Miyoshiya

Passing through the noren curtain at the entrance reveals an extensive spread of dishes posted across the walls and menu. Located in Tateishi, Katsushika Ward, Miyoshiya (三好弥) is a traditional teishoku diner where guests can tuck into hearty, satisfying meals in an unpretentious neighborhood atmosphere. With a lineup spanning set meals, rice bowls, noodles, and sizzling teppan dishes, browsing the menu to match your mood is part of the pleasure.

For a hearty lunch, reliable choices include katsu curry pairing a freshly fried cutlet with spicy roux, or the classic shogayaki (ginger pork) set meal. Served on a single plate alongside salad, the katsu curry delivers an appetizing, nostalgic appeal. The options showcase classic diner staples that make it hard to choose, from savory hot-plate offerings like teppan yakiniku and teppan shogayaki to deep-fried horse mackerel set meals and katsudon.

The appeal lies in enjoying relaxed, everyday meals, even in the pleasant pause while waiting for a freshly prepared tray to arrive. Come evening, it easily doubles as a casual drinking spot, pairing bottled beer or ocha-hai with small plates such as pork kimchi, kushikatsu skewers, and stir-fried vegetables. Whether for an unhurried midday meal or a hearty dinner on the way home from work, it is a dependable neighborhood stop that welcomes diners without ceremony.
