01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A lunch tray laden with a main dish, a deep bowl of rice, miso soup, pickles, and several small vegetable sides is one of the greatest pleasures of Japanese home-style dining. At Oyama in Nakagawa, Adachi Ward, many regulars head straight for the daily teishoku sets, which feature a choice of meat or fish flanked by comforting simmered dishes and salads. Another lunchtime favorite is the simmered motsuni offal stew, rich in savory flavor and generously portioned to complement a hearty portion of rice.
The wider set-meal menu covers steadfast diner classics such as ginger pork teishoku, yakiniku, and pan-fried gyoza. Noodle options, including tanmen and chashu ramen, appear alongside rice dishes such as katsu curry and standard curry rice, giving diners plenty of flexibility depending on their mood.
With its unassuming table seating, the dining room has an unhurried atmosphere that welcomes solo diners. Beyond everyday lunchtime meals, the shop also suits an easy evening drink paired with small snacks and beer on days when evening service is held.
