Established in 1927, the "Yoshiume (3.49)" store department offers a variety of dishes including Thai cuisine like Yam Woon Sen Salad (450 yen) and Shrimp and Clam Coconut Milk Curry (700 yen). When asked, the female staff mentioned that the most popular item is the bento box, followed by the curry set. The Yoshiume Bento (1,600 yen) and the Shrimp and Clam Coconut Milk Curry (700 yen) were sampled and reviewed as follows: Yoshiume Bento (1,600 yen): The main dish can be either Saikyo Yaki with amberjack or golden eye snapper (chosen the golden eye snapper). The 1,100 yen Yoshiume Bento has a half-size Saikyo Yaki. It comes with side dishes like salad, tamagoyaki, simmered dish, pickled vegetables, simmered bamboo shoots with minced meat, etc. The piping hot white rice topped with white sesame seeds is a nice touch. However, despite the high expectations due to being a designated tangible cultural property of a long-established Japanese cuisine restaurant, the 1,600 yen bento box was only delicious to a normal extent, lacking that special feeling. While it is more refined and tasty than a 600 yen convenience store bento, if it's Saikyo Yaki you're after, "Kyokasuzuke Uokyu" would suit the author's taste better, and the same goes for the other side dishes. Shrimp and Clam Coconut Milk Curry (700 yen): This Thai curry has a base made from shrimp shell broth. It contains peeled shrimp, clams, tomatoes, onions, and chili, with the unique creamy richness of coconut milk. It's unclear whether it's made by a Japanese or Thai person, but it tastes like a fusion of "sawani" and Thai curry, emphasizing umami and having a mild spiciness compared to locally made Thai curry. It's delicious as a rice accompaniment or even as a standalone dish (though jasmine rice would be a nice addition). If there's a chance to revisit, it would be better to go for the curry or Yam Woon Sen rather than the bento box, and the curry can be reheated and enjoyed as a "soup."

I had lunch near the company. I went from Ningyocho to Mitsukoshi direction on Kinza Street around 12:10 on a weekday, and I was able to enter without waiting. I purchased a "tuna rice bowl" (1000 yen). You can eat what you bought on the first floor in the eat-in corner on the second floor. The rice and tuna are separated into two containers, so you can serve them yourself. This prevents the tuna from spoiling due to the heat of the rice, which I think is a good idea. When I hear 1000 yen, it honestly feels expensive, but eating in the shop would be even more expensive, so I guess this is how it is.

Yoshi Ume's shop has a dining area! I was drawn in by the sign and decided to visit. I ordered the spinach and chicken curry for 1,000 yen. Even though it's a small shop, it was secretly one of the four places I wanted to visit in Ningyocho, so I was a little happy. It came out in just 2 minutes. The dining area doesn't transfer the food onto a regular plate, they just heat up the takeout container. Ah, I see, that makes sense. But the curry was very spicy and the side dishes were delicious, so I was satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

Lunch at Yoshiume Bento for 1,000 yen. The main fish dish is Spanish mackerel. It has a healthy lineup and a reliable seasoning. It may feel a bit expensive considering the portion size and number of items, but when you factor in the Yoshiume brand, it's understandable. I'd like to visit the main store someday.

After getting off the elevator at exit A6 of Ningyocho Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, turn left and pass the first alley. You will find a shop at the corner of the next narrow alley. This shop sells various dishes such as Yoshiume's bento, and you can either take out or eat in on the second floor. I ordered the "Spinach and Chicken Curry" as the main dish, along with a "Side Dish Set," a "Drink" (Cappuccino), and a "Dessert" (Espresso Brulee). The curry was served separately after being heated, while the other items were brought to the table by the staff. The curry had an authentic taste for a Japanese-style restaurant, with a noticeable difference in flavor compared to the side dishes. I started with the curry and then enjoyed the side dishes to balance the flavors. The dessert also had a good taste on its own, so it might be better to eat it as a takeaway.

I visited the restaurant around 12:30 on Wednesday. I bought a lunch set for 500 yen and miso soup for 200 yen at the first-floor shop. I enjoyed my meal on the second floor. The portion of rice and side dishes was light. The miso soup with clams was delicious.

