“Kanda Shokudo” is an old diner established fifty years ago in Akihabara, an electric town of Tokyo. The diner has served large portions since the time when the most of its customers were physical labors, and has barely changed the price since it opened!

Although it is a small old diner, it is popular among local people and tourists even from overseas. It is not just because of the portion and price, but because the dishes are so good! There are over 35 meals on the menu. The number one dish is “buta-shogayaki-teishoku,” which is ginger-fried pork set meal. The following video shows the diner and the pork meal.
