Fifth blog☆Becker's [ベッカーズ]

In this post I will write about 'Becker's'. It's a hamburger and bakery cafe. It's like a fast food shop, but a little different. There are various menu items and combos in this cafe.

I sometimes go to this cafe. I went there to study last week. It was very cold on that day so I ordered 'Onion gratin soup' (330 yen). It had melted cheese in it and it was thick soup. It was hot and the taste was good.
Today, I recommend the 'Shinshu game meat shika-niku burger' (690 yen). This hamburger is 'Bekkaku' so it's more expensive than other hamburgers. I thought this hamburger was a little different, but I ordered it today. I waited about  ten minutes until the hamburger was done. Game meat means edible wild birds and beasts. Venison of Shinshu and abalone mushroom from Nagano and as well as onions are in this hamburger. A soup stock of  venison and red wine are used for the sauce of the hamburger. It has acidity. I have not eaten such a hamburger before. It is a very unusual hamburger, but the taste is delicious. The meat is thick and the combination with the abalone mush room is good. This hamburger product is available for a limited time only. There are other various 'Bekkaku' hamburgers too.
In the morning, you can eat 14 types of morning combos for about 500 yen. In addition to the hamburger, it is possible to eat croissant and toast. If you go to this cafe in the afternoon, there are 9 types of combos. You can add various side menu items for about 400 yen. The various side menu items are cheap. For example, there are French fries, chicken nuggets, hashed potatoes, poutine, mini penne, salad, apple pie, chocolate pie, and so on. If you have about 300 yen, you can eat these side menu items. My favorite side menu item is poutine (320 yen). It is French fries topped with cheese curds and you can choose one sauce from the 3 type of sauce. The three types of sauce, there are meat sauce, gravy sauce, walleye Pollack sauce. This photo's sauce is gravy sauce. Poutine is Canadian food. I ate it for the first time in this cafe and now I like it.
The location of Becker's is near the JR Tsurumi Station, and it takes one minute on foot from the station. This cafe is in front of bus rotary, so it is convenient when you wait for a bus. Also, you can pay with Suica (PASMO). This cafe has a good atmosphere and you can kill time easily. If you smoke cigarettes there is a smoking room. If you want to eat various types of hamburger, please go to Becker's!!

Fourth blog☆Donmaru [ 丼丸 ]

In this post I will write about 'Donmaru'. I knew Donmaru for the first time at Tsurumi. This shop is a little different from the shops which I introduced before, but it's my favorite spot. Donmaru is a shop specializing in seafood bowls. There is no eat-in space, so it's take-out only. This shop is small, but the server is friendly. A sushi bar began this shop, and it now has shops nationwide. In this shop, there are more than 50 kinds of seafood bowls, so I can't choose an order every time. Most seafood bowls are 500 yen or 600 yen, they taste so good and you get a large volume at a low price. The server makes it after you ordrer it so you can have a fresh seafood bowl every time.
This photo's seafood bowl is 'Kaisen don' ( 500 yen ). This seafood bowl contains tuna, young Japanese gizzard shad, salmon, squid, scallop, salmon roe, and deep-water shrimp.Various types of seafood are in this and it's so good. It's the most popular seafood bowl in this shop, and it's recommended by the server. I sometimes order Kaisen don.
This seafood bowl is 'Uogashi don' ( 600 yen ). This is one of the popular seafood bowls too. This seafood bowl contains tuna, squid, salmon roe, sea urchin, minced tuna mixed with chopped green onion. Some contains seafood are different from 'Kaisen don'. I often eat this seafood bowl. I recommend Kaisen don and Uogashi don if you want to eat various kinds of seafood.
My favorite seafood bowl is 'Kani ikura don' ( 600 yen ). There is a lot of crab in it. I like crab and salmon roe. It's really delicious.

All seafood bowls are regular size. You can change the rice to a large serving for 100 yen and the sushi topping to a large serving for 200 yen. If you want to make rice and the sushi topping a large serving, you can change it for 300 yen. If your order is more than 1,620 yen, the server can deliver it to you.

When I go to this shop, some people wait for their order. This shop is popular. I think that I want this shop to have a location everywhere. This restaurant has a stamp card service, so you can get a discount.

The location of the Donmaru where I went is near the Keikyu Tsurumi station in the building next to 'Hotto Motto'. It take four minutes on foot from the station. This shop is increasing its locations steadily. If you like seafood, please go to this shop. You can find your favorite seafood bowls at Donmaru!
