I rarely walk into these tiny Japanese restaurants as I'm always worried how they will react to a foreigner going inside... especially in a town where there are no tourists.
Upon entering the elderly waitress was friendly and immediately started chatting me up in Japanese with no hesitation. I asked for the daily special "higawari teishoku" but needed to choose from 3 types of fish... I am pretty bad at remembering fish names.
So I left it to the elderly chef... and he brought out this white meat fish. Nice!
Sumo on TV. There was a couple drinking shochu, a single man with a bottle of beer reading comics and 2 men in the back ordering quite a few dishes. Everyone seemed like regulars.
Man next to my counter seat reading comics.
You sure do get a generous amount of food for only 700 yen and they didn't ask for 8% consumption tax. The elderly couple in the kitchen and old lady waitress were just so sweet... I will be back to enjoy the next daily special.
UPDATE: The 2nd time I visited Kusaka-Tei the assistant chef was making these wonderful round hamburgers that were fresh and huge! I totally wanted to try that! But when I went back and ordered the burger lunch set the meat seemed like pre-packaged processed just microwave kind of supermarket meat. I was soooo disappointed... I think the best thing so far was the fish.
My little sister ordered the daily lunch special and it looked way better than the hamburger I got.
