A green lantern shop celebrating its 5th anniversary

Parking is also available at the Welcia Ono Tenjin store across the street.

"Ono Udon Yoshikura" (hereinafter referred to as "Yoshikura") is a restaurant that opened in June 2018. It's a 5-minute drive from Miki-Ono IC on the Sanyo Expressway, and just after turning west at the Tenjin intersection on National Route 175.

"Yoshikura" is written in kanji as "Yoshikura". The word ``kichi'' comes from ``kitcho,'' and ``kura'' means ``home.'' Our hope is for this place to be ``a place where you can feel happy and feel at home.''

The green lanterns hanging in front of the store are a sign of a store that supports local products. “We have our original noodles made at a noodle factory in Kato City using flour made from Ono-produced wheat.

The eggs are from Kosaka Poultry Farm. We have confidence in our noodles and eggs,” says Taizo Koji, the store manager.

A clean store

Tatami seats in the back

Inside the store, there are separate table seats, tatami-style seats, and counter seats that are comfortable for solo customers, and we have created a store that can cater to all ages and demographics, including families, couples, and solo customers.

counter seat

This is a counter seat that is easy to use even for office workers who come alone during lunch.

Each table is equipped with 3 types of soy sauce. All of the ingredients are from Takahashi Soy Sauce in neighboring Kasai City. Takahashi Soy Sauce is a brewery that was founded in the Taisho era and maintains the same method of making it as before.

From the left, there are dark soy sauce, dashi soy sauce, and soy sauce for egg-cooked rice, but it is up to you how you use them. “I really recommend dashi soy sauce, and it’s delicious not only with udon but also with anything,” says Komurasaki.

"Kamatama Udon" (550 yen)

The menu is broadly divided into a wide variety of items: kake udon, bukkake, kamaage/kamadama, zaru udon, rice bowls, and set meals. Among them, the one that best conveys the deliciousness of noodles and eggs is ``Kamatama Udon.'' With the exception of Kamatama udon, we use noodles that have been boiled and cooled, but since Kamatama is not steeped, the flavor of the wheat comes through straight through.

Once an order is placed, we start boiling the raw noodles for about 15 minutes, and then pull them out as soon as the core is gone. Transfer immediately to a bowl and top with iron egg and plenty of green onions.

Served with dashi soy sauce

dark egg color

We poured the soy sauce recommended by the manager and mixed it together. The noodles are moderately chewy and chewy. It is a firm noodle that conveys the flavor of wheat. Anyway, the eggs are rich and go well with the mellow soy sauce.

"It's delicious." For the dashi for Kake Udon and Zaru Udon, we use a special dashi pack containing mixed bonito flakes and Geso that we purchase from Kagawa, the home of udon. Use the dashi as a white dashi and blend it with the kake udon and bukkake kaeshi in the respective ratios.

``If you make the soup in advance, it will simmer down and lose its flavor, so I mix the soup stock and the seasoning each time I order,'' says Komurasaki.

Introducing popular menus

“Grated chicken tempura bukkake” (700 yen)

Let's introduce some popular menu items. First up is the ``Toriten Oroshi Bukkake''. All of the tempura here is crispy battered tempura that is fried to order, and the ``Tori-ten'' is especially popular.

Among the menus that use chicken tempura, ``Toriten Oroshi Bukkake'' is popular throughout the year.

“Yoshikura-don set” (from 800 yen) *The picture shows conger eel tempura bowl for 950 yen

This is the famous "Conger eel tempura bowl". This tempura bowl uses a whole carefully selected conger eel, and is very filling. You can tell how big it is because it completely overhangs the bowl. The crispy batter and thick conger eel tempura is quite filling. In addition to single items for 750 yen, there are also sets that come with mini udon noodles.

The photo is of the Yoshikura Donburi Set, where you can choose from three types of mini udon: warm udon, cold yam bukkake, and cold plum bukkake.

"Yoshikura Udon Set" is a set of your favorite udon + rice of your choice. There are 6 types of rice to choose from for an additional 200 yen: yam tororo rice, mentaiko rice, egg-cooked rice, fried egg rice, moon-viewing whitebait rice, and white rice (150 yen), which is a great value.

I'm happy with the variety of services.

Gachagacha near the entrance

Near the entrance, there is a gacha gacha with services for children who visit the store. There are 1st to 5th prizes, and the first prize is a ``500 yen coupon'' without any blank tickets. There is also a "stamp card" where you can get one stamp for 500 yen, and if you collect 30, you can get a 500 yen coupon.

Additionally, if you become a friend on LINE, you can always get a 50 yen discount. “The coronavirus pandemic was really tough, and the challenge was how persistent we could be.While the prices of various things such as raw materials and materials were going up, we did our best without raising prices.Our store is near the factory complex in Ono. Since the restaurant is frequented by factory workers, we offer free large servings of rice so that they can eat as much as they want,'' says manager Komurasaki.

Yoshikura is making a variety of corporate efforts, both in terms of software and hardware. I understand why it's popular.
