  • Katsudon (Pork Cutlet Donburi),

  • Kaisendon (Seafood Donburi),

  • You will order Gyudon?

  • Yes.

  • Hirado Gyudon?

  • Yep!

  • OK. With a set?

  • Yeah, i can get a set.

  • When the meals arrived they were hot and steamy.

  • And looked absolutely delicious.

  • The Hirado Gyudon beef was so tender and had a very hearty flavour that went well with the egg and onion.

  • Daisuke’s katsudon was soft and moist and the mix flavour was outstanding.

  • A very delicious meal.

  • We also had the choice of two different accompanying soups

  • I went for Tonjiru which is a kind of Miso soup with pork and vegetables.

  • And Daiskue went for osuimono a clear broth with fish

  • We also received some Tsukemono, Japanese pickled vegetables with our dishes.

  • This also came with a wasabi and yuzu sauce, which really packed a punch.

  • If you ever get the chance i definitely recommend checking out a 'Donburi ' restaurant.
