Hyakkiro

A broad mound of finely shredded cabbage topped with a generous portion of salt-seasoned stir-fried pork defines Chōsenyaki Rice, the dish that brings many diners to Hyakkiro. The crisp cabbage and savory pork demand hearty bites of white rice, while the accompanying set—2 pan-fried gyoza, a small plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of hot soup—elevates an everyday meal into something notably generous.

Beyond the signature set, the menu follows the comforting rhythm of retro machi chūka eateries: plump wontons bobbing in wonton-men, hearty meat-topped noodles, Chinese-style curry rice, and omelette rice. Ordering noodle dishes often brings dumplings along as well, making this a reliable spot when a substantial meal is in order.

A short stroll from Kami-Nakazato Station, the compact dining room is arranged primarily with 4-person tables, where sharing with other diners during busy lunch hours is customary. The shop operates Monday through Friday across daytime and evening services and closes on weekends. With payments handled strictly in cash, having yen on hand before taking a seat is recommended.
