Ginger grilled set meal

I had “Dorameshi” at the Hanyu Parking Area on the Tohoku Expressway. By the way, “Dorameshi” refers to a meal eaten while driving or a meal worth driving for. It’s my own definition.

As usual, I parked on the side of the local road and entered through the walk-in gate. It was around 11 a.m., so the food court was empty as usual. The menu here is abundant with set meals, ramen, and soba noodles, so I always have trouble deciding, but this time I settled on the ginger grilled set meal.

I enjoy ginger grilled dishes, so I’ve had them in various places, but is this one really delicious? It’s always the same when trying something for the first time, a mix of expectation and anxiety. To cut to the chase, it was delicious. There are generally two types of ginger grilled dishes, using either loin or pork belly, and this one used my favorite, pork belly.

Pork belly is truly the best for ginger grilled dishes! The seasoning was solid, and it paired exceptionally well with rice. When you pick up the meat with chopsticks and place it on the rice, the sauce and meat fat soak into the rice, making it incredibly delicious. Just thinking about it makes me hungry.

There was grated ginger on top of the meat, which I haven’t seen elsewhere, so it might be a new pattern. When you eat it with grated ginger, the fragrance spreads, but personally, I’m fine with or without it. Also, the portion was just right, not too much or too little.

It was truly a dish that makes you want to eat it again.
