I went to a restaurant in Ikejiri that I had been wanting to try and entered at 12:00 on Tuesday. I ordered the all-you-can-eat natto set meal for 850 yen. I chose two types of natto and specified the amount of rice. For the first round, I had sesame natto and wasabi natto, and for the second round, I ordered edamame natto and Hokkaido-style natto. I wanted to try hikiwari natto too, but I was too full. Personally, I thought the edamame natto was the most delicious! Next time, I think I'll go easy on the rice and eat more natto. ( ᴖ ·̫ ᴖ )

Thank you very much ^ ^ I am in Shimokitazawa. The curry town, Shimokitazawa. Today, I visited Senda-ya. Arrival time 12 o'clock. Previous customers, about 90% of the restaurant was full. There are 2 staff members. There are counter seats and table seats inside the restaurant. It's order-based. I ordered the all-you-can-eat natto and the salmon set meal (with a large portion of rice, 600g) for 1080 yen. I ate in the eat-in space at the back of the restaurant. I sat at the counter seat on the left side after entering the back. You can choose 2 out of the 8 different types of natto. I ordered the large portion of rice as I intended to try them all. It arrived in about 5 minutes. I came prepared with a stack of manga to read. Let's eat. There is a variety of natto, from standard to unique types. I also added a raw egg halfway through and finished it all. Thank you for the meal. Senda-ya. It was delicious. I couldn't enter the Ikejiri Ohashi branch last time because they ran out of rice, so I got my revenge this time at the Shimokitazawa branch. The miso soup had a normal taste, the salmon was like the salmon from a chain gyudon restaurant. Natto is their specialty, but it would be even better if the quality of the side dishes improved. Also, the attitude of the staff was not very good.

This shop that I had passed by many times, a shop that is irresistible for natto lovers! And it's all-you-can-eat natto, which is too attractive!! However... there are so many delicious shops in Shimokitazawa that I never actually stepped inside. Finally, on my solo Shimokitazawa walk day, I decided the day before that I would definitely go!! No distractions!! And finally, I went! I ordered a simple all-you-can-eat natto set meal. I struggled to choose my rice portion, but settled for a regular size. You can choose your favorite two types of natto to start with, and once you finish them, you can order more. In the end, I had 5 types of natto! They were: Kita no Sode Furi (large grains), domestically produced Hikiwari Wasabi, Hijiki, and tabletop soy sauce, karashi mustard, and two types of natto sauce were available for you to season to your liking. I wanted to try all the varieties, but I ran out of rice, so I had to resist getting more! By the way, my favorite out of the 5 types was the Hijiki natto!! It was a satisfying lunch for natto lovers!!

I went to lunch with a friend who loves natto. We ordered the all-you-can-eat salmon set with natto. We got the regular size rice. My friend was determined to try all 8 varieties, but ended up feeling full after trying 5. We had the domestic small grain natto, northern sleeve natto, edamame natto, wasabi natto, and sesame natto. I wanted to try the hijiki natto too, but I was too full to do so. It was enjoyable to try different flavors that we don't usually have. They had sauce and soy sauce available, and with the variety of natto, we didn't get bored. Personally, I thought it would be nice to have vinegar available, even if it was for an additional charge. Overall, we were very satisfied. It was delicious, so I would like to visit again and maybe buy some natto for home next time.

"Natto all-you-can-eat set meal at Sendai-ya in Shimokitazawa. Starting with big, hijiki natto, then edamame natto, and sesame natto. So delicious! My husband had the natto pork kimchi bowl. It's a place you feel like coming back to occasionally. It would be even more appreciated if the service was a bit more polite... it's a bit careless..."

I heard that there is a restaurant that offers all-you-can-eat natto, so I spent 1000 yen round trip to go there. However, even though natto is a miracle food that you can get 3 packs for less than 100 yen, the all-you-can-eat natto doesn't really offer a cost-effective deal. The rice comes in a large serving for free, but it's not all-you-can-eat. I wonder if they are worried about people eating too much? However, I'm looking forward to trying toppings that I don't usually eat and natto made with good quality beans. I arrived around 12 o'clock. There are 8 seats, but maybe because it's Saturday, there are no customers. I quickly ordered the all-you-can-eat natto and grilled salmon set for 1080 yen. It seems like the price has gone up since I last checked. I chose the large serving of 600g for free. It's supposed to be equivalent to 5 rice balls. There is a 45-minute time limit. I didn't know about this information beforehand. The set meal arrived 2-3 minutes after ordering. The rice is piled high. There are two types of natto sauce, as well as mustard and soy sauce. Natto tastes too bland on its own, so the sauce is necessary. It's a bit difficult to eat when it's piled high. I made a little well in the middle and added a little bit of natto at a time. You can only have up to 2 pieces of natto at once. In addition to natto and rice, the set meal comes with grilled salmon, miso soup, and pickles. The miso soup has a rich flavor and is delicious. I ate 8 servings, but the rice was not enough. I think I had about 7 servings of natto. But I was really full. I didn't try the large natto this time, so I ate 7 different kinds, but there wasn't much of a difference. The differences in taste and texture are subtle and more of a personal preference. Surprisingly, the addition of sesame and hijiki didn't have a big impact. Perhaps they are added to enhance the nutritional value of natto. When I was a child, my mother used to add shirasu and hijiki to natto to increase the calcium content, but it seems like they are trying to enhance the nutritional value here. And of course, natto needs sauce. It's too bland on its own and too strong with soy sauce. The natto sauce strikes a good balance that doesn't overpower the flavor of the natto. In conclusion, natto is a complete food. Even store-bought natto offers great taste and cost performance!

