A very satisfying lunch for 1,000 yen♪
This is the restaurant where I was left BM
I got a little longer lunch time and went there!
It was after 1pm on a weekday, and the restaurant was still about 80% full.
Lunch was a 1,000 yen course.
You can choose an appetizer from an assortment, soup and salad.
I chose the assorted appetizer.
Grilled vegetables, quiche, ratatouille, vichyssoise, and much more!
I knew I was right to choose this appetizer!
And homemade bread!
It's so soft and chewy, and goes great with the main course!
And the main dish, there were 5 choices, but since my mouth was on gratin, I had the tomato cream gratin with kobashira and broccoli!
The tomato cream was a bit dry, but it soaked into the bread nicely and was delicious!
There was a lot of broccoli and kobira, so I was full!
Then we had tea and assorted desserts!
It's hard to believe that this is a 1,000 yen lunch, but it's a lot of sweets!
All of them are very satisfying. ♪
The main course seems to change weekly.
If it were a little closer to work, I would definitely return!
For 1,000 yen, this is substantial!
It was very popular during lunch time!
There is another restaurant next door, but it seems to have a different concept!
I would like to come here when I can get a longer lunch time!
Thank you for the food!

On this day, we headed to Tamura's for lunch, but time was running out...
I wanted to eat a warm hejang and warm up on a cold day~!
OK...let's go eat some good buckwheat noodles! Let's go eat some good soba noodles!
We went to Shoginan, which we hadn't been able to visit since lunch was reopened!
When we entered the restaurant, there was a nice aroma of buckwheat tea!
This buckwheat tea is so delicious that I always end up drinking a lot of it!
Lunch set menu
JYUWARI-SOBA, daily special appetizer, rolled egg and rice with baby sardines 900 yen
Jyuwari Soba, chicken tempura, pickles, and white rice 900 yen
Jyuwari Soba 900 yen
Lunch has changed like this.
Wow, it's so hard to decide which one to have!
But...I like dashimaki! They are especially delicious here!
Please give me a set of dashimaki!
Soba noodles are served hot!
It takes a little time to be served, but I'm totally willing to wait if I can have delicious food!
Arrival on a tray
The small bowls of the day were steamed chicken with ponzu sauce and gobo (burdock root) taitan,
The steamed chicken ponzu sauce was refreshing - the burdock root tadpole had a nice flavor with a hint of broth!
The dashimaki was cold, but it was delicious and the flavors blended well together!
But the freshly baked ones are the best!
The soba noodles are firm and tasty, and the soup stock makes me so happy!
Jako-meshi (rice with baby sardines) is also a perfect set meal with a hint of sansho (Japanese pepper)!
Lunch is served Monday through Saturday, so you can eat there on holidays too!
This is a local restaurant and I really recommend it!
If you are in need of a place to eat in Higashimikuni, please visit Shoginan!

I went upstairs for the first time.
Up the steep stairs, there is seating for 6 today, and downstairs!
The second floor is available for a hot pot course, if you make a reservation for 4 or 5 people!
Needless to say, we had a great time in private!
This time, I wanted to try the soba (buckwheat) hot pot, so I ordered the 4,000 yen course!
We toasted with sparkling wine!
First came the appetizers!
The members of the group said they wanted to sip sake with this appetizer...
Mozuku seaweed with kimchi, sesame paste tofu, octopus sashimi, bamboo shoots simmered white fish tempura, burdock roll
We were hungry, so we were very excited!
Each dish was carefully prepared and seasoned!
The octopus sashimi was so fresh and plump!
Good job!
And the Miyagi Zao pork hot pot!
The color of the broth was dark, so I wondered if it was spicy soy sauce. I thought it might be too spicy for soy sauce.
But the soup stock was a little sweet.
Everyone was drinking a lot of soup stock, so they came back frequently to add more!
Lots of vegetables!
Turnips, burdock root, shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, green onions, and more!
This is for 6 people, so there were 2 sets!
The vegetables go very well with this soup stock!
Zao Pork
This meat has a lot of fat!
There were 3 sets of this for 6 people!
I thought it would be greasy and sticky because it has so much fat.
But to my surprise, it was not greasy at all!
The broth was also not greasy at all, which was amazing!
The fact that it didn't turn white even after it cooled down shows that it is a good pig!
Dashimaki Tamago (rolled egg)
This was a big hit last time!
I didn't request it, but I'm so glad it was included!
My companion and I, who love "dashimaki tamago" (rolled egg), were talking about adding it to the menu!
They use Ran-O eggs from Oita Prefecture!
No wonder they are orange!
I personally love these eggs and go out of my way to buy them!
The ratio of the soup stock is really good!
We were offered a choice of beef tongue, tempura, or beef tongue stew, so we ordered two servings each!
The beef tongue is of course juicy and delicious, since the restaurant is located in Miyagi Prefecture!
And of course, it was served with pickled Chinese cabbage!
The tempura was fried crispy and you can tell they use clean oil!
Salt is the best for this kind of tempura!
The tongue stew is just as good as the one we had last time at a Western restaurant!
The tongue is tender and you can feel the depth of the wine!
The last dish is boiled soba noodles!
We put it in a pot and eat it with shabu shabu!
It's a pity we are so full!
My companion was eating it with salt and pepper instead of shabu shabu!
I tried to imitate her, and it was so delicious!
Soba noodles are better when they are cold!
Well, this is a very reasonable price for 4,000 yen per person, isn't it?
It was quite a lot even for 6 foodies. ・・・・
If I were to reflect on it next time, I would say that the amount of hot pot is too much for the number of people, so I should make it smaller.
The owner is very kind, so I think it would be a good idea to ask him about it!
I was also sad that the oysters from Matsushima were out of season!
I'll definitely eat them this winter! I'm going to eat them this winter!
It's very close to Higashimikuni station, so I highly recommend it!