I'm not sure about the pricing, but I had a meal with mixed rice and a deli dish for 900 yen. I chose the shrimp and scallop Tajine for the deli dish. Is Tajine cooked the same way as in a Tajine pot? Even in Morocco, Tajine for lunch is made in a big pot. So, I went with Tajine. The taste of tomatoes and Japanese-style flavors was gentle and nice, even though there was no wind from the Sahara. Why did I go to Morocco in the middle of summer? Maybe because I was young. It was so hot.

I went to eat a South Indian buffet in Nihonbashi today. On the way back, I stopped by Ningyocho, where there are many well-known restaurants. I decided to buy some snacks for drinking at night. Although Yoshiume is famous for its delicious curry, I was intrigued by something called Gapao Salad, so I decided to try it. It cost 600 yen including tax. I microwaved the ground pork for 10 seconds, poured it over the salad, mixed it, and then drizzled sweet chili sauce over it. The fresh vegetables were crunchy, and the flavorful ground pork was spicy. The soft-boiled egg, sweet chili sauce, and fresh vegetables combined to make a very delicious dish. It truly lived up to Yoshiume's reputation. It was so delicious that I would like to visit again. Next time, I would like to try their curry. Thank you for the meal.

When thinking about what to choose for eating in, the image of Pickled Bowl for 1,000 yen catches my eye. "This is it, it's from Ume-san after all," I think to myself. Although the description may not make it sound delicious, it actually has a light pickled taste with just the right amount of moisture from the fish. It's tasty and flavorful. It comes with three side dishes: oil-fried white radish, simmered hijiki seaweed and sweet potato tempura, and a cucumber and celery sweet vinegar salad. I feel like giving it a name that reflects its taste, like "Lightly Vinegared Rice with Sesame and Ginger Sweet Vinegar." Anyway, it's delicious and makes me smile. Eating in comes with complimentary barley tea, which is warm and tasty.

Yoshiume, a long-established high-class Japanese cuisine restaurant. Next to it, there is a Yoshiume delicatessen shop. What's more, the second floor is a cafe where you can enjoy the food you bought from the deli shop. Even if you hesitate to dine at Yoshiume, the deli shop offers affordable prices and allows you to experience a luxurious feeling. And guess what! They have curry! I bought the Chicken Tomato Curry and half rice on the first floor. They reheated it for me, and I enjoyed it on the second floor. The Chicken Tomato Curry had plenty of chicken pieces and the meat quality was quite good for the price of 600 yen. You can taste the tomatoes well, and it's like a refreshing version of the trendy Butter Chicken without the butter and with a lighter cream. The most noteworthy thing is the delicious rice. It's truly top-notch. Eating delicious curry with delicious rice enhances the taste more than double. Truly a Yoshiume quality! The restaurant has a calm atmosphere like a traditional house cafe, and when I visited during lunchtime, it wasn't too crowded, so it may not be widely known yet. A hidden gem for curry in Ningyocho.

I passed by Yoshiume Cafe & Deli while thinking about killing time at a cafe. Every time I passed by, I would think to myself, "The deli dishes at Yoshiume must be delicious." I decided to go in today. The desserts available that day were chocolate mousse and panna cotta. I chose lemon herb tea for 200 yen and pumpkin deli dish with cream cheese for 400 yen. The deli dish had cream cheese and prunes, which I initially thought were raisins. The combination of pumpkin, cream cheese, and prunes was excellent. It was delicious.

I had lunch at Menchiken and then walked from Kanda to my home in Sumiyoshi. On the way, I passed by Yoshiume Store in Ningyocho and couldn't resist the delicious-looking side dishes they had displayed outside. I decided to go in and ordered their Chirikonkan, a dish I hadn't had in a while. After a relaxing walk, I finally reached home and started preparing dinner. The Chirikonkan was made with soybeans, red kidney beans, edamame, chickpeas, green beans, onions, parsley, and ground meat. It was cooked in a tomato base, but the tomato flavor was not very prominent. The spiciness was mild, which may be good for those who don't like spicy food, but I personally felt it lacked punch. Overall, the dish was well-balanced with a gentle flavor and a good mix of beans, meat, and vegetables. It was a simple and comforting meal. Thank you, Yoshiume Store, for the meal.

