This 57-year-old local restaurant gives you that nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere that feels simple, authentic, and full of character. A place where locals casually enjoy comforting Japanese western-style meals without anything fancy — just honest good food. 🇯🇵 What surprised us most was how reasonable the lunch sets are — less than ¥1000 and actually filling. If you’re not picky and simply want to experience authentic local everyday food culture in Tokyo, this place is definitely worth trying. 🙌 Affordable, nostalgic, and very local — the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like you discovered a small piece of old Tokyo.

Sadly I cannot speak Japanese but I was delighted to have found this store. The owner helped us with the menu, food was prepared in front of our eyes and the demiglace sauce was very good. The value for money you get is very very good. 730¥ for the main menu which will be enough to make you full. Taste was very good aswell. Also the service was very attentive and our glasses were refilled immediately when they were empty. Can only recommend 10/10

Very good and a very fun owner. I enjoyed my conversations with him! I will be back

The pork shogayaki was delicious. The owner is kind and kept giving me extra sweet potatoes 🤭 The prices are really affordable.

This is my 2nd time here. My husband has routinely came here since 40 years ago. It used to have a few more outlets nearby, but as time went by, this is the only one left. Counter seating type surrounding the small but functional kitchen. You pay and select the menu from the ticket vending machine and pass the ticket to the chef. The signature dish is the beef patty with different selections of side that make up the menu combination. To be honest, the beef patty tasted 'cheap', but somehow weirdly delicious. Once you had a bite on, it's strangely addictive. At least that is how I felt about it. Whichever menu you have selected, it comes with a sunny side up egg, corn kernels, seasoned spaghetti, rice and miso soup. Not all of the menus are served on the hot iron plate. This is one of the eateries that have survived competitive Koenji for many years. It's not trendy or instagrammable, however it has a nostalgic Showa era feel.
