The interior of the old folk house and the scenery are outstanding!A loud TV in the corner, miscellaneous things, and the old man's yelling and loud noises coming from the kitchen spoil the whole atmosphere. By the way, the TV is so loud that when the old woman in the store opens her hand, she brings a chair right in front of her and sits down to watch it, so the customers can't watch it.It's reasonably priced and filling, but the best thing I ate was the yakiniku sauce, pickles, and soup.I think it was better in the past when there were employees, but back then you had to line up to get in.

Anyway, there's a lot of it. I think this is the amount that would satisfy a typical adult male. Not only the quantity but also the taste is good. I think the price is quite cheap for the taste and quantity.I'm not sure if the seating is in a real old folk house or in the style of an old folk house, but it's a sunken kotatsu-style seat with a Japanese feel, and there are only four tables for six people.It seems that there is only one person in the kitchen and one person in the hall, so the rotation is not very good, so it is better to take the waiting time into consideration. However, the response time is quick for two people. Basically, you won't be shown to a seat, so you just look inside and if there's a seat available, you can go in on your own. The customers who are already here are aware of this and don't linger unnecessarily.

The construction of the building is amazing!There are four large single-board tables with a high ceiling that looks like a converted storehouse.Anyway, the atmosphere is nice.The menu is small, but the rice comes with free refills, so it's filling and delicious.It seems like it's run by an elderly couple (?), so if you go with a relaxed attitude and don't rush, you'll definitely be satisfied.That being said, the food comes out pretty quickly so you don't have to wait too long.

I went to Aokitei for lunch.I ordered the yakiniku set menu.The inside of the restaurant had a Ujitawara-like atmosphere, but the rice was smelly and not very tasty.

Delicious, voluminous, and cost-effective ◎I ate it in large quantities and finished it immediately.Let's go until we conquer all the menus.It seems to be run by an elderly couple (probably), so I don't recommend it to people who are concerned about things like the slowness of the food being served or the order in which the order is taken.If you have the time and heart, please go ahead (this is important).In particular, the lady seems to be in charge of ordering, accounting, serving, cleaning up, and the kitchen (other than the main cooking) all by herself, so even if I call her and say, ``Excuse me,'' she doesn't respond.They will take your order in the order you enter the store, so please wait quietly.If you ask someone who came after you to ask first, all you have to do is say, ``This one goes first.''Some people were complaining about the order in which the food comes out, but since the five menu items are cooked at the same time, it can be adjusted back and forth.The order in which you order doesn't really matter.Well, if you're that annoyed even if you make a mistake, stop doing it from the beginning.Also about children,It's natural to feel uncomfortable if you're treated harshly, but it's not normal for all people and stores to be tolerant and accepting of other people's children.Writing 1 star as if you were taking revenge makes others uncomfortable.If you find out about the situation before you go, don't go.The large single-board table for six people is basically shared seating.There are three groups of two people to sit in, so if it's crowded, sit close together.Again, this is a set meal restaurant run by an elderly couple.It's no good if you go there just like a normal family restaurant.ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーMeat bowlJapanese-style gently seasoned meat is piled high on donburi rice.There's too much meat and not enough rice.Steak set mealThe meat is a good size, tender and delicious. They will also ask you about the doneness.The seasoning is light. The meat tastes just right.It cools down quickly because it's a plate rather than an iron plate.The most expensive item on the menu is 1500 yen.However, considering the contents, the cost performance is not bad at all.A popular menu that many people order.Yakiniku set mealHeaps of meat stir-fried with sauce.The flavor of the sauce is quite strong (I guess it depends on your taste). The meal progresses rapidly.It's a big portion so I guess it's a bit disappointing.Hamburger set mealGravy is crazy! It is not a type but a minced and rich type. Quite thick and voluminous. ketchup sauce.specialFried chicken set meal. (Sometimes it seems like there's curry)Lots of delicious fried chicken.The best value for money on the menu.Limited to 10 meals.It looks like one out of every two people is special.If it's within the first 20 people, you might be able to make it in time.

First visit after seeing it on SNS. I passed by but didn't know anything about it. The parking lot was almost full of cars and many bicycles. The store has the atmosphere of a luxury store.When I entered the store, a group of five people were waiting for me. It seems like the wife is doing the cooking by herself so we have to wait for a while. Although it was about to close, there were many people inside waiting for their food, and we were seated after being told that it would take a long time. There is a notice that the price will go up from next month.This time, we ordered everyone's recommended yakiniku set meal. If you pay in cash first, you will receive a 100 yen discount coupon. My husband did the cooking by himself, so it certainly took a while, but the food came out in a huge amount. The rice is just average, and you can get a second helping. The seasoning is a little strong, but the rice goes well and I finished it in no time.Next time, I'm also interested in the steak set meal and hamburger set meal.If you have time and want to eat your fill, I recommend visiting this restaurant.

It is located at the back of the village. It seems that they also run an inn.Set meals are reasonably priced but have plenty of volume ♥️I got a coupon, so next time I'll try the popular Yakiniku set meal 🐂The special lunch was Kushikatsu this time, and the meat was thick and delicious😊
