Do you miss the full-course "kids lunch" for children with hamburger steak, fried shrimp, flagged chicken rice, dessert and toys? I don't remember eating it only a few times. When eating out, it's usually taken from the mother. Ah, I'm still longing for it, and I'm sorry ...

But it's too early to give up! I got information that "Adult children's lunch" is offered at the restaurant "Tokyo Rice" in Aoyama, Tokyo. Adults, the time has come when you can eat your children's lunch with your own money! That's why I decided to go there as well.


■ "Tokyo Rice" in Aoyama, the city of adults, right from Omotesando Station

"Tokyo Rice" is located in an alley that takes Aoyama-dori from the B1 exit of Omotesando Station. 1F is FamilyMart.


It seems that there is usually a line at lunch time, but due to the heavy snowfall the other day, I was able to enter smoothly even before 13:00.



■ The concept of "Tokyo Rice" is "adult children's lunch that makes adults excited"

"Tokyo Rice" is a restaurant with the concept of "adult children's lunch that makes adults excited". In addition to the three types of "Goku, Homare, and Takumi" children's lunches, there are plenty of lunch plates, salads, single dishes, alcohol, etc., so you can use it not only for lunch but also for dinner. This time, I ordered "Tokyo Rice" Kiwami "Children's Lunch Royal Road" (1,470 yen) from the children's lunch I was looking for.


The store has about 25 seats including tables and counters, and has a simple orange-based interior. Beyond the counter, you can watch an adult charming handsome chef bake a hamburger steak or fry a fried shrimp in the oven.



■ This is an adult children's lunch!

15 minutes to wait with excitement. What was brought in was a dream-like one plate that sighed unintentionally, "Oh!". Heart-shaped rice, hamburger steak, big fried shrimp, and even dessert. Can I eat all this alone !?



The 100% domestic pork hamburger steak, which has been carefully baked in the oven, overflows with clear gravy when you insert a knife! The fluffy, sweet and rich pork melts in your mouth.



Fried shrimp fried with a whole head is homemade tartar sauce. The sweetness of the shrimp and the sour sauce go perfectly together. The tail is really delicious.


I personally recommend Napolitan. The thick, chewy al dente pasta is entwined with a sauce that is not only sweet but also has a strong tomato taste, making it a professional taste that cannot be served at home.


Other menus include salads, bite-sized jellies, coarse sausages, crab-san wieners, and french fries. The rice is "white chicken rice" cooked with chicken soup. The perfect balance between authentic taste and playfulness. I'm too lonely to finish eating ...

The dessert is "Creme Brulee" instead of pudding. The taste of bittersweet caramel can only be understood by adults who have experience in life. The rich, smooth cream marks the end of this happy moment.


The popular Western food menu is carefully selected and placed on one plate, which is exactly the children's lunch for adults. The amount was just right for women's lunch (there is also a volume menu "Takumi" for men). It's a little expensive for lunch, but it's sure to be exciting to return to your childhood on a night when you're tired of the occasional petit luxury and adult society.
