Gyudon instead of ramen, with three toppings added

Honestly Mentsuru City Hall Branch is a ramen spot so I wanted ramen, but I have to watch my sodium so I settled for gyudon instead — and it turned out to be such a perfect choice~~ Since I was hungry, the orders spiraled... I kept adding sides. Added pork belly chashu, sous-vide pork belly, egg — and it was all so delicious ㅠㅠㅠ This place is genuinely a great restaurant, so if you're heading to City Hall, definitely visit!

What does the handmade gara-age taste like?

The handmade gara-age arrives~ The gara-age at Mentsuru City Hall Branch isn't store-bought — it's made in-house, which made it even more delicious and I loved it! Sometimes when you order gara-age it's dry and clearly frozen, sometimes even a bit smelly, but this is genuinely the best gara-age of my life! Dipped in the mayo sauce, it was twice as good~~