Ordered the all-you-can-eat salmon set with natto at Natto Workshop Sendai-ya in Shimokitazawa. You can choose 2 types of natto from 8 varieties at first, and then have unlimited refills. I chose seaweed natto and hijiki seaweed natto. The salmon didn't taste freshly grilled, and the miso soup seemed to have a mix of old and fresh seaweed, which was a bit strange. I added 2 more types of natto, but overall, I couldn't eat much. 980 yen for this is quite expensive. Maybe I should just eat natto at home.

Lunch visit. No other customers, quickly seated and ordered the grated yam set for ¥870. Started with large natto and edamame natto. Natto comes in 8 varieties for all-you-can-eat. First tried without grated yam, starting with the large natto and then the edamame. Both had a good texture and were satisfying to eat. Next, added the hijiki natto and sesame natto. When you add the grated yam partway through, it becomes even smoother. The medium rice portion is quite filling, but you can finish it quickly. Whether it's healthy or overeating is debatable, but being able to try various types of natto is a delight. Thank you for the meal.

On this day of the weekend, I went on a expedition to Shimokitazawa after a long time. At the end of Shimokitazawa Ichibangai street, I came across a direct store of a natto maker from Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture called "Sendai-ya". Among the 109 companies that are members of the National Natto Cooperative Association (Natto Ren), only two companies from Yamanashi Prefecture, including this company and "Fuji Natto Seizojo" in Otsuki, stand out. The quality of their natto is just as good as the top-rated Ibaraki Prefecture. Since I had previously bought delicious natto from a related store in Ikejiri-Ohashi, I decided to stop by. Similar to Ikejiri-Ohashi, there was a natto vending machine at the storefront, and an all-you-can-eat natto set meal was available at the eat-in space inside the store. Since I had already had lunch that day, I checked out the natto in the refrigerated case on the right side of the store. I purchased the "Fuji no Aomame" 80g for 350 yen, which is wrapped in a wooden box. "Fuji no Aomame" is made from large green soybeans from Yamanashi Prefecture, and it is the highest-priced product of this company, alongside "Kita no Sodefuri" made from the highest-grade variety of soybeans from Hokkaido. The next morning, I had a traditional Japanese breakfast with rice, miso soup, and natto, and it was delicious. The natto had a firm texture with a strong umami and sweetness from the soybeans. According to the company's website, their natto is described as wild, but in terms of texture, taste, and smell, it is not overly aggressive. I also tried natto mixed with olive oil, which was recommended to me when I bought olive oil at an Italian food store in Naka-Meguro the previous week, and it was quite a unique twist to a traditional Japanese breakfast. The cheaper Kikuma natto that I ate the next day was also quite good. The price difference may not make a huge impact on the taste.

I knew there was a store at Ikejiri Ohashi, but I didn't know there was one in Shimokitazawa. I had ramen at "Men to Mirai" and then found this place two doors down. This store, with its headquarters in Yamanashi Prefecture, has the concept of "Just Natto, but Still Natto." They make delicious natto by utilizing the environment of the Kofu Basin. It's a store that natto enthusiasts should take note of. I couldn't handle the all-you-can-eat natto set meal in the eat-in corner right after eating ramen, so I bought some to go. The brand of the store is "Sendaiya Kobutsu." I underestimated it, thinking it would be the same as natto sold in stores, but the flavor of the soybeans is strong and it's sticky. Truly natto from a specialty store. I also tried the "Waratto Natto." To be honest, I can't tell a clear difference between it and Sendaiya, but it's definitely delicious. The "Dry Natto" is crispy, crunchy, and fragrant, with the full flavor of natto in your mouth. I couldn't stop myself from reaching for more. The "Natto Furikake" has a perfect balance of freeze-dried natto and bonito flakes. I could eat three bowls of rice with this. If this store were nearby, I feel like I would end up going there every day. Next time, I'll try the all-you-can-eat option!

