青菜＠丸の内でランチ（２回目）: オーツの日常生活 : Chin Tsui

When Oates and his wife went out on Sunday in the Marunouchi area, they had lunch at Seina. 　We had been to this restaurant about two months earlier. 2024.1.11http://o-tsu.seesaa.net/article/502028187.html This would be our second visit for a holiday lunch. I thought the restaurant was quite nice last time, so I easily decided to go here again this time. 　We entered the restaurant right after it opened at 11:00. I did not make a reservation. I didn't make a reservation because I didn't think it would be impossible to get in at that time anyway. 　We were told that the seats with a good view by the window were already reserved, so we were shown to a table facing the entrance of the restaurant. Well, I don't care much about the view, so as long as I could have a good lunch, I was satisfied. 　The menu presented to us was the same as last time. https://kiwa-group.co.jp/wp5/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/chintsai_marunouchi_lunch_holiday_2204.pdf While looking at the menu, Otsu decided to order the famous Gyoza / Dumpling set "Gyoza / Dumpling" for 2,200 yen. Otsu decided to order the famous set for ¥2,200. My wife ordered the Chinese Tentshin set "Ham-Tentshin" for ¥2,800. 　We both ordered different items and ate half of each. 　The specialty Gyoza / Dumpling set "Gyoza / Dumpling" includes the following 　　Three Chinese Home-style Small Vegetable Dishes Hui Hei Gyoza / Dumpling * Rice with Stewed Pork Tenderloin Soup, Apricot Curd, Chinese Tea The "*" is a choice. Otsu ordered the rice with pork tender cubes and starchy sauce. 　The Chinese Tenshin set "咸點心" is a set of the following 　　Three Chinese home-style small dishes Seafood Spring rolls Daikon sticky rice cakes Three kinds of handmade Gyoza / Dumpling Fried rice cake, Xiaolongbao, Baozi * Chicken noodle with green vegetables Apricot bean curd, Chinese tea The "*" is a choice. My wife wanted something like tanmen if she had to choose from Noodles, so after asking the waitress, she ordered the chicken noodle soup with green vegetables. 　Without much waiting, three small Chinese home-style appetizers came out for two. 　The oats were also served with soup. 　The soup is warm and delicious. I ate it with a bamboo stick. This kind of thing seems to taste especially good during the cold season. The three appetizers were also delicious. However, since I had other business to attend to in the afternoon, I decided to refrain from drinking alcohol. Chinese tea is served in a pot and you pour it into a cup yourself. At first, the tea is only a little bit colored and has little taste, so it is not very tasty. However, as time goes by, the ingredients of the tea dissolve from the tea leaves, and the tea becomes drinkable in its own way. 　Next came the pork tender cubes with starchy sauce over rice. 　The rice was served in an earthenware pot, and because it was heated in the pot, it was slightly charred around the edges. It is good to scrape off the charred bits with a ladle and eat it. 　We shared it between the two of us, taking it out into a container for sharing. The flavor of the red bean paste is a little strong. However, I think it is better to have it this strong so that the rice will go further. The tofu, which is not very plain, tastes better with this bean paste on it. 　The pork cubes were tender, easy to eat, and tasted good, so the oats were very satisfying. The portions were reasonable as well. 　Next, the Seafood spring rolls and daikon sticky rice cake were served on a plate. On the small plate to the right are various condiments. My wife cut the Seafood spring roll and daikon sticky rice cake in half and we managed to eat them together. Each was quite good. The daikon mochi is not very flavorful, so the seasoning makes it feel just right. 　The Gyoza / Dumpling set of oats is Gyoza / Dumpling. There are three baked Gyoza / Dumpling pieces, but each piece is very large and jumbo Gyoza / Dumpling. The one Gyoza / Dumpling that sticks out from the plate is too big to fit on the plate, rather than being intentionally arranged that way. Oates had two and my wife had one. 　Next, my wife ordered the baozi, Xiaolongbao, which was a baozi. 　They are similar in shape and may be difficult to distinguish just by looking at them. The left side was the baozi, the right side was Xiaolongbao, and the front was the baozi. Xiaolongbao The "baozi" has juice coming out from the inside, so it is impossible for two people to eat it together. My wife ate this one. 　My wife had a hard time splitting the yakisai and the baozi in half, and we were able to eat them together. I thought this was also warm and tasty. My wife said that the Xiaolongbao did not have any hot juices popping out of it. 　This is three different kinds of handmade Gyoza / Dumpling. This is water Gyoza / Dumpling. My wife ate the white and green ones and Oats ate the orange one. The skin was thick and worth eating. 　After a short pause, the chicken noodle soup with greens came out. I was given a slice of the oats to share. The noodles are unique. They were hard and tasted very different from the Ramen kind of noodles you get at most restaurants. I think this is a good characteristic of this restaurant. The container was small, but this is also a consideration on the part of the restaurant. The small container is sufficient because there are various other foods to be eaten. 　The salty soup is delicious. It is just like tanmen. 　Finally, two pieces of apricot pudding were served. When I tried them, I found them quite sweet and felt they were too sweet for oats. 　Now all the food was served. The end of lunch. 　All in all, I think each of the foods we ate were delicious. Each dish is small, but the set includes a variety of foods anyway, so you will be reasonably full after eating all of them. 　If you can have this kind of lunch for around 2,000 yen, you will not be dissatisfied. 　I liked it so much that I would be happy to have lunch at Aona every time I go out to Marunouchi.

