職人食堂

If you get really hungry late at night and want to have a proper meal, the Artisan Eatery is a great choice. They offer a variety of Japanese donburi (rice bowls) and also have soup dumplings available. The dining space inside the restaurant is quite spacious, allowing you to sit down and enjoy your meal slowly.

The restaurant has many motivational slogans from the owner, and one that impressed me the most is: "You must eat to your fill!" If you’re not full, you can tell him. This really gives a warm feeling to those living alone outside, as if they are being cared for. Plus, the owner’s wife is very kind; after my delivery arrived, she directly offered me some red tea.

However, let's get back to evaluating the food. Regarding the chicken thigh donburi I ordered, the seasoning was fine, but I believe some details could be improved. For example, the chicken bone wasn’t cleaned well, and I almost got pricked by it. Additionally, the rice in the donburi was a bit too wet, making it somewhat mushy. Otherwise, given the portion size, I think the price is reasonable.

Next time, I would like to try their soup dumplings.
