A pretty popular lunch spot in MBC, Kaisen Ichi serves up a decent selection of Donburi, Chazuke and Udon. And especially since I am currently working in the area, the bowls also perform well to satisfy my sudden craving for Japanese food.

With a slightly smaller portion to the no-frills donburi offered, their Dashi Chazuke comes with a pitcher of Green Tea Soup and runny onsen egg. To be eaten all together and have the rice steeping in the stock, I like having my Una Chazuke dry in the beginning and slowly adding in the tea bit by bit cause I like the salty-crunchy ‘arare’, tiny rice cracker pellets or crumbled rice crackers along with the shredded nori.

A good rainy day comfort food. The light stock also serves to tie the elements together and the balanced blend would be great to have alone as well. At $12 each, there is nothing much to complain about.
