A Fukuokan's Notes from Sapporo

Today I literally ate out for the first time in a while (though I have had al fresco coffee breaks with some nibbles quite often in the same period).

On my way to Bookoff to pick up the books I ordered online,  I dropped in at a butcher and Korean barbecue restaurant and bought a bento that I had been dreaming.

I bought the cheapest bento (680 yen, including tax) and ate it in the park in front of the store.

With the generously served meat, the meat layer was as thick as-if not thicker than- the rice layer underneath, and heavy seasoning, even the smallest size was a bit more than enough for my 50++-year old digestion system. I might have to skip my dinner tonight. I think this was a bento to enjoy the impact, not to appreciating sophisticated taste and flavor. I would be a big fan of it if I were in my early 20s. 

I must mention about some nice things: even though it is a busy shop where there are always lines in front of it, the staff members were nice and attentive. 

Cons: There was a kind of dog-eat-dog world when it comes making an order. In other words, some shouted their orders behind the line and some got too close to each other. The shop itself was not doing anything wrong, but it might not be a place for an old-fashioned person who expects civilization at lunchtime.
