How many years has it been, Kashan? I often pass by the front of the store, but it's often not during business hours. Even when I think about going, the curtain is not out. When that happens, the memory fades away... the curtain is up!!! This time it was past 2 pm. I remembered vaguely and decided to go. However, I thought they would probably say it's already closed if I entered. That's how I felt. I went for the first time in 5 years!!! How will it rank today??? If the photos look delicious, please click the "↓" button!! ⇒ Try pressing it once!! This one is shaking a pot, but what is its name? It always shakes a pot. Without a break, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. What is it making? From the ingredients, it seems like sweet and sour pork... Not fried rice. But... it's sticking out its tongue, so maybe it's a meal it's eating itself... haha. Safe!! Scheduled business hours. Keep in mind, it's just a schedule haha. The lunch hours are from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The half-hour is crucial. If it was until 2 pm, I definitely wouldn't have been able to enter. Also, the last order was around 2:20 pm. But, it's just a schedule, so it doesn't mean you can always get in. By the way... the owner's handwriting is quite unique haha. The menu seems to have had some price increases. Some items have the same price, but ramen and fried rice seem to have increased by 50 yen. But considering the prices nowadays, it might still be considered cheap. If the prices were higher, customers would probably stay away. It's tough. Spring rolls for 480 yen. It increased by 10 yen from last time. I had never tried the spring rolls here. Suddenly, I felt like eating them. They were hot, crispy, and delicious. Why are spring rolls so delicious?? Before I ate the first one, I felt like I could easily eat about 200 of them... that's the feeling I had. By the way, if you order the Chinese bento here, the spring rolls are always included, but since the main dish was sweet and sour pork, I gave up on the bento. Mapo tofu for 800 yen. It increased by 50 yen from last time. Well, nowadays, 800 yen for mapo tofu doesn't seem expensive, but why do they put green peas in it?? I remember that they used to have green peas. In fact, the school lunch mapo tofu used to have them. And the taste here was so nostalgic, like the old-fashioned seasoning from the school lunches. It's completely different from the trendy Sichuan-style mapo tofu. It had that traditional taste of a popular Chinese restaurant. Fried noodles with toppings, ankake yakisoba, for 800 yen. This price increased by 50 yen. In the past, I used to think that Hottou House was the yokozuna of the east and Kashan was the yokozuna of the west. One of Kashan's specialty dishes is the ankake yakisoba. If you search for Asahikawa ankake yakisoba, this place always comes up. It has ham in it. Oh, I see, there's ham in it?? I didn't remember that at all. I don't know if it's just me, but when the ham is cut like this, it doesn't feel very Chinese to me. I hardly see ham cut into triangles except in sandwiches. So, I was a little happy. The thick and gooey sauce tasted like soy sauce, and it didn't seem to use oyster sauce. There weren't too many noodles, but quite a lot of vegetables. The balance was like 3:7 with vegetables haha. So even with a large portion, you could probably eat it up quickly. However, the noodles were slightly undercooked. I wanted a bit more crispy parts. And they were a bit soft. Taste-wise, I still prefer oyster sauce. I really like the gooey texture, but I felt like I wanted a bit more crispiness. It was over. When I noticed, I was the only one in the store. It was around 2:40 pm. I paid and left. The store was on a lunch break. Seeing a familiar store made me feel relieved, as I often do. Thank you for the meal.
