About this place
Beef, Chinese cabbage, spring onion and wheat gluten: Miyako Shokudo’s “meat hot pot with rice” brings together a pot of ingredients simmered in a mildly sweet broth and a bowl of rice. One visitor described the flavour as somewhere between nikusui, a light meat broth, and sukiyaki. The wheat gluten, having soaked up the broth, should be especially good with rice. The menu lists it as “meat hot pot with rice”, making it a hearty choice centred on a hot pot. Beer is also available, so you can make it a filling lunch or enjoy the hot pot as something to eat alongside a drink.
For a lighter meal, turn to the udon and soba menu. It ranges from simple bowls such as kitsune and egg-drop udon to kakiage udon, beef udon and nabeyaki udon. A diner who tried the nabeyaki udon remembered its piping-hot broth, topped with an egg, and its soft, smooth noodles. It is another option for a warming, substantial meal. Curry udon, Chinese-style noodles, rice bowls and set meals are also on offer, giving the place the breadth of a neighbourhood diner rather than limiting the choice to udon. It works for solo diners, and table service is available.
In the calm surroundings, you can settle in for a hot pot with rice or a bowl of udon, depending on your appetite and mood. Miyako Shokudo offers options for both. The restaurant is listed as accepting cash only, so it is worth bringing some along.