The other day, I happened to stumble upon this restaurant while strolling around. Since they offer takeout, I decided to give it a try. Checking the reviews, I was surprised to find only one review from aki-shima-san! I hope my review can be of some help... (sweat) There were signs outside the shop with the following information: - Lunch Set... Lunch Box (side dishes and rice) 500 yen + A la carte (choose one) A la carte price - Mini Lunch Set... Lunch Mini (side dishes and rice) 300 yen + A la carte (choose one) A la carte price You can buy from the 1st floor store and take it home, or eat at the 2nd floor cafe. It took me quite some time to understand this system. The prices of "Lunch Box 500 yen" and "Lunch Mini 300 yen" only apply when combined with an a la carte item. So, you cannot buy just "side dishes and rice" for 500 yen or 300 yen, as you are required to purchase an a la carte item. The a la carte items vary by day and include curry, soup, salad, simmered dishes, desserts, etc., ranging from around 300 yen. Initially, I thought I could buy something for around 500 yen or 300 yen, but it turned out to be a big mistake! I was way over budget. (It was just my misunderstanding) As I was pondering what to do, I saw a previous customer buying shumai individually for 150 yen each, so I decided to buy one shumai for 150 yen along with the Lunch Mini for 300 yen. In total, it was 450 yen. (Phew!) The Lunch Mini comes in a round container with two tiers, with side dishes in the top tier and rice in the bottom tier. The rice is white rice sprinkled with white sesame seeds. There is quite a generous amount of rice. The side dishes included tamagoyaki (surprisingly not too sweet, maybe without sugar?), kiriboshi daikon (quite sweet simmered dish), marinated squid (lightly seasoned), something wrapped with burdock (tasted good but I couldn't identify it), and pickles, all seeming good for your health. If you don't want the side dishes, you can opt for an a la carte item and rice (which was around 200 yen, I think). It's a bit of a mystery if there are always a la carte items priced around 150 yen, so you might end up paying more than a regular bento box. In that case, the deal doesn't seem that great.

I knew for a while that next to Yoshiume Main Store there is a separate entrance to a deli section (referred to as a "store" on their website). About six months to a year ago, I started to notice a sign that said "Yoshiume Cafe & Deli" there, and it caught my interest. They continue to offer a variety of seafood dishes for takeout, including lunch packs and pudding for sale. You can either take the lunch pack to go or dine in at the cafe corner on the second floor. I decided to give it a try. They offer a choice between a lunch set for ¥500 or a mini lunch set for ¥300, and you can add your favorite side dishes to customize your lunch pack. I opted for the ¥500 lunch pack and added Wakasagi Nanbanzuke for an additional ¥500, making it a total of ¥1000. It felt a bit pricey. I went upstairs with a colleague to check out the cafe. The interior had a cozy cabin-like feel with a visible skeleton structure on the ceiling. The walls and floors were nicely designed with a lot of wood elements. There were a few table seats and a counter facing the window with a pleasant background music playing. It was a compact and cozy cafe with a hidden gem vibe. We opened the lunch packs and started eating. The rice was on the bottom, and while I had plain white rice, my colleague opted for seasonal mixed rice for an additional ¥100. The side dishes included tamagoyaki, simmered dishes, pickled vegetables, konnyaku, and pickles, making it a healthy meal. It felt like it lacked a main dish, so some men might want to add something extra. The portion and balance of the meal were quite good overall. The cafe had a unique old farmhouse style and a hidden gem vibe. They also offered puddings and dinner sets (¥1200 and ¥1500), as well as beer, making it suitable for various dining options. Despite sharing the same address and phone number as Yoshiume Main Store, the entrance was different, so it was registered as a separate location. I tried registering it as "Yoshiume Cafe & Deli" multiple times, but it kept coming back as "Yoshiume Store," probably because the website mentions "store." However, there is no "store" on the second floor. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

I used to be impressed by the pickled sardines I had before, but today I happened to pass by the restaurant during opening hours and decided to try the \400 pickled horse mackerel and \1,000 side dish to accompany my drink. The pickled horse mackerel was quickly devoured with its crunchy texture of dried radish and the delicious umami flavor of kelp. The acidity was just to my liking and it disappeared in no time. I love the way the pickled horse mackerel is prepared, as it allows you to eat it from head to tail.

The prices are high.
