[Osaka, Ikeda] "Sushizen" Lunchtime surprises!!

We visited on a weekday at around 11:40, a little after opening time. There were two tables, and one group of customers was already there. We sat at one of the 6-7 counter seats. The landlady quickly brought out the tea, saying, "It'll take a little while, is that okay?" The teacups were so big that I burst out laughing. That was my first surprise. I wanted to ask the landlady, how did she carry two big, heavy teacups with those skinny arms and that small tray? And the teacups were super hot. No, seriously, how did she carry those teacups? That was my second surprise. Just as the tea we were blowing on started to cool just right, the elderly man and the landlady started arguing (lol). That was my third surprise. The closer they are, the more they enjoy it. By that time, the restaurant was full. While I was doing that, a huge pile of pork soup appeared! I was surprised! Well, some of it spilled on the tray when it was brought to me... 😆 The ingredients were pork, radish, carrots, and chikuwa, but each one was big and piled high in the small bowl, and I thought, "No, if I carried this, I would spill even more," and I was surprised at the hostess's core strength. Even if you want to drink the pork soup, you can't get to it unless you have a certain amount of the ingredients in your stomach. At this point, it seems like a stew. Then, seafood chirashi served in a wooden bucket appeared. I was surprised at the generosity of the sashimi. Sushi rice mixed with simmered chopped shiitake mushrooms is topped with shredded egg and chopped nori seaweed, and then topped with a generous amount of large ingredients such as tuna, octopus, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, squid, salmon roe, sea bream, and denbu fish paste. It's not a seafood bowl, but a "seafood chirashi." The proprietress whispered in my ear, "Don't pour soy sauce on top, pick up the sashimi with your chopsticks and dip it in the soy sauce before eating," (laughs) 7 I was surprised. I see, the sushi rice under the sashimi is really delicious, and it would be a waste to get soy sauce on it. Of course, all the sashimi is also very plump! Just as I was getting full from the chirashi and the pork soup ingredients, I was shocked again by the pork soup. I was surprised to see that it contained a potato the size of a child's fist. I think overseas customers will also enjoy it. If you sit down, you will be served a surprising seafood chirashi without even ordering. ...
