There are days when choosing a restaurant is all about feeling, not thinking.

Blessed with fine weather, I walked around Shinjuku on the middle day of the second three-day weekend in February. In stark contrast to the first half of the route where there were so many restaurants to choose from, in the second half the restaurant numbers became sparse and it looked like I might end up being a lunch refugee. However, my goal this time was Shinjuku so I was thinking I'd manage to make it in the end, when as I was approaching Nukebenten my eye fell on a restaurant called "Baikoen". From the outside it didn't look like a local Chinese restaurant, but that doesn't mean it was one of those Cook Do-style native Chinese restaurants that just popped up yesterday or today. I felt somehow drawn to it, so I decided to have lunch there. When I walked inside the restaurant, the first thing that caught my eye was a sign that read "Bashu Cuisine". Upon looking it up, I found that "Bashu" actually means "Sichuan", but "Bashu Cuisine" itself is apparently a cuisine that developed in Wuhan, China. Wuhan... Come to think of it, Wuhan was the birthplace of the new coronavirus. To the right of the sign was a signed autograph from a rather modest group of people involved in television programs.預かりの味わいが深いですね。 English: Displayed with great care on the left side of the sign is an autographed colored paper by Tonmaro...or rather, Hikomaro, judging from his catchphrase, "It's a jewel box." Furthermore, looking at what appears to be a newspaper clipping posted underneath it, it appears that this is the restaurant where actor Nukumizu Yoichi worked part-time before he was famous. That doesn't mean I'm particularly grateful for this, but at least it doesn't seem like I'm walking into a completely unknown restaurant, so I'm grateful for my intuition in choosing this place. Sitting at my seat and examining the menu on the table, I'm intrigued by the "Bashu-style Mapo Tofu," but the "Twice Cooked Pork" is also hard to resist. There is also something called a "Great Value Two-Dish Set," but it seems that "Bashu-style Mapo Tofu" is not included in the set. However, I asked if it was possible to get a "Great Value Two-Dish Set" of "Bashu-style Mapo Tofu" and "Twice Cooked Pork," and they said it was OK if I didn't mind paying extra, so it's good to ask about anything. So, after a while, the "Special 2-item set" of "Bashu-style mapo tofu" and "Twice-cooked pork" (1,270 yen) arrived. Both were authentic and delicious. By the way, the small bowl that came with the set contained condiments to make it more spicy. I didn't use them, and at the end I put the leftover "Bashu-style mapo tofu" on rice. Unlike the native Chinese restaurants these days, the rice here is good. Yes. It's good to choose a restaurant while walking, don't think, just feel.
