Yayoiken
I’m eating lunch in a new restaurant near where I live called Yayoiken. It has a ticket system for ordering food, so it’s pretty easy to order. I got the lemon steak, which also came with rice, salad and miso soup. The steak is pretty good. The menu has a wide variety of foods, including tonkatsu, fish, sashimi, french fries, and more.
