どうしてもお好み焼きが食べたくて…一太郎さんです(^O^)ノ : Okonomiyaki Monja Teppanyaki Ichitarou

Thursday dinner, I really wanted to eat Okonomiyaki on this day, so I called the usual Ishiri but it was full (ﾟдﾟ)no so I went to the Okonomiyaki honpo that I hadn't been to yet, but somehow I felt like waiting outside. There was a crowd of people (T▽T)ノ I had no choice but to call Mr. Ichitaro from the Okonomiyaki Honpo parking lot and he said there was a spot available!! ︎ So I visited the Okonomiyaki restaurant "Ichitaro" in Amakubo, Tsukuba City (^ ^)ノ I was the only customer when I visited around 19:40! But by the time I was leaving, a lot of customers started coming in, so the timing was perfect. First of all, wash your throat with a medium bottle of Super Dry (^O^)!! ︎ However, the glass came out in a medium mug, so I guess the atmosphere was a little off (lol) So this time I chose the premium all-you-can-eat course, and first ordered the same potato salad and salted firefly squid as snacks♪♪ The grilled food was ``Ichitaro''. I ordered the okonomiyaki "Special Monja" and Okonomiyaki "Ichitaro Supeten" (^ ^)ノ First, let's start with the Monja! I baked it carefully and moistly, made a bank, and poured the soup stock, but it collapsed (lol) Well, it doesn't matter as long as you mix it (^O^)!! ︎ That's it, it's done ♪♪ But I always wonder if there is anyone who can make and eat monja well⁇ I failed to make it this time, but I scooped up the monja by pressing it slowly, It didn't stick to the mini spatula at all... It tasted really good (lol) Next is your favorite Ichitaro special tempura! ︎ Ah, this is a “country style” where you bake it yourself (^ ^)♪♪ Mix it all up and put it on the iron plate! Grill each side for about 7 minutes ♪♪ Oh, this one is nicely done (^O^)♪♪ Sprinkle plenty of sauce with mayo beam, fishmeal, and green seaweed ♪♪ Take a bite... Yes, it's just delicious! It looks like it contains pork, squid, shrimp, scallops, and cheese (^ ^)♪♪ There's still room in my stomach! So I ordered an additional tuna corn tempura ♪♪ After all, the combination of tuna and corn is the best (^ ^)♪♪ Yes, it's a belly pan as expected (ﾟдﾟ)ノ After all, when I get tired of Izakaya (Japanese-style bar), the place I end up going to is Okonomiyaki. (lol) Thank you for the meal (^O^)ノ

On Sunday, I visited the Okonomiyaki restaurant "Ichitaro" located in Amakubo 2-chome in Tsukuba City (^ ^)ノ This is the oldest Okonomiyaki restaurant in Tsukuba, a relatively new town that opened after the Tsukuba Expo. ♪ There used to be an old Okonomiyaki restaurant in front of Matsumi Park, but it closed down a long time ago...Tsukuba is surprisingly a town where Okonomiyaki restaurants don't really take root. The last time I visited was almost 20 years ago, so I guess they've been in business for almost 30 years (^ ^)⁇ The store itself was renovated a few years ago, so it's very clean ♪♪ Sunday After 6 pm, I made a reservation on the phone just before going and visited (^ ^) No. There were people lining up like idiots at the neighboring Kushido Temple (lol) I immediately cleaned my throat with a medium bottle of Super Dry, and started with potato salad as a snack. I ordered the salted firefly squid, and Okonomiyaki Ichitaroten (^O^)♪♪ First of all, the potato salad! Yes, it was THE orthodox potato salad (^ ^)♪♪ And the salted firefly squid. Wow, Ruby is moving forward (^ ^)♪♪ Now it's time Okonomiyaki! ︎ I guess you could call it ``country style'' where you cook it yourself (lol).It's an Okonomiyaki style (^ ^)♪♪ Well, there are no noodles, so it's more Osaka-style♪♪ The ingredients are plenty of cabbage, pork, It's loaded with squid, shrimp, cheese, and tuna (^ ^)♪♪ Stir thoroughly and grill for 6 to 7 minutes on each side and it's done (^O^)!! ︎ Take a bite right away... Wow, it's quite fluffy (^ ^)♪♪ I wonder if there's some yam in this? I like tuna, so it's delicious on its own (lol) Well, I'm still not hungry at all. I thought it would fit (lol) so I ordered additional mentaiko topping to the curry tempura and special monja (^O^)ノ The curry tempura had just the right amount of curry powder and was very spicy (^ ^)♪♪ The monja was on the way. Then the dam burst (lol), but if they were mixed together, they would be the same, so it was still bad (^O^)!! ︎ Wow, I really enjoyed Konamon! ︎ On the contrary, it made me want to go to Osaka (lol) Thank you for the meal (^O^)ノ
