いぶし銀子
Originally, there was a soba restaurant that I loved at the place where a Western-style restaurant opened (Matsushita-san moved). I had been curious about it for a long time, but I always ended up deciding between soba or ramen for lunch...and eventually forgot about it. I remembered it today, January 3rd, only to find out that all the soba restaurants are closed on this day. By the way, I had ramen yesterday. So today, I wanted something other than ramen, especially after eating so much sashimi during the New Year's holidays. Sushi train is out of the question. If I miss today, when will I have the chance to come to Shikimi Grill for Western food again?! This is my first time having Western food in Obihiro!! I arrived early at 11:30, but the place was already almost full. I had to wait for a while (which is understandable). My husband ordered the Focaccia Set for ¥1300, and I ordered the Roast Beef Bowl for ¥1000. The restaurant was packed, with people even waiting in their cars. We had to wait quite a bit (which couldn't be helped). My husband's Focaccia Set included Tokachi beef red wine stew, roast beef, pork sausage, and vegetables. It looked really delicious!! He was happily munching on the Focaccia. I always think this, but no matter where we go, my husband's food always arrives first. Why does the person who eats faster always get their food first...? The situation was such that by the time I had eaten more than half of my food, his food still hadn't arrived. I was complaining, thinking it would come after I finished eating, and sure enough, it did. So, I felt like I had to eat quickly, and by the time I had eaten about half, I thought, "Hmm? How does it taste?" This Roast Beef Bowl is recommended for women. Men should probably avoid ordering it. To put it plainly, it's a salad bowl!! You have to finish off the abundant vegetables before you can get to the roast beef and rice!! Whether you like it or not, you end up eating a lot of appetizers first. For vegetable lovers, it's irresistible, but for those who were expecting the usual meat, egg yolk, and rice, they might be disappointed. After eating the roast beef, there were so many vegetables that the meatiness was lost, and it felt more like a salad bowl. It was delicious, healthy, and my body was probably happy after the New Year's holidays, but it was cold. I wanted something warm. That's my impression. If I go again, I'll probably order a hot steak or hamburger. But by the time I finished eating, and with my husband waiting patiently, I felt like this might be a place to come with my female friends...I initially thought of having soft serve ice cream for dessert, but due to the crowdedness, the strong desire to get out quickly overpowered, so I gave up this time. Considering it was January 3rd, it might not be possible to relax anywhere. If it were a normal day where I could relax, I think I could have enjoyed it more. It's a bit disappointing, but if I have the chance, I'll come again.
