01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The pork is grilled until fragrant, then coated in a sweet-and-savoury sauce. The pork rice bowl that has become a signature at Haraniwa Komachi in Azumabashi stands out for what accompanies the meat: brown rice rather than white. The distinct texture of the grains meets the sauce’s fragrant flavour, making for a satisfying bowl that is still easy to keep eating. It is also served as a set meal with salad and miso soup, a reassuring option for an everyday meal.
Pork bowls with seasonings and toppings to suit your mood
Beyond the classic pork bowl, there is a range of seasonings to choose from. Options include a ginger pork bowl with a bright, fresh flavour; one topped with grated daikon for a lighter taste; and richer miso, spicy miso and kimchi versions. There is a flavour to suit the mood of the day. For something more substantial, there is also a stamina pork bowl; toppings such as a soft-cooked egg or pickled plum let you tailor the flavour.
A casual place to drop in for lunch or dinner
The dining room has a relaxed, casual feel, making it an easy place to eat alone at lunch or stop for dinner on the way home from work. The menu also includes dishes such as a weekly chicken plate. For an unhurried evening meal, there are alcoholic drinks including beer. For a filling, unfussy and warming meal while exploring the Honjo-Azumabashi area, Haraniwa Komachi is a reassuring option.
