Kawauchi

The fried chicken set meal is a standout among Kawauchi’s set-meal options. One diner reported receiving three pieces of soy-sauce-seasoned chicken and three coated in sauce, making it possible to enjoy two different flavours. The same diner estimated the rice portion at about two bowls, and another review also praised the generous serving. It could suit anyone looking for a substantial meal. There is also a chicken karaage rice bowl, another option to enjoy with rice.

For something different, try the braised pork set meal. One diner recalled several large pieces of pork so tender they fell apart with chopsticks, and enjoyed the sauce as well. Other set meals include aubergine with miso and grilled fish. Diners have praised the aubergine with miso, while one said they often ordered the grilled mackerel set meal.

Set meals are available in the evening as well as at lunchtime, so you can choose a full meal alongside a drink. The dinner menu also includes small plates such as simmered beef tendon, yam salad, chicken meatballs with ponzu and fried oysters, with beer and a Kaku highball available to drink. You could make a hearty set meal of dinner, or choose a few snacks to enjoy with a drink.

There is a dinner menu, and the restaurant accommodates both solo diners and groups. Payment is cash only.
