We had a great-value weekday-only raw shirasu rice bowl lunch at the sushi and Japanese restaurant “Washoku Kaito” inside “Mont et Mer,” the shopping mall directly connected to JR Ashiya Station!
Washoku Kaito’s “Awaji Island Raw Shirasu Rice Bowl”

“Awaji Island Raw Shirasu Rice Bowl” Weekday Lunch Discount 980 yen (tax included)
It comes as a set with a raw shirasu rice bowl, chawanmushi, mini nyumen noodles, and two kinds of pickles.

↑ A bowl topped with raw shirasu from Awaji Island, egg yolk, green onion, ginger, myoga, and other condiments over Kaito’s special red-vinegar sushi rice!

↑ First, pour on some soy sauce, then break the egg yolk in the middle…

↑ So rich and runny♪

↑ The fresh raw shirasu, egg yolk, soy sauce, condiments, and red-vinegar sushi rice are a perfect match!

↑ The soup dish is actually nyumen, warm somen noodles!

↑ Slurp them up together with the dashi broth.

↑ And it even comes with chawanmushi! You really get to enjoy plenty of the dashi that Japanese restaurants do so well♪

↑ It’s silky and easy to eat, but it won’t chill your stomach, which is nice!

↑ For the two kinds of pickles, you can choose your favorites from five varieties! I went with summery cucumber and daikon pickles♪
Even at such a great price, this lunch was totally satisfying in both variety and volume!
Washoku Kaito’s Menu

↑ There are all kinds of great-value lunch-only menu items, including weekday lunch discounts and weekly morning specials!

↑ They also have a selection of carefully chosen local sake!