Zao Kakuni and boiled egg!
You will be surprised at how tender they are!
They fell apart with the chopsticks!
So tender and delicious!
The boiled egg was also cut into pieces so that the three of us could share it!
The taste was not too sweet, but just the right amount of sweetness!
Dashimaki Tamago
I love dashimaki tamago!
And so does my companion!
This is the second time I had dashimaki tamago that day!
Why are dashimaki tamago at soba noodles restaurants so delicious?
They are so delicious!
Soft and fluffy, with a hint of dashi broth, it's really delicious!
They must be using the best eggs!
Beef tongue stew
The tongue is tender and tastes just like it would at a Western-style restaurant!
It's deep and smooth!
Ahhh, the tongue stew at a soba noodle restaurant was delicious!
And lastly, we had zaru soba (cold soba noodles)!
The buckwheat noodles were firm and tasty!
I don't know much about soba, but I think I like this soba the best!
Soba nabe (buckwheat hot pot) served here looks delicious, too, doesn't it?
I'll have to come back again with everyone!
2014,08
When I went to the restaurant I wanted for lunch, it was temporarily closed. ・・・・
It was a very hot day and I didn't feel like eating hot food...
Then, I thought my choices would be cold udon or cold pasta.
As I was wandering around on my bike, I saw a sign for soba noodles!
That's right! I had heard there was a new restaurant here!
It's hot, let's go in!
Shoginan Shoginan's main store is located on the Matsushima Coast of Miyagi Prefecture.
Located on the Matsushima coast of Miyagi Prefecture, Shoginan is a restaurant with a spectacular view of Matsushima and is situated on the site of the former inn of Kunosuke, where haiku poet Matsuo Basho stayed during his travels.
Of course, the main restaurant was damaged by the earthquake and reopened less than two months later.
Thank you very much for opening a branch in Higashimikuni.
Inside the restaurant, there is a counter and table seating.
I wonder if there is a second floor? I'm not sure about that.
I can only say that the first floor was very small and only had tables for two.
I don't think it is suitable for a large group, and I think you should inquire about it.
Lunch menu is mainly Soba
Jyuwari Soba Set Meal 1,000 yen
Kake-soba or mori-soba, rice cooked in a small bowl & pickles
Tenzaru soba with tempura for an additional 700 yen
Tempura soba (tempura soba): additional 700 yen

Meigetsu soba (hot) an additional 200 yen
Zaru soba: additional 50 yen
Seasonal Soba: additional 180 yen
Nishin soba 850 yen
All soba noodles are made with juwari (buckwheat) flour, and set menus are available for an additional charge.
I found only Nishin Soba on the menu... Did I overlook it?
After ordering, it took a little time, but we drank soba tea and waited!
This buckwheat tea tastes like buckwheat seeds and is quite delicious!
Soba-tea was also available for purchase!
Soba set meal! It was hot, so of course we had mori-soba!
Soba noodles, rice cooked with rice, chilled tofu, dried radish, eggplant with minced chicken, scented vegetables
The soba has a nice aroma and firmness.
The dipping sauce has a little bit of soy sauce, but it is slightly sweet.
It is quite tasty and I like it better than my neighbor Jinkuro's soba!
Jyuwari Soba is made without using any kind of glue, so you can enjoy the true flavor of the noodle.
This is very tasty!
The side dishes are all homemade, and of course the takikomi gohan is delicious!
The fact that it's a bit like "okowa" is also a nice touch!
I didn't take a picture of the soba-yu (buckwheat water), but it was smooth and easy to drink!
In the evening, you can enjoy Miyagi's famous beef tongue and dishes using Miyagi's specialties while drinking Miyagi's local sake!
I think this is a very nice restaurant!
It's a little hard to find, but I think it's a good place to hide out and enjoy the atmosphere!
I hope it will be in business here for a long time!

