Gotokuji, Setagaya Ward

I think it's the first time I alighted at Gotokuji Station.

"Setagaya Line, Yamashita Station"... So there's such a thing.

A small and cozy shopping street.

Have I crammed in too much work for this month of December?

I have to make sure to do the materials tonight.

Excuse me, I have an appointment with Uchida-sama. I'm Inogashira.

Thank you for coming.

Director Uchida! Inogashira-sama is here to meet with you.

Hello, hello. I'm Uchida. Thank you for coming.

Study Desk Catalog

Since I heard you wanted a highly functional classical British desk, I have made a catalog.

I'll take a look. Oh!

I'm excited to see it.

Well, I heard a lot of things about you.

What kind of things?

Various stuff.

Basically, that you're an extremely capable guy with excellent taste.

(Such high expectations can be) extremely difficult.

Well, I tried looking for a desk myself on the internet...

...but I always find one wrong thing with one or the other...

At that point, if it's Inogashira-san...

If it's... Inogashira-san...

Huh? Wait... just a minute...

Are these your recommendations?

For now, these are the ones I selected that meet your conditions.

That means there are others that you did not select, right?

They're in my laptop but on the first page of the catalog...

Please bring it out.

Your laptop... I will choose from it myself.

MATSUSHIGE YUTAKA INOGASHIRA GORO

Regardless of time or society...

When someone indulges in satisfying his hunger...

...he will become selfish and liberated for a moment.

Without being disturbed by anyone...

It's that time already Oh dear

...to eat freely is an act of aloofness.

Be patient Calmly read the menu

This act is the best comfort given...

It's like a new history ...is engraved in my stomach.

...equally to every man.

Ep. 10: "Amberjack Teriyaki Set Meal and Cream Croquettes of Gotokuji, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo"

My son has become independent and had moved out...

Finally, I can turn his room into my study.

I dreamt of having my own study for 20 years... So I got to have the best desk for it.

You can understand that, right?

Yes.

Inogashira-san, come here.

You should've selected this one.

I wondered if it was functional since the drawers are too small.

What about this one...

I thought that would be way over your budget.

I found it!

It's perfect for my budget. I've decided on this one.

Oh, really. I'm glad you found it.

Inogashira-san, you should have included this!

Come on, man! Goodness...

This and this... are they the same?

It's the same.

The rumors are true! You really ARE a capable guy.

Oi oi, gimme a break.

Suddenly I felt tired.

I had planned to finish that business meeting in ten minutes.

Anyway, let's go back and make the materials.

No, wait... I'm feeling... super-duper...

...hungry!

Let's eat dinner around here.

So far today, I only ate at a standing soba shop.

Now I want a proper meal-like meal.

There must be an eatery at one of the buildings along that shopping street.

Looks like I immediately spotted a potentially good shop.

Chinese Cuisine KIMURA

But... it's not yet open.

Shunsaigyo INADA

A set meal shop?

The banner looks like it's a western-style cuisine shop.

Delish! Restaurant

Plus it only says "restaurant"...

A shop that's hard to read (or guess what kind it is).

Special SEAFOOD BOWL

So it's a seafood diner?

...is what you might assume, but yep, they serve western-style food too.

Inada's Set Meal Menu (Salad • Rice Set) Jumbo Menchi Katsu Aji & Squid Fry Shogayaki & Meat Croquette Fried Spring Chicken & Cream Croquette

Somehow, it looks promising.

Ga~n! Two defeats in a row.

Welcome.

Alright!

Please.

I'm saved!

Welcome.

Please sit anywhere you like.

What's with the interiors...

Slightly eccentric...

Here's some water.

Oh thank you.

Looks like it's gonna be a fish attack here.

Special Mackerel Shioyaki Extra Special Mackerel Shioyaki Hokkaido Opened & Dried Saury Gindara Saikyo-yaki

For Mackerel Shioyaki (salt-grilled), choose between Special and Extra Special.

Kyoto-Style Grilled = marinated in white miso, then fried/grilled It's rare to see Salmon Saikyo-yaki* on a menu.

Salmon Saikyo-yaki

Whoa~, "Extra Thick", "Thick Slice", "Specially Selected"

Thick Slice Sweet-Salty Grilled Silver Salmon Extra Thick Fatty Hokke, Cut Open & Dried Thick Slice Gindara Teriyaki Specially Selected Red Sea Bream Saikyo-yaki

It's really trying to drive the point home, huh.

