This dish is a must-try for negi lovers, with plenty of Spring Negi topping the rice bowl. The special sauce and roasted pork loin combine perfectly with the flavorful negi. The Spring Negi in 下仁田 has a stronger aroma compared to regular negi, making it highly recommended. The Belly Bowl is also delicious. This limited-time menu is available from April to mid-May for 1100 yen. Don't miss out on this delicious 下仁田 delicacy made with fresh Spring Negi!

However, I found out that there is a free public parking in the town center, so I decided to go to that ramen restaurant for the first time, but unfortunately they were closed for the day. I thought the sukiyaki restaurant would have large portions, so I chose this restaurant with a high-impact name. Why is it called Eight...? Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the menu was quite limited, and the only Shimotemeda-style dish was the Shimotemeda Katsudon. The Shimotemeda Katsudon that was served had incredibly tender pork cutlet with a delicious sauce, and it had an elegant flavor profile. The portion size was also quite substantial, almost comparable to a bowl of ramen. The owners of the restaurant were very warm and welcoming, which added to the overall pleasant experience.

The cutlets were not crispy, but rather had a soft and moist coating, which was delicious. Although it is named after Shimonita, it is not a mainstream tourist spot but rather a nice restaurant filled with a local atmosphere and a sense of tradition that locals also frequent. It's a place that made me realize that simply having delicious food without any special features can be a rare find in the countryside. While the service and taste may not be as good as in the city, the fact that they do not have to pay rent and rely on tourists and event groups means that it took quite a while for the food to come out. However, the interactions with the "I'm sorry for the delay" from the owner and responses like "No problem, it was busy" are unique to individual restaurants. Thank you for the meal.
