チキン南蛮定食 Chicken Namban Teishoku

A few years ago (In 2016), tartar sauce was always served on the side with your meal. You could mix some of the ingredients yourself, leaving it smooth and creamy,
or adding things like chopped radish pickles, making it chewy and a bit salty. It was a good system.
But now unfortunately, they only serve smooth tartar sauce directly on top of the chicken. I really miss the old way of serving tartar sauce.

Anyway, this chicken dish still tastes scrumptious. 😋

YAYOIKEN uses chicken thigh for chicken namban.
Tender and juicy!

Put soy sauce 醤油 on tofu if you like.

I sometimes put mixed chili pepper in miso soup.

Tips

One of YAYOIKEN's specialties

They use really tasty 100% Japanese-grown rice, and they offer free refills!

If you order a standard set meal 定食 Teishoku, you can get a free refill for yourself from the prepared rice table.

To be honest, their rice is delicious!
Common restaurants usually use cheap and low quality rice when they offer free refills.
When I have their set meal, I'm always full and satisfied after eating some rice.

Unfortunately, when you order the other rice foods below, the free refills of rice is not applicable.