　オーツは、とある休日に妻と丸の内にある「青菜」（チンツァイ）でランチを食べました。

　事前には「席だけ予約」としておき、店に着いてから注文品を決めました。
　席に着いたら、氷入りのお冷や二つが出てきました。
　休日のランチメニューは以下の通りです。

　妻は、名物餃子セットを選び、主菜として「海鮮あんかけ土鍋ご飯」（＋300円）を選びました。これで2,500円です。
　オーツは、青菜炒めと特選料理セット（五菜一湯）2,600円にしました。魚料理か肉料理が選べますが、この日の魚料理はエビチリソースだということだったので、それにしました。
　いずれにせよ、出てきたものを二人で分け合って半分ずつ食べればいいだろうと思いました。
　また、オーツはかめだし紹興酒（グラス）750円を注文しました。
　最初に、紹興酒が出てきました。

また、中国茶２人分が出てきました。ポットからカップに注ぐ形で、妻はもっぱらこれを飲みました。オーツは紹興酒と冷水があればそれで十分ですので、お茶は飲まないことにしました。

　少し待っていると、「中国家庭的小菜三品」が出てきました。二人に同じものが出ました。これがなかなかおいしいものでした。左側の鴨肉もいい味をしていましたし、真ん中のは豚肉の角煮ですかね。酒のあてにはまことにピッタリです。右側はイカと赤ピーマンですが、これもよかったです。
　一緒に出された中華スープも温かくておいしかったです。

　次に青菜炒めです。ちょっと塩分が強めかもしれませんが、オーツはこれくらいが好きです。

　続いて土鍋ご飯です。土鍋が熱くて、今の季節にピッタリです。
　あんかけご飯なので、グオバみたいな感じです。あるいは中華丼みたいなものでしょうか。けっこうたっぷりのご飯があって、二人で食べて十分でした。

　次が餃子です。１人前ということで３個でしたが、１個が大きくて、食べ応えがありました。妻と１個半ずつ食べました。

　次がエビチリソースとご飯です。この店のエビチリは大きくて太いものが２本です。これがまたおいしいと思いました。

　次に焼売です。カラシも添えられていました。

　最後に杏仁豆腐が出てきました。二人に同じものが出てきました。

　実によく食べました。どれもおいしくて、けっこうでした。
　食べている途中の感じでは、次々と料理が運ばれてくる感じがしました。中華料理ですから、大半は温かいものです。なるべく冷める前に食べようと思うと、出てくるペースに合わせて食べることになります。ちょっとせかされる感じになってしまいました。
　レシートには、12:43と時刻が書かれていました。11:40に店に入ったので、１時間で食べたことになります。杏仁豆腐が出てから、水を飲んだりして少しゆっくりして１時間ですから、食べる時間は正味４０分くらいだったのではないかと思います。
　紹興酒は１杯で十分でした。時間の余裕があればもう１杯追加注文してもいいと思いましたが、そんな余裕はなく、急いで食べさせられた感じでした。
　もう少しゆっくりペースで料理を味わいつつ食べたかったですかね。
　ともあれ、二人で5,850円というのは、納得の行く値段だと思いました。
　中国人の店員の日本語はとても上手で、問題はありませんが、何となく「丁寧な接客」という感じがしませんでした。何がそういう印象を与えているのか、わかりませんでしたが。