Each comes with Tsukimi Tororo

Tororo... He~h.

Homemade UMEBOSHI

Umeboshi?

Kinds of Tamagoyaki Vinegared Food Brown Boiled Beans Cold Tofu Ohitashi Fried Eggplant Potato Salad Tofu Salad Salted Squid Spicy Mentaiko

Over here says, "Vinegared Food" and "Ohitashi" (boiled seasoned veggies).

I see, I see.

And what about that blackboard?

Sorry. Our menu is all scattered about.

Is that about western-style food?

Yes.

And that one behind you, is our Today's Recommendations.

Our sashimi is very good.

Oh, is that so.

Sashimi also may sound good but right now I'm in the mood for grilled fish.

So it's either Salmon Saikyo-yaki, or Amberjack Teriyaki. Hmm~.

Hmmm...

Plus a one shot from the western dish menu.

I know!

Excuse me.

Yes? Are you ready to order?

Amberjack Teriyaki Set Meal...

...with Tsukimi Tororo as accompaniment dish please.

Got it.

And also, Cream Croquettes please.

Okay, got it.

Master, Amberjack Teriyaki with Tsukimi Tororo and Cream Croquettes.

Got it.

I also wanted to try the Salmon Saikyo-yaki but...

It can't beat the allurement of Amberjack Teriyaki.

Welcome.

Hello.

Deep-Fried Oysters and bottled beer please.

Certainly.

Master, Deep-Fried Oysters.

Yep.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

You're not having Seafood Rice Bowl today huh?

When I was on the train, I kept imagining your Fried Oysters.

There can be times like that. You want some sashimi with it?

Oh, yes please.

Also, Dashi Maki-Tamago (Dashi-Flavored Rolled Omelet).

Sure thing.

Here's the bottled beer.

Yep, thanks.

Thank you for your patience. Here's the set meal you ordered.

[Amberjack Teriyaki Set Meal Tsukimi Totoro Side Dish]

Nice. Now THIS is a proper meal.

The dining table of the island country of Japan. I like how it comes with all sorts of small side dishes.

I humbly receive.

[Amberjack Teriyaki] Put on the sauce Take your time... A deep taste That is baked and shines

Ooh wow~ ...look at this glaze.

It's more than meets the eye.

Amberjack-Teri(yaki). It's amber-tastic.

What a tare. The sweetness and spiciness are exquisitely balanced.

Prepared with much thoughtful and meticulous concern.

Fits with white rice so much, I could eat a lot.

Oh~ this way is good too.

Boiled Kombu that's preserved in soy.

This ain't a mere supporting character.

I'll be satisfied even with just this.

[Simmered Food for the Day] A gentle taste is In my heart

The taste of simmered food which you can only understand when you get older.

I'm grateful for that.

[Spinach with Sesame Dressing] For a Japanese person, this is a must

You can feel the shop's thoughtful concern with this sort of item.

Shunsaigyo INADA

I'm having trouble deciding when I should begin eating the Tororo.

Cream Croquettes. Thanks for the wait.

[Cream Croquettes] Yo! What we waited for! This is the mirror of Japanese-Western food!!

Sauce, check.

Uwah! Just feel that coating!

Howah... hot hot hot...

Ah~ Cream... Yum.

Along with butcher's croquettes, these cream croquettes...

...are from another world.

But I would very much want to encounter both occasionally.

Tartar...

When used on this croquette...

I like it. Tastes great.

It's unusual, right? Eating croquettes with tartar.

Oh, but it's delicious.

Glad you like it. Started serving that after one of my regulars requested it.

Who doesn't like tartar, right?

I'm also a certified Tartarist.

Long live Tartar!

Resetting with simmered food.

Thanks to the side dishes, I get to continuously eat my rice.

Fatty skin can still be good... Right?

Welcome.

Hello.

Good evening.

Welcome.

Hi.

Good evening.

Here you go.

Yes, thank you.

There's Saury huh. Oh, thanks.

I got some fatty mackerel today.

Looks good. I'll have some.

I'll have it for my Seafood Bowl.

Sure thing!

Thank you.

The Fried Oysters are awesome, aren't they?

Yeah, can't stop guzzling down my beer.

That's great.

