Yakiton [Asa-chan] / やきとん 「あさちゃん」

In March, our nephew moved into his new apartment in Oyama, a few stations away from Ikebukuro in Itabashi Ward. Now that he was settled in, we once again went to visit and had lunch with him. Close to his apartment is a really large shotengai called Happy Road which we also explored.

三月に甥っ子が完全に東京生活が始まったので、住む場所を決めたのは板橋区の大山。池袋から結構近い。ハッピーロードという有名な商店街もあり、場所的には良い。私たちもまた大山のほうに行ってまた甥っ子と一緒にランチ食べにに行った。

We might have to come here for some ice cream some time.

いずれはここでアイス食べに行こうと思った。

This time around, we picked a shop called [Asa-chan] for lunch. It is not a yakitori place but a yakiton (grilled pork) restaurant.

今回ランチに選んだ飲食店はやきとんの店「あさちゃん」。

Beer for starters!

ビールから乾杯！

This may be a yakiton place but they have yakitori on the menu as well.

やきとんがメインですがメニューにやきとりもあります。

As you can see, we ordered a few other dishes as well.

見れべわかりますが、やきとんとやきとり以外の物も注文しました。

I love these roasted garlic skewers.

個人的ににんにくが大好き。

Yep, I think we ate quite a bit on this day.

結構食べたみたいね。

食べたあとにハッピーロードの反対側に歩いた。

Ooh, another burger shop to check out in the future.

おう、また新しいバーガーショップを発見。

Another place to check out as well the next time we're in this neighborhood.

あっ、また大山に来たら気になる店がいっぱい。

Bon Appetit!

いただきます！
