Chayuan, a green tea soba restaurant
Besides cha soba, this soba restaurant offers a variety of flavors, including nabeyaki udon, curry udon, and mini rice bowl sets. The cha soba, which uses matcha from Aichi Prefecture, is firmer than you'd expect.
There is a long table in the center of the restaurant, and there are several four-person tables so you can relax comfortably.
The weekday lunch bowl set tends to sell out if you come late, so be sure to come early!
Family-style ramen Daikiya
A popular local ramen restaurant bustling with regulars.
First, purchase a ticket from the ticket machine at the entrance. Select the firmness of the noodles, the strength of the flavor, and the amount of oil you want, then tell the staff.
The "Smoked Char Siu Ramen" is a hearty bowl of ramen with moist and juicy char siu overflowing from the bowl, giving off a great smoked aroma. The tender pork is packed with flavor and goes perfectly with the noodles.
The medium-thick noodles are perfectly combined with the rich pork bone and soy sauce soup, so you can finish it all in one go without getting bored!
The balance of the toppings, seaweed and spinach, is perfect. There are plenty of table condiments available, and you can enjoy changing the flavor by adding ginger or vinegar.
They also serve ramen in the morning, so be sure to stop by if you're in the area.
Charcoal grilled dried fish set meal Shinpachi Shokudo
A restaurant serving set meals where you can enjoy more than 20 kinds of grilled fish, including horse mackerel, saury, and Atka mackerel, all at reasonable prices.
There are also meat-based set meals such as ginger pork.
It's open from 7am until midnight, so feel free to come any time you like, morning, noon or night.
Tonkatsu Maruyama
Run by a husband and wife, the restaurant has a homey atmosphere with six counter seats and a two-seater table.
The pork loin cutlet set meal uses the branded meat "Hayashi SPF Pork" from Chiba Prefecture, and is covered in a crispy batter, with tender and juicy meat. Sprinkle some rock salt on top to make it not too heavy even though it is fried, and is recommended for women as well. It comes with pork soup, rice, and pickles.
The striking pig figurine is the landmark.
Eel Naruse
This restaurant specializes in eel and provides it at reasonable prices, with the aim of making it easier for people to enjoy eel. It has expanded into a chain all over the country.
The eel served here is steamed Kanto style, and they use Japanese eels sourced from an eel farm.
The sauce is light and not too thick, and it also comes with extra sauce.
The soft eel meat coated in a sweet and spicy sauce goes perfectly with domestically produced rice.
We also recommend eating it topped with wasabi and green onions, a recommendation of the shop.
Bonus: Chabon Tafukuro Kawasaki Main Branch
About an 8-minute walk from Keikyu Kawasaki Station. After passing through Ginryu Street with its retro stained glass, turn onto Nakamise Street and onto the old Tokaido road to find this brick-built shop.
Using domestic vegetables and meat, Tafukuro offers "healthy local Chinese food," and their signature dish is "stone-grilled mapo tofu." When the thick soup and ingredients were brought to me in a stone pot that was bubbling away loudly, my stomach started growling. You can also choose the spiciness to your liking.
Lunch comes with soup, pickles, and a mini salad.
In addition, the popular "Dandan knife-cut noodles" are available freshly made, shaved, and boiled. The chewy noodles mix well with the soup, making it hard to stop eating.
