おおとや

せんしゅうのすいようびにともだちとにほんのレストラん「おおとや」へいきました。
レストランでわたしはおろしとんかつをたべました。
It was so crispy and juicy-- definitely some of the best とんかつ that I've had in a while!
そしてわたしのともだちは海鮮丼(かいせんどん)をたべました。
ほんとにおいしいでした!

One thing that I was able to notice was the care and hospitality with which the servers would treat the customers. It made the experience feel especially authentic, as if I were truly in Japan. Additionally, the meal and dishes looked so carefully and thoughtfully chosen and placed, which made it feel like the restaurant put so much care into each detail. As a really detail-oriented person, I seriously appreciate when restaurants are meticulous like this!

わたしのとんかつ。I got the おろしとんかつ, so instead of regular とんかつ sauce, I dipped it in a ぽんず sauce. I ordered the set meal, so I also got ごはん、みそごはん、みそしる、 茶碗蒸し(ちゃわんむし)、and salad as well! 
The food was so delicious, that my friend and I hardly spoke while eating. Whoops.

Japanese food is among my favorite, and I find both cooking and eating Japanese food to be really comforting. Korean and Japanese are my favorite cuisines, and I love to make both and experiment with the two!

We ended the meal with あんみつ。We were so stuffed, and the あんみつ was small, so it was the perfect way to end the meal.

あんみつ:comprised of あんこ、ぎゅうひ、おちゃアイスクリーム、みつ.
This restaurant has become one of my favorites for its atmosphere, food, and service. I want to go again soon!

  1. Wow!! They look so yummy. とんかつ is one of my favorite. I like the one my mother make the best!!:) Yes, they have rules where to put dishes which is still confusing for me. Do you like みそしる?

    1. そうですね!My mother makes really yummy とんかつ too, but she tries to be health conscious, so she always buys a leaner cut of pork. This restaurant had a very rich cut of pork! There's a certain harmony that is ideal when it comes to plating, it seems. おおもしろいでしたね。

      I love みそしる! I was very sick a few weeks ago and it was all I could bring myself to eat. I made だし, put in the みそ, and added some とふ と ねぎ。おいしいでした。そして I felt a lot better after drinking many liquids^^
