I went to a delicious yakitori restaurant near Kamishinjo Station 🐔.

The place is called Showa-ya, located right next to Kamishinjo Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line 🚃.

I arrived around 6 PM, and the restaurant was quite crowded with many customers✨.

The drinks I chose were:
Mango sour with soda🥭 - 429 yen
Draft beer🍺 - 528 yen
Oolong tea🐦‍⬛ - 418 yen

For the special potato salad🥔,
a soft boiled egg was placed on top of the cylindrical potato salad, which I broke and mixed in.
The potato itself was mild in flavor, and when eaten with the creamy yolk and mayonnaise, it was really delicious🥰.

For the rare chicken breast tempura🐔,
the sasami was wrapped in perilla leaves and deep-fried.
It was super fluffy and delicious, with a nice perilla flavor.
The salt, soy sauce, and mayonnaise were also tasty.

For the handmade tsukune with cheese🧀,
a large tsukune was topped with cheese and grilled.
The tsukune was soft, and the cheese was rich, smoky, and matched perfectly with the sauce🐔🧀.

it was a large piece that was aromatic and juicy, and very tasty🐔.

For Showa-ya’s proud oyakodon🐔🥚,
I also had pickled vegetables.
It had fluffy egg over chicken and egg yolk🥚🐔.
I broke the egg yolk to eat🥚.
The broth was well-absorbed,
the egg was fluffy and combined with the yolk for richness,
the chicken was tender and juicy,
and the onion was crunchy and incredibly delicious🐔.

For the Showa pudding🍮,
it was a rich pudding topped with plenty of caramel🍮.
It was so delicious that I would want to take some home if they sold it; it was really to my taste and incredibly good🍮.

Customers kept arriving, and some folks without reservations couldn’t get in, so I would recommend making a reservation‼️
It was that popular and a tasty restaurant🥰.

There were still menu items that caught my interest, so I definitely want to go back🥰.
