JAPAN TRAVEL



Enjoy tasty, hearty Japanese comfort food

An absolute Mishima institution, Jun has been serving up hearty, affordable 'Japanese Western' comfort food to the locals since 1955. Just round the corner from Sanshin Zen Gallery a few minutes' walk from the JR station, it's a good place to go for a tasty, filling lunch or dinner that won't break the bank.

There's a bicycle in the window - it's on the second floor - and the interior design is as eclectic as that suggests. The bare walls and partitions are adorned with leafy plants, colourful ceramics and candles, faux stained glass and superhero comic-book covers, while in the bar area you'll find collector figurines behind the counter, baseball bats and gloves to one side. The lunchtime music was swingy '50s jazz of the kind that has prolonged rattly drum solos, and had me fully expecting Dean Martin to saunter on in and light one up.

On my lunchtime visit, I went for the hamburg steak with a light soy-based sauce and grated radish on top. This was very nice, with the juicy meat, light sauce and smooth radish melding together nicely. It was slightly small for a hungry Englishman, so I treated myself to the framboise cake for dessert, which was also light, but full of flavour.

When I went for dinner, I went for a big no-nonsense omu (omelette) curry rice: as Japanese curry tends to be, it was mild when compared with Indian or Thai curry, but still had a nice spicy bite, and properly filled me up.

The menus are only in Japanese, but there are a good number of pictures, and on my second visit the friendly waitress could speak decently good English. Most lunch dishes are ¥1080, including salad and either rice or bread: hamburg steak, fried cutlets of pork or ground beef, shrimp macaroni gratin, while for ¥1300 you can have cream croquettes, and ¥1750 gets you a selection plate (¥680 for a kids' plate).

The dinner menu has many of the same meals, and also beef curry for ¥1080, my omu curry for ¥1300, two sizes of roast beef for ¥850 or ¥1600, spinach salad for ¥820. Wine, beer and cocktails cost from ¥500 to ¥650, and desserts from ¥350 to ¥460, including vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake and tiramisu.

Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through <a href="http://royalcartcorner.shop" />royalcartcorner</a> I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.
Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at <a href="http://amberpetalcollective.shop" />amberpetalcollective</a> reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at <a href="http://radiantmaplestore.shop" />radiantmaplestore</a> only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at <a href="http://nextgenbuyhub.shop" />nextgenbuyhub</a> similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at <a href="http://trendycartcenter.shop" />trendycartcenter</a> suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at <a href="http://vibrantcartcorner.shop" />vibrantcartcorner</a> reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at <a href="http://frostharvestgoods.shop" />frostharvestgoods</a> confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at <a href="http://silverlaneemporium.shop" />silverlaneemporium</a> extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Halfway through I knew I would finish the post, and a stop at <a href="http://ambercrestmarket.shop" />ambercrestmarket</a> also held me through to the end, content that signals its quality early and then sustains it is content with real internal consistency and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain quality from opening sentence through to closing thought.
Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at <a href="http://velvetharborgoods.shop" />velvetharborgoods</a> carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at <a href="http://trendinggoodsmarket.shop" />trendinggoodsmarket</a> added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at <a href="http://amberlighthousegoods.shop" />amberlighthousegoods</a> reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after <a href="http://clevercartzone.shop" />clevercartzone</a> I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at <a href="http://driftwoodvalleygoods.shop" />driftwoodvalleygoods</a> reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to <a href="http://amberoakcollective.shop" />amberoakcollective</a> kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
