This is Asukarando, writer for Sarukuma.

Today I’m thrilled to introduce a hidden gem located in
Ikegami, Nishi-ku, Kumamoto City:
“Wasai no Mise Ichiraku”.

Let me introduce Ichiraku, where the bento boxes are absolutely delicious! \(^o^)/

Ichiraku is conveniently located right by an intersection, making it easy to pull in by car. (^-^)v

The parking lot is right next to the shop. (^^)

Here’s a peek at Ichiraku’s mouthwatering menu!

From classic onigiri rice balls to small packs of side dishes, there’s something for everyone. (⌒0⌒)/~~

Grilled Mackerel Sushi: 860 yen
I went straight for this one! (^o^)/

Made with half a whole mackerel, this grilled saba sushi is seriously substantial — it became the main dish for our family dinner!

Now, time to…

Open it up!
Ta-daaa!

Look at that beautiful golden grilled finish!

The aroma of vinegared sushi rice paired with smoky grilled mackerel — pure heaven! \(^o^)/

The mackerel is thick and the perfect generous size. (*^^*)

That perfectly grilled mackerel paired with the sushi rice is just incredible!
