DAIMON: Ushi No Kura (1,000yen Yakiniku Lunch)... good stuff!

Met up with Mari for lunch at Daimon... whats there to eat in Daimon/Hamamatsucho?  

This was probably the best lunch I've had in the area.  1,000yen for Yakiniku lunch with Kalbi beef that was amazingly tender.

Lunch comes with Salad, small selection of veggies, rice, miso soup and drink.

I tried the Rossu and Kalbi Mix.

Mari went for the Kalbi... the quality of beef was excellent.

Chef in charge of the beef.  Weighing each piece.

Lunch Menu. 1,000yen plus 5% tax.

Overall excellent service, great food, very little yakiniku smoke and amazing value at 1,000yen.

DAIMON (Hamamatsu-cho): Hijiri-Tei... Home Style Cookin~.

Daimon...Daimon.. what's good to eat in Daimon.  If you are new to a town and don't know where to go then why not check out Japan's top foodie site Tabelog for a few hints.  We decided to hit up Hijiri-Tei for a nice fish lunch but there were a other great choices on the menu.

Lunch Menu.

Three small dishes and a bowl of rice come with your lunch selection.

Mari picked the Minced Chicken meat balls with Tofu and little quail eggs.

I looked around before making my choice and all the Salarymen were eating the "Menchi-Katsu" so I went for that.  Great crispy breading and very juicy...

Choice of Miso Soup or Natto Miso Soup... no Natto for me~.

The atmosphere was very old skool Japan... counter seating for about 5 shoulder to shoulder, tiny tables that seat from 2-4 people, lots of Sake along the wall and a little old guy doing all the cooking.  I'd classify the food as home cooking and both dishes were very good... I'll definitely go again.

Shop: Hijiri-Tei.
