.

Most of the customers in the store are men.
If you're going alone, with two people, or with a family, it's best to only go with people who don't mind having separate seats in a quiet restaurant.

Thank you for the meal.