This year, I received the results of a health checkup that were the worst, with my cholesterol levels reaching a "requires immediate treatment" level, causing me to panic. I know it's because of my diet high in meat and fats and lack of exercise, but it's difficult to make changes... So, I decided to eat natto once a day for its health benefits. That's when I remembered this all-you-can-eat natto place. I thought that since the focus was on natto, it should be okay to eat as much as I want, right? So, I conveniently interpreted it that way and decided to give it a try. The restaurant isn't very big. The front area is where they sell natto, and the counter at the back is where you can dine in. I was tempted by the set that comes with salmon, but since it was my first time, I decided to stick with just natto. The all-you-can-eat natto set costs 815 yen including tax. The rice is free for a large portion, but refills are charged. Since my goal was natto, I thought I didn't need a large portion of rice, so I didn't ask for it. However, the bowls here are quite large, so even the regular portion was generous. There are 8 types of natto available: small grains, large grains, ground, edamame, wakame seaweed, hijiki seaweed, millet, and sesame. You can choose 2 types of natto from these. Since I learned from previous reviews that everything except for sesame is small-grained natto with added ingredients, I decided to try all types except sesame and requested 2 packs of ground natto, totaling 8 packs. As for the taste of the natto, it wasn't particularly delicious, and honestly, it wasn't something that I couldn't eat elsewhere. However, I usually prefer large grains and ground natto, so I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the small grains were. There are soy sauce, sauce, and mustard on the table, but I felt that using them would mask the taste of each natto, so I only used a very small amount of the sauces. I like mild flavors, so I enjoyed eating rice (raw egg on rice), miso soup (instant), and pickled vegetables (pickled rapeseed greens) in between the natto. One thing I thought was that each natto had green onions in it, but sometimes you might not want to eat green onions, or you might want to eat a lot of them, so it would be nice if they could serve the green onions separately on a plate. On my way out, I bought natto donuts and a snack called Kotsubu Natto, which is like rice crackers. The donuts contain natto in the dough, but I didn't really taste the natto. However, perhaps because of the natto, they were very moist and delicious. They were so delicious that I ended up eating two of them in one go as soon as I got home. They can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, so I regret not buying more. In conclusion, while some people may eat around 30 packs of natto, the average person probably won't eat that much. The rice and egg were tasty, but at 815 yen, it was a bit expensive for me. I would have been satisfied if it was 750 yen, or even better, if it was below 700 yen. Lastly, I had some minor issues with the service. The staff members chatted a lot, and sometimes they were hard to find when I wanted a refill. Also, they didn't even mention a point card, so it felt like they weren't putting much effort into customer service, which was disappointing.

Breakfast. I went to "Natto Kobo Sendai-ya" in Shimokitazawa! A shop in Shimokitazawa's Neverland where you can enjoy all-you-can-eat natto with 8 different varieties. I had the "Natto All-You-Can-Eat Set Meal" after a long time. Inside the store, there is an eat-in space where you can also buy unique natto and natto donuts. The natto vending machine is also still there! ▶︎ [Natto All-You-Can-Eat Set Meal] 740 yen (excluding tax) (Natto + rice + egg + miso soup + pickles) *Free extra rice.

Recently, there have been more customers compared to before, but if you avoid peak hours, you can enter without waiting in line. ☆ ■ Detailed blog article: https://ameblo.jp/yusuke-karube/entry-12455848364.html

Yes, yes, another day of posting on Tabelog, this time featuring my sister! She recently had a birthday and loves natto ❤️ So, not really intentional, but I decided to visit this restaurant we always go to because of her. On the first visit, I bought a natto donut as a souvenir for 1,000 yen. It's called "Natto Omame" and we shared it with my other sisters that same day. It's not fried, so it's light and fluffy. You can't really taste the natto, but it's a tasty little donut. On the second visit, I bought various natto packs as a birthday present. I got: grated daikon natto (172 yen), evening natto (172 yen), plum natto (191 yen), kibi natto (130 yen), hijiki natto (130 yen), wakame natto (130 yen), and sesame natto (130 yen). I also bought dry natto in soy sauce (500 yen) and dry spicy natto (500 yen). The soy sauce one was just like regular soybeans, you couldn't really taste the natto. But the spicy one had a distinct natto flavor that my sisters loved! They even said it would go great with beer. Overall, this natto specialty store was interesting with their unique natto and donut offerings. Thank you for the meal.

I'll go eat the all-you-can-eat natto set meal someday! I thought as months passed by... Coincidentally passing by "Sendai-ya," I already had lunch today. Those days when timing just doesn't work out... they exist, right? Yes, they do! It happens, right? It does, it does. On such days, there's an alternative plan. Today, I tried a Baked Natto Donut - Plain for 130 yen. Have you ever had a baked donut? The dough is lighter than fried ones, and it has a moist texture with a fluffy feel. Oh, wait, there's a slight stringy sensation in my mouth! Yes, natto exists in this donut. (It's made more moist and fluffy with natto bacteria.) I'll go eat the all-you-can-eat natto set meal someday! I thought as more months passed by... Those days when timing just doesn't work out... they exist, right? Yes, they do! It happens, right? It does, it does. Today, I'll do what I can do. I'll go eat the all-you-can-eat natto set meal next time! I thought as more months passed by... Those days when timing just doesn't work out... they exist, right? Yes, they do! It happens, right? It does, it does. Even so, by doing what I can do today, will I be able to break free from the "infinite loop" of donuts and finally enjoy the all-you-can-eat natto set meal?
