A Showa-era mass dining establishment founded in 1979 in Kashiwa's Washinoya district. A strong Google Maps rating of 4.3 (514 reviews), and gained national fame as the setting for Episode 5 of TV drama 'Kodoku no Gourmet (Solitary Gourmet) Season 10.' The signature Negi-Reba (liver stir-fry with green onion) set at ¥830 features thick-cut liver with no off-odor, perfectly matched with generous green onions. The unchanged Showa-era atmosphere and owner Yamada-san's warm, welcoming service continue to captivate local regulars for 45+ years. Daily lunch queues; also popular as an izakaya in the evenings.

'I found out about it through Solitary Gourmet and visited for the first time, but it was packed with locals who had been regulars before the broadcast.' 'Liver stir-fry set at ¥830 with this quality barely exists in Reiwa-era Japan.' 'Yamada-san's service is so warm and human, it makes you want to come back.' 'A miraculous restaurant where the atmosphere of a Showa-era diner survives intact.'
