Otoraya Shokudo

A straightforward canteen in Oita where prices have barely moved since 1980 and a full meal costs under 500 yen. The menu covers the essentials: udon in hot broth with beef and green onion, curry plates including katsu curry, and rice bowls like katsudon and oyakodon. Everything is simple and honest. The restaurant is easy to spot by the plastic food display outside the entrance. It is exactly the kind of place you will walk past wondering who eats there and then eat there twice.
