What is this rice pile 🍚😱. The rice is the main thing 🤑. I stopped by before going to Arakawa Yuen! Even though it was only 11 AM, there were already several people waiting in front of the shop 😬. You can tell how popular it is! Glad I made a reservation in advance 🫢. Time to eat at Arakawa Yuen!! Stamina-yaki... even though it's pork full of fat... the seasoning is excellent 🤩. This really makes the rice go down easy 🤗. The Chicken Nanban meat was tough and a bit burnt, so it wasn't great 😑. The karaage topping was about what you'd expect for the price!? Anyway, the large amount of rice is their selling point, so it keeps you full for a long time 😅. I'll buy it again when I'm in the area! If you don't want to wait at the shop, definitely make a reservation in advance 🤗. [Visit date: June 2024]

I had the miso-marinated pork loin bento. At 600 yen, with free large portion and miso soup included, this is a very helpful shop in this day and age. The miso marinade is strong so it goes well with rice, so choosing the large portion was the right call. Honestly, considering the taste, portion, and price, this is a shop where the owner is really working hard 😊. Note: Since it's handmade, it takes a little time!

Located in a residential area, the building doesn't stand out; you wouldn't realize it's a bento shop unless you got close. Since there are few other eateries, it's recommended for those working around here during the day! The volume of rice is very satisfying♪ The rice portion in the photo is standard; I didn't order a large portion!! Apparently, large portions are free... I wonder how much that would be. I ordered the karaage bento (with miso soup). The rice texture was on the softer side. The karaage didn't have a crispy feel. My personal score is like this: Bad - 1.2.3.4.5.⑥.7.8.9.10 - Good. Personally, I like my rice a bit firmer! I want to try other bentos!

It seems there are some who badmouth it, but in this day and age, isn't a bento shop like this something to be grateful for? Many customers hear the reputation and come from all over, and there are quite a few repeaters. However, if the rice runs out, that's it, and it takes time, so you should just ask what can be made quickly! This couple probably has other businesses too? I hope they keep it going!

The large portion is exciting. Satisfied. The lid closes neatly. The side dishes are also much more voluminous than they look. The recommendation is the stamina-yaki. Delicious. 600 yen for this is a blessing. Plus, it comes with miso soup, 100 points perfect.
