Review:
“Goichi, which I happened to come across in the heart of Odori. I ordered a half-and-half set, and the sweet and sour seasoning of Chicken Nanban, the rich tartar, and the salty rich flavor of Soy Sauce Karaage! These two flavors blended well together in one plate, so I didn’t get tired of either one. In particular, the Chicken Nanban had a perfect combination of juicy large breast meat and moist tartar, and the Soy Sauce Karaage had a crispy exterior and moist interior that went well with rice. In addition, you can refill the salad and rice + miso soup, so you don’t have to worry about the amount, and the atmosphere was great, so I didn’t feel burdened eating alone. I felt full during my trip with just this one set! Matsuyama ‘Goichi’, I really want to visit this place again 😊”
