First courses: bulgogi salad and red bean porridge
The first course was a bulgogi (marinated beef) salad.
Next up was red bean porridge~ It wasn't very sweet, so I enjoyed it!
Pollock roe omelet and domestic octopus chohoe
The third dish was a pollock roe omelet. It was fluffy and delicious haha
An octopus chohoe (vinegar-dressed dish) comes out too~~ The octopus is domestic, so we could eat it with peace of mind.
100% buckwheat zaru soba
The zaru soba (cold buckwheat noodles) is made with 100% buckwheat, and the noodles were really good.
The main dish: grilled sushi, 6 pieces
Today's main dish was the grilled sushi, 6 pieces.
The portion was bigger than I expected, and I got really full.
To finish: katsuo mini oden
The last dish was a katsuo (bonito) mini oden (fish cake stew). Finishing with a warm broth was even better.
Encounter Magongnaru dessert: the ice cream event
Encounter Magongnaru also gives you ice cream for dessert through a review event. Since Pepero Day was coming up, they thoughtfully put a Pepero stick on top of the ice cream.
