Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture is a treasure trove of jumbo menus that only those in the know are aware of! Thanks to an initiative by the Regional Cooperation Council for the Chamber of Commerce, restaurants around JR Iwaki Station are offering large portions at reasonable prices
In this article, we will introduce seven recommended restaurants in Iwaki City that offer jumbo menus. This is a must-see for big eaters and those with growing children
At the local restaurant "Machi Chuka Nonki," the "Mini Nokkedon" is a huge portion with 5 cups of rice. And as it's called a mini, there are also menus for big eaters, such as the Nokkedon Mini Special and the Nokkedon Special (16kg).
Although there is a time limit for finishing the service menu items, including the mini nokkedon, if you can finish it all, it is an incredible deal at just 1,000 yen
Another appealing feature is that although it is called Chinese, it offers a wide variety of rice dishes, including the "Omurburger," which is an omelet rice topped with a whole hamburger steak
At the traditional coffee shop "Office," their "Omurice" is a very popular menu item. It consists of six cups of ketchup rice topped with a soft, runny omelet
It also comes with salad, miso soup, and coffee for a reasonable price of 800 yen. If you feel like you can't finish it, they will adjust the amount of rice if you request it in advance
On your first visit, you can only order a regular size, but from the second time onwards, you can order a large portion for an additional 100 yen. If you're confident in your stomach, why not give it a try?
Soba Hachi's large serving menu item is the Jumbo Squid Tempura Soba. The squid tempura is 30cm long, so you can either cut it into pieces with scissors or bite into it whole
It contains two servings of soba noodles in a light, refreshing broth, so it's recommended for people who can't eat a large portion weighing in kilograms but still want to eat their fill
Another plus is that it's easy on the wallet, costing just 600 yen (tax included)
"B-class gourmet restaurant Taisho" in Yoshimacho, Iwaki City
"B-class Gourmet Restaurant Taisho" is a long-established restaurant loved by locals, and the recommended dish is the "Jumbo Special Spicy Yakiniku Bowl."
The rice alone is a heavy bowl, weighing nearly 1 kilogram, and the meat and vegetables on top of the rice are 2.5 times the usual amount
You can also increase the amount of rice and noodles you order from large, jumbo, or jumbo special. The jumbo special is a huge portion with 900g of rice and 2.5 times the amount of side dishes, so if you're a big eater, you might want to give it a try
"Restaurant and Drinking Restaurant Wa" in Shikuracho, Iwaki City
At the port restaurant "Oshoku Sakadokoro Nagomi," you can enjoy the "Mega Seafood Bowl," which is piled high with seafood. Not only is it quite filling, but it's also surprising that it's packed with tuna, salmon, salmon roe, shrimp, and more, all for just 1,500 yen (tax included).
Apparently there is also an even better Giga Seafood Bowl, so if you're confident in your stomach, why not give it a try?
Cafe House Cavalluccio, Suwahara, Hiranuma, Iwaki City
The super-large portion menu item at Cafe House Cavalluccio is the Dream Jumbo Parfait. Reservations are required, and the parfait weighs approximately 5kg, enough for 4-5 people
Other Western dishes on the menu include hamburgers, pilaf, and doria, all of which are highly rated for their excellent taste. The baked cheese spaghetti is particularly tasty and filling
Shiratoya Confectionery Shop, Yoshimamachi, Iwaki City
The highlight of Shiratoya Confectionery is a gigantic cream puff measuring 30cm in diameter and weighing over 1kg. It is an extraordinary size and weight
The crispy choux pastry, rich custard cream, and lightly sweet, refreshing fresh cream are a perfect combination, making for a flavor you'll never tire of
