A Long-Awaited Comeback! Revisiting Densetsu no Sutadonya
The fried rice at Densetsu no Sutadonya used to be one of my personal favorites, but after it was quietly discontinued, I had not visited for quite a while. Hearing news that it had finally returned, I couldn't resist stopping by the restaurant after such a long time.
Stepping inside, it seemed many fellow diners were also ordering the fried rice items—perhaps spurred by a limited-time 100-yen discount campaign running during my visit. Seeing its enduring popularity firsthand, I promptly bought my ticket at the vending machine and waited for my order to arrive.
Classic Look and Hearty Portions: The Fried Rice (¥930 Incl. Tax)
Before long, the fried rice was served (¥930 including tax; discounted to ¥830 during the campaign), marking my reunion with this beloved dish. Generously mounded onto a flat plate just like old times, the sight brought back a rush of nostalgia. Even the regular portion is remarkably substantial, delivering the truly satisfying size expected of hearty Japanese comfort food.
Taking the first bite with the spoon, the texture is pleasantly moist rather than overly crumbly or dry. A punchy, slightly heavy kick of salt and black pepper hits just the right spot, making it hard to put down the spoon. With its straightforward, bold flavor, it never gets tiring and can be devoured in one go. Thanks to the generous volume, you will be thoroughly satisfied even without adding extra toppings.
