EBISU: MeshiDokoro Gotsuchi?... Cozy counter seating with very inexpensive teishoku (plate lunch) options! (Sony RX100)

This photo was taken after closing time so the menu`s are covered up by the shutter.

Only Japanese here.

600 yen Daily Special... It says in Japanese ありません meaning we don`t have any.

Quite the large kitchen.

When we initially walked in the chef was fairly busy and the ventilation here is kinda bad... you will definitely smell of smoke. But as the customers left it got much better near closing time.

700 yen bottle of Sapporo Red Star! My Fav. 

Seasoned tofu and slices of tender pork.

Friend ordered the potato salad.

Potato corokke and Aji-Fry.  Nice and crispy on the outside.

Closing time they took out all the bottled beers from the mini fridge and transferred into the walk in frig.

Little sink at the entrance to was your hands. FYI there is no toilet here so you`ll have to walk about 2 minutes to the local park to pee.

Nice little are exhibition by French artist Toscane next door... The color of hair blends into the background.

OKAYAMA: Xaymaca for some of that tasty Jamaican Jerk Chicken! Seasoned for 2 days! (Sony RX100M3)

Its sooo rare to spot Jamaican food in Japan and in Okayama there was just 1 place service Jerk Chicken... Had an amazing time at Jerk Man in Osaka where they grilled the pork in a barrel.

Walk down this tiny corridor for about 20 meters.

There it is under the blue moon.

Jamaican Green oshibori! Nice touch

Jerk Chicken with rice and peas 920 yen!

Red Strip a mighty 750 yen! 

The otoshi (automatic appetizer/table charge) is a cheese filled roll.. think he charged 300 yen for this. 

Very crispy and flavorful

Lone chef cooking up the Jerk Chicken.

He suggested I use the green jalapeno sauce.

Owner Chef Nagae-san....super cool.

Clever logo.

Can pay with Paypay, Merpay, AU Pay etc.

This is the first time I have ever tried Jerk Chicken made in a frying pan.  It was incredibly juicy.  He soaks the chicken in spice sauce for 2 days before service. 

Love the kidney beans. 

The sauce kind of reminded me of a curry spice.  Another recommended dish by a regular was the shrimp curry... maybe he is influenced by Indian dishes. 

Nice little Habanero kick! 

Several tables for 4 lining the wall.

Restroom was unusually spacious and extremely clean here! 

Now this Candle that oddly looks like Cousin Itt from the Adams Family has been burning for 18 years!  What a clever thing to do... Must be worth thousands. 

The candle was actually not lit when I entered but he lit it up the the photo. 

The chef was a nice quirky dude and I sat next to a regular who shared all her favorite restaurants in the area... Rather than checking google or tabelog rankings definitely ask a local. Will share on my next post!  After a few days I sure did get another craving!  But my time in Okayama was very limited so will visit another day!!
