"Kou-don(幸丼)" is an Oi-machi's local restaurant which serves Japanese style rice bowls topped with stewed and roasted pork fillet.
"Kou(幸)" means happiness, and "don(丼)" means a rice bowl.
There are two "Kou-don" restaurant in Oi-machi.
One is located near the city hall of Shinagawa-ku.
The other one(branch) is located near Mitsumata crossing.
This is Mitsumata crossing branch.
The inside is very very small.
There only three seats.
So you can take away the box you get.
Before you enter the restaurant, at first you need to buy a meal ticket from the vending machine outside.
1000yen bills and coins are available.
A typical and most recommended menu is "Kou-don bara(幸丼バラ) 690JPY" which means rice bowl with "soft" roasted pork fillet.
If you want to get it, insert money and push the button indicated with red circle above.
After you get a ticket, pass it to a staff inside the restaurant.
Then he or she will ask you whether you eat here or take away.
At this time I selected "Eat here".
The inside is very small but fortunately there is no guests except for me...
Waiting about 5 minutes, the bowl was coming.
A cup of miso soup is included.
Pork fillet is very soft and easy to cut to pieces using chopsticks.
It is deeply stewed and grilled until the surface gets slightly burned and you can feel the savory smell of roasted pork.
It is seasoned with soy sauce, garlics and various soup, topped with small pieces of welsh onion.
You can enjoy strong taste of grilled pork.
After you finish to eat two thirds of the rice and pork, you can ask a staff to add "soup" into your bowl.
This is so called "Soup-wari" in Japanese.
This "soup" is hot Japanese tea in this case.
"Wari" means the thing mixed with soup.
You can enjoy different light taste of soup and rice.
"Kou-don" restaurant serves a bowl which can be tasted in Oi-machi only.
When you have an opportunity to visit Oi-machi, I believe it is worth going.
