ジャガイモが美味しいんじゃが！？ : Ka Re Shokudou Kokoro

I went to "Kokoro" to have Soup Curry. At one time, I visited many Soup Curry restaurants, but the ones I listed were only the ones that were selected as one of the 100 best restaurants, and I only found out about "Kokoro" about 6 months ago. I wanted to visit many restaurants that were not selected, so I went this time. It's a popular restaurant, and groups with reservations come in early at opening time! I ordered the "17 kinds of vegetable Soup Curry (1180 yen)" at level 10 spiciness. I also ordered a regular (200 yen) extra large rice (500g) with a coupon from Tabelog! It took about 15 minutes for Soup Curry to arrive, but I was impressed by the visual! The reason is that it contains 17 kinds of vegetables! Isn't it amazing that they use so many vegetables for 1180 yen in Soup Curry, which is constantly increasing in price? The standard chicken is 1100 yen, and natto and okra are just one Noguchi coupon, and up to 350g of rice is free, which is a nice touch! I'll list them in the order I checked them from the surface! ↓ Carrots, green peppers, paprika, young corn, cabbage, tomatoes, broccoli, purple radish, pumpkin, potatoes, wood ear mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, lotus root, spinach, green beans, fried eggplant, chickpeas, that's a total of 17 kinds! But I think there were other things in there, and chopped green onions were sprinkled in to match the color. And, although it's not a vegetable, there's also a boiled egg! At Kokoro, we simmer beef bones, chicken bones, pork bones, vegetables, and fruits for 10 hours to create a bouillon soup, and then add Japanese stock, spices, and tomatoes to create the soup. Perhaps because of this, the flavor of the vegetables, mainly tomatoes, spreads all over your mouth, and the secret to the fresh fruit aroma that is not to be outdone by the spiciness, wafts through your nose, I see! (I was checking the recipe while I was typing this ←) If it was just tomato, it would tend to be salty, but the meat flavor adds depth and I think it's well-balanced! Even with the free maximum of number 10, the spiciness is modest, but I was able to experience the deliciousness without destroying the base flavor, so I personally think that I made the right choice by choosing number 10. And, and, the ingredient I want to praise the most is the potato called "Hokkai 50", which is not available on the market! These potatoes are boiled with the skin on and then deep-fried, so they are very satisfying to eat...! One of the attractions is that they don't melt until the end in the heat of the soup, so they don't fall apart! But if you say it has a hard texture, you'd be wrong. It's very fluffy when you bite into it, and it's very sweet, so much so that it makes you want to eat rice with just this! It's also distinctive in that it has a unique character that you can't find anywhere else! The 500g of rice was consumed in no time with the soup and 17 kinds of vegetables, especially the potatoes were huge lol I wonder if I could have cooked it harder, but there was a lot of freebies so I have no complaints, and it also came with seaweed, which is delicious when dipped in the soup (lol) The volume is quite good for the price, but if you are a woman or have a small appetite, it might be better to order less rice. I'm interested in the limited-time menu, but I'm also interested in the meat dishes, so I'll have to decide which one to choose when I go again lol Thank you for the meal.
