Was ist Cafeteria?: Cafeterias offer a straightforward, self-directed dining experience centered on choice and speed. Diners move along a line with a tray, selecting from stations that might include hot entrées, soups, salads, and desserts, with beverages dispensed from fountains or urns. Menus typically feature comforting staples such as roasted meats, grilled items, pasta, rice plates, and hearty sides, alongside lighter options like salad bars and fruit. Some venues incorporate made-to-order counters—an omelet grill in the morning, a deli or stir-fry station at lunch—adding a fresh, cooked-to-order element. Seating is generally communal, encouraging a relaxed, come-and-go rhythm suited to workplaces, campuses, and public facilities. Rotating offerings and seasonal specials help keep variety in circulation, while clear signage and tray service streamline the flow. Whether you prefer a quick bowl of soup, a composed plate, or a custom combination from different counters, the format invites you to build a meal to your taste.

Well, the restaurant I'm going to introduce this time is
Anyway, it's a bad store!
What's so bad is, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article
The best restaurant in Namba Parks!
It is a place where you can eat rice made by the man who was involved in making the rice for Zojirushi Shokudo!
In other words, when they were developing their high-end rice cookers, they studied how to cook rice with the so called rice cooking hermit here!
By the way, the person called the rice cooking hermit is.
Mr. Meng Murashima.
who is 87 years old and still active.
Professional chefs visit his restaurant for his food, and he has appeared on TV and other media.
What's even more amazing is that his reputation has exploded in China
and he has even been invited by the Chinese government😅.
The hermit, who is never short of topics
He is not interested in cooking, but only in cooking.
He uses Koshihikari and Sasanishiki rice alone or blended together.
He chooses the rice by comparing the differences in taste and characteristics depending on the region and year of production.
The most important thing to consider is how to cook the rice.
The rice is cooked in a homemade kamado and a perfectly matched pot for about 20 minutes, and just before it is finished, the rice is cooked over high heat to remove the water.
After steaming the rice for 20 minutes, the water and cooking method are further fine-tuned according to the temperature and the condition of the rice.
The rice is kept in a state of total concentration until it is finally transferred to the last serving dish.
And I thought I felt like a pro when I looked into it.
It seems they are closed during the summer months of June to August.
The reason for this, according to Mr. Murashima, is that "during the summer, the water temperature rises, which affects the quality of the cooked rice.
His technique and beliefs have been called beyond that of a master and into the realm of a hermit.
Recently, he has been teaching rice cooking techniques in China to further expand his field of activity.
Incidentally, this restaurant uses more than 30 kilograms of rice a day.
How amazing is that?
The average Japanese person eats just over 56 kg of rice per person per year!
That means that in two days, we already use enough rice for one person for the year!
For such reputed rice and side dishes
500 people visit the restaurant every day 😆.
Here is a description of the restaurant
When you enter, to the left, there are many side dishes on the table, and you can take what you like from there.
Then, at the end of the meal, you go to get rice and soup.
Finally, I took the slip and paid the bill.
The side dishes seem to change from time to time.
Tonkatsu, fish, tempura, etc.
They have a wide variety of side dishes that are popular among men and women of all ages.
Among them, the fried egg and teriyaki amberjack that I had this time
They seem to be the signature dishes of the restaurant.
They were really good 😊.
I can't write about the taste due to the word limit.
I want to tell you how great the restaurant is, rather than what I thought of it 👍