Keenly savoring an Amberjack Teriyaki Set Meal at this kind of set meal shop.

It's a wonderful moment.

For me, moments like this are essential.

"Teishoku" (Set meals)...

People tend to forget such irreplaceable words.

Shoot, I've run out of rice.

Thanks for waiting, here's the Seafood Bowl!

Will you look at this beauty.

The Sashimi are sticking out of the bowl.

Excuse me.

Yes.

Can I have a rice refill...

...and is it okay to add a fixing of sashimi at this (late) part of my meal?

Sure, no problem.

Oh, thanks.

Good evening.

Welcome.

Mackerel again tonight?

Yup.

And umeboshi too please.

Sure thing.

Excuse me.

I'll have an umeboshi too please.

Of course!

Here's the Umeboshi.

My very first time ordering umeboshi as an additional single item.

Here's your rice refill.

I'll have the other empty plates.

Oh yes, thank you.

[Homemade Umeboshi] Handmade by Master It's Umelicious~

Sour! It's super sour!

Here's your additional order of Sashimi.

Our Umeboshi here is really sour, isn't it?

It's really good, feels like it's what umeboshi should be like.

I make it myself. Many of my patrons say they like this kind of sourness.

[Osashimi (Tuna • Greater Amberjack • Scallops)] Today's season! Three Item Assortment!!

It's delicious. Just as they said.

Ordering this at the last minute was the correct decision.

Let the sauce flow.

When it gets colder, you can see how good the cream is.

Tar...

Tar...

Tar.

For sure I would want to eat this again.

And now let's have... Tororo.

[Tsukimi Tororo] Final weapon To decorate the last

I kept postponing the timing for this but...

Good.

At the last moment, a feast called Tororo Rice has appeared.

I got a good idea.

It's the Seafood-Tsukimi-Tororo Rice Bowl.

Kuh~ This is what I call heaven.

So good it brings you to tears.

Thanks for waiting, here's Mackerel Shioyaki.

Thank you.

Your business is doing good, huh?

Well, it because it's the end of the year.

Been so busy.

Better than slow business, right?

You're right.

Everyone looks happy.

Food becomes delicious if you eat in such an atmosphere.

With this Seafood-Tsukimi-Tororo Rice, my set meal is drawing to a close.

Makes a wonderful epilogue, doesn't it?

Why does the tea after a delicious meal...

...taste this delicious.

Thank you for this meal.

Thank you for coming.

That was one fine dinner.

With that meal, I can persevere even more.

There were coffee shops that looked like this in the 70s...

"Kodoku no Gurume" Original Writer QUSUMI MASAYUKI

There are styles like this that still remains.

Though it's a set meal shop, I find it interesting.

When you see platters lined up like this, it feels kinda comforting.

Omakase (Chef's Selection) 4 Item Appetizer Set

Master NAGAHARA SEIKI-san

...can I have that?

Yes.

Mustard Spinach and Fried Tofu Kinpira Burdock

First he starts with these two items...

Mustard Spinach and Fried Tofu.

Oh, it's good!

When tofu is flash-fried...

...it's delicious, isn't it?

That's right.

Plus sesame seeds.

Kinpira burdock!

Nice. A bit spicy.

Yes.

Better to eat with liquor than rice.

Of course.

It's delicious.

This one's delicious too.

Potato Salad

After having the 3rd item Potato Salad, the 4th remaining item is...?

Today I got some delicious tuna...

Shall I serve you a little?

Sounds great.

He said a little a bit of tuna...

...still, who can refuse that?

Here it is, thanks for waiting.

Looks great! Perfect with beer!

It's lean tuna for today. Maguro Tuna

I do prefer lean tuna now.

Uwah, I'm drooling.

It's fantastic.

Thank you.

Yummy tuna.

Potato Salad Mustard Spinach & Fried Tofu Kinpira Burdock Maguro Tuna [Omakase 4 Item Appetizer Set]

Master's Omakase for today are... these four items.

Then at this moment...

Here's Shochu!

That's... wait...

I don't have a cold.

But I was given hot water with ume.

Ah, it's wonderful.

Do you make your own Umeboshi?

Yes!

I don't use honey at all.

Because there's sweetness to it, right?

Really goes well with hot water.

You like sake, don't you?

I do.

Of course.

I can tell!

I don't think I want to go home.
