It all started from the corner of that street.

About one minute after exiting the southwest exit of Fuse Station.
A store suddenly appears on your usual route to work or shopping.
On the tiled wall, a softly handwritten signboard reads “Western-style restaurant Kinokuniya.
The sign reads, “Western-style restaurant Kinokuniya.

Perhaps it is the 1947 year of the restaurant’s establishment that makes one stand up straight.
However, when you open the door, you will be surprised at how cozy and comfortable it is.
It is bright, modern, and relaxing.
It’s okay to come alone. In fact, the atmosphere is so comfortable that coming alone is more appropriate.

A unique dish born from an idea.

The plump and charming form of this dish catches the eye.
It is not a fried shrimp but a shrimp croquette. But it has a tail.

This menu item was actually conceived by the second-generation mother of the restaurant’s staff in the old days.
Instead of shrimp paste, a whole shrimp is wrapped in creamy potato.
When you pour the tomato demi-glace sauce, which has been handed down from generation to generation,
it creates a sense of unity that makes you want to shovel down the rice without a second thought.

Western cuisine where white rice becomes the star of the dish.

Western cuisine is all about the rice.”

The owner laughed and replied, “Yes, we have set menus.
Not bread and soup, but white rice and miso soup.
They use alkaline ionized water for both cooking and cooking rice.
The rice and meat are plump and sweet.

For example, the hamburger steak.
The sauce is soaked into the flavor of the meat.
One bite of the hamburger steak is enough to make three mouthfuls of rice.

Tonteki” and “heret katsu” made with Yamagata pork are no exception.
When you are about to fill up and suddenly think, “I might come back again,”
it is surely a sign that you are satisfied.

A local restaurant, but “going out of one’s way” suits this place!

While some regulars stroll through the doors of
, others come from far away
to stay overnight just to eat the shrimp croquettes.

It is strange to hear this story, but I can’t help but nod my head in agreement.
It is nostalgic, yet new.
It’s my first time here, but I feel like I’ve been here before.

That is the kind of taste you will find here.

Someone is looking forward to it again today.

A place where you can say you like what you like.
A place where you can stop by on a whim and eat a hearty meal.
Such an ordinary thing becomes a little bit special here.

W estern-style restaurant “Kinokuniya ” is not a place for sightseeing, but a place that is a part of your daily life.

For example, in the afternoon when you want to feel uplifted.
For example, on a day when you don’t have much to do but want to go out for a while.

I think
that is enoughreason to go out for western food.
