AI Spot Summary
The tendon is hearty and delicious, featuring anago (conger eel), shrimp, tempura, seaweed, shishito peppers, and a half-boiled egg. The rice is slightly soft.
In the small, Japanese-style shop, the air is stuffy and warm because tempura is being fried constantly. It has a sense of cleanliness.
The style is to purchase a meal ticket and line up. There are narrow seating arrangements, and black soybean tea and pickles are available for free unlimited refills. The service is thoughtful.
Reviews
Here’s the translation to English:
Oversized tempura rice bowl at Kanda Ogawacho Station! It's filling and delicious! The correct order is the "Matsu" tempura bowl, without miso soup. ¥1580. It has a high rating on Tabelog.
◆ Store Information & Overall Satisfaction ◆
《Cleanliness & Atmosphere》 78 points
On a weekend around noon, I waited 12 minutes to be the 6th in line at this small, traditional-style restaurant with 8 counter seats and about 3 tables. The restaurant is always frying tempura, so the air gets somewhat stuffy and warm.
《Service》 82 points
You buy a ticket and then line up. You are encouraged to fill in the seats, which makes it a bit cramped. Black soybean tea, burdock, and pickles are available for free and unlimited! There’s a nice service where if the soft-boiled egg tempura breaks, you get two instead.
《Food etc:》 80 points
This location is slightly more expensive than the main store, but considering you would wait 1 to 2 hours there, I think this place is better. The rice is a bit softer and wetter compared to the main location.
Based on all this, the overall rating is points. (All ratings are out of 100)