A nice kappou restaurant opened in our hometown!
This March, a kappo-ryou restaurant opened in Higashimikuni, our hometown!
There are not many restaurants in this genre, so I'm very happy!
It is located about 5 minutes down the stairs on the east side of the south ticket gate of Higashimikuni station.
It is also a 10-minute walk from Shin-Osaka Station, so it is in a good location!
The simple appearance of the restaurant makes it look like a kappo (Japanese cooking) or small restaurant! It looks like a kappo/small restaurant!
Inside the restaurant, there are counter seats as soon as you enter, and 3 tables (4 seats x 3) in the back.
It is a new restaurant, so you can use it for business entertainment or a date in a clean and calm space.
The four of us were seated at a table in the back.
There is a course menu, but this time we each ordered what we wanted! We decided to order a la carte!
Cheers with a glass of white wine!
Appetizer
Vinegared Kata cucumber, rock mozuku seaweed and oca hijiki with muscat
A refreshing, cool and summery dish!
It's interesting to match muscat with this!
They did a good job without fighting or blurring!
Assorted Sashimi
Served in two batches!
The first one was 4 kinds of sashimi: Izu sea bream, Sukumo bonito, Sukumo bluefin squid, and kuei (Japanese kelp)!
The four slices were served in four separate portions so that the four of us could share them easily!
The sea bream was grilled on the skin, so it had a wonderful savory and sweet flavor!
The squid was moist, sweet and very tasty!
Next, we were served Mie's rock oysters and Oma's sea urchins!
We split one half between us, but it was a large rock oyster, so we had plenty to go around!
It was so creamy and had no bad smell! Yum!
The sea urchin was also portioned out for each of us!
This kind of attentive service makes me very happy!
Today's Dashimaki Tamago
Whenever I find a dashimaki, I order it!
This is a dashimaki with grated corn!
It's covered with a sweet soba-tsuyu (buckwheat sauce) starchy sauce!
I thought it looked thick, but it wasn't at all! I thought it might be too thick, but it wasn't at all!
It was like a different kind of food, with a lingering taste of the ankake!
Summer Vegetable Salad
A very colorful dish!
It is a salad, but I used white asparagus in the soup dressing!
We divided it among four of us, so it was a little bit at a time.
It was so delicious that I think each person could have eaten enough of it!
I guess they carefully back the asparagus!
It was smooth and very tasty!
Deep-fried Kawachi duck thigh and vegetables
The duck was very juicy when fried!
I think this may be the first time it has been deep-fried!
The vegetables were not over-fried and the texture was preserved, so I enjoyed it!
Awaji onion and pike conger eel shabu shabu shabu!
The group next to us ordered it and it smelled so good!
We should order it too!
Let's share one between the two of us!
Awaji Island onions and hamo (hamo conger) shabushabu in broth!
When you start with the onion, the sweetness of the onion becomes the broth, and it's really delicious!
The broth itself is delicious, but it tastes even better!
The hamo (Japanese conger eel) is so plump, it makes you want to eat more!
Sauteed hamo clams with sake-soy sauce!
The crunchy texture of the clams and the mild sake steal makes me want to drink more sake!
I don't like salty type, so this was my favorite!
Crispy Grilled Sea Bream with Scales
Crispy grilled scales are so delicious!
I can't get enough of this texture!
While the outside is crispy and browned, the inside is soft and fluffy!
Ahhhh, it's the most delicious!
Earthen Pot Rice with Toyama Shrimp and Various Beans
The aroma of the white prawns is so good!
The various beans in this dish were so much fun to eat!
The rice, too, was made from a delicious rice I don't remember where, and it was delicious!
I was so happy while enjoying it!
It takes time, so order early!
Finally, we all enjoyed a little bit of rare sake, Otters, and Polished 20% and 30%!
It's so refreshing and easy to drink - I wonder if it's okay for someone like me to drink such a rare sake?
We drank a lot, ate a lot, and paid a little over 6,000 yen per person!
When I heard the bill, I was a bit surprised at the price for such a large meal!
I wonder if it was Higashimikuni price?
I'm so happy to have such a wonderful restaurant in my hometown!
