Gohan to Watashi Lalaport EXPOCITY
A popular eatery known for its customizable set meals and all-you-can-enjoy rice accompaniments, perfect for pairing with freshly cooked rice.
Gohan to Watashi Lalaport EXPOCITY is a set-meal restaurant on the 2nd floor of LaLaport EXPOCITY, where you can choose your favorite main dish and build a set meal to suit your taste.
The signature “My Choice Set Meal” offers around eight options-including fried items, grilled fish, and simmered dishes. Standouts include chicken karaage finished with a special sauce made using Hakata mentaiko, and chicken nanban topped with mentaiko tartar sauce. The soup comes as a seasonal miso soup, with the option to upgrade to pork soup (tonjiru) for an additional charge. Fresh vegetables are included, completing a well-balanced ichiju-sansai set.
Other offerings include the “Gohan to Watashi no Harezen,” featuring select Kyushu specialties, and the “Yamaya Motsunabe Set” (seasonal), which lets you enjoy Hakata-style offal hot pot and Yamaya’s signature flavors.
Freshly cooked rice-known for its sweet aroma and pleasantly chewy texture-comes with all-you-can-eat rice accompaniments such as spicy cod roe (karashi mentaiko) and spicy mustard greens. A particular highlight is Yamaya’s mentaiko, marinated in its time-honored Takumi no Tare sauce, available for unlimited refills-an indulgent treat for rice lovers.
