Mugitoro Kaminarimon Restaurant - Asakusa Tokyo
Tororo bukan Totoro
Mugitoro - Tororo Rice with Grated Yam |
Alkisah sekitar 200 meter
dari hotel
tempat saya menginap di Asakusa bersama Eni dan ortu, kita bertemu
dengan tempat makan satu ini.
Beberapa
hari sebelumnya memang kita sempat bahas kalau tempat makan enak itu pasti
antri. Bahas di sini maksudnya si Eni ngomelin saya karena malas ikut ngantri
di tempat makan populer 😅
This eatery is located around 200 meters from
our hotel
in Asakusa Tokyo, where I stayed with Eni and my parent last
December.
A few days ago we coincidentally discuss that a good
& popular eatery would always have lines in front. Discuss here means that
Eni berates me about my lack of enthusiasm to queue on such eateries

Resto Mugi Toro ini pada saat makan siang dipadati oleh pengunjung
yang mengantri, tidak kurang dari 20-30 orang yang duduk antri di luar resto.
This
Mugi Toro restaurant have a very long line outside, with around 20-30 people
queuing. So much so, that they provide plenty of comfortable seating outside
for people queuing.
Akhirnya kita melewati tempat ini
dan melihat ramainya antrian. Berhubung baru saja dibahas tentang tempat makan
enak kudu antri, saya tidak keberatan ngantri di resto satu ini dengan tertib.
So long story short, we saw the queue, got here, and I
didn't (can't) 🤐 object much to queue outside this eatery.
Kita menunggu dengan sabar selama
20 menit untuk bisa masuk, setelahnya kita disambut dengan ramah memasuki
tempat makan yang amat nyaman. Staf di sini memberi petunjuk tentang biaya dan
tata cara makan di resto AYCE ini.
We patiently waited around 20 minutes to get in. once
in we were greeted with a cozy eating place. The warm staff explained to us,
albeit in broken English, but still quite easy to understand, on how to pay,
where to get the buffet, and other details.
Mugi Toro - Tea |
Begitu masuk, kita diminta untuk
membayar 1000 yen per orang, cukup dimasukkan dalam kotak uang mereka, lalu
melenggang ke kursi tempat makan.
Once inside the eatery, we're expected to pay 1000 yen
for each person, and the way you pay, is putting it inside this box in front of
the eatery. Afterwards we're whisked away to our table.
Mugi Toro - Water |
Minumannya tidak ada yang menarik,
hanya teh dan air. Tapi rasa tehnya di sini enak, bikin kangen untuk kembali
lagi mencicipinya.
Drinks aren't fancy, but they both tastes fine. Love
the taste of Japanese Tea
Mugi Toro - Miso Soup |
Mugi Toro - Tororo, Grated Yam |
Hidangan utama di sini, atau
bintang restonya adalah Tororo. Hidangan ini dibuat dari Ubi yang diparut, lalu
entah diapakan lagi atau sekedar diparut saja, hasil akhirnya seperti bubur
sagu tapi berlendir.
Rasanya
ada sedikit asin dan enak, ada kemiripan rasa dengan Natto (kedelai fermentasi
jepang) tapi tanpa bau menyengat, dan mirip juga dengan tekstur sayur Ocra
This is the main attraction of the eatery, Tororo.
It's grated Yam, which I'm not sure if they only grated it, or put seasoning
etc.
It has slimy texture, similar to Natto, the fermented
soy bean, or Ocra vegetable.
Doesn't have strong odor like Natto though, and this
tastes a tad salty.
Walau saya pertama paling keberatan
(minimal dalam hati) kalau harus antri untuk makan di tempat ini, ternyata saya
yang akhirnya paling suka dengan rasa masakan di Mugi Toro ini.
Sedangkan
kedua ortu saya tidak terlalu doyan, sedangkan Eni yang mengusulkan ke tempat
ini malah sama sekali tidak suka
🤢
Here's the irony, at first I objected (at least in my
mind) having to queue in any eatery. Much less so on something we don't know
much about like this particular case.
Turns out I'm the one liking the food best, my parents
just think it's so-so, whilst Eni that suggested the eatery, despise it
🤣

Di Surabaya sendiri saya hanya
ketemu satu tempat yang menyediakan Tororo, di Ootoya Tunjungan Plasa.
Saat saya membahas Ootoya ddan Tororonya di Facebook dan Instagram, banyak yang mengira nama makanan ini adalah Totoro. Kucing gendut jepang andalan Studio Ghibli

In Surabaya, there's only one place that sells the
same Tororo dish, which is the recently opened Ootoya in Tunjungan plaza.
I bring up the Tororo dish on my social media post, in Instagram and facebook, and my friend thought I'm talking about this famous japanese cat? which is an icon of Ghibli studio, Totoro

The dish is called Tororo, no similarities to Totoro above |

Kalau menurut saya, makanan ini mungkin setipe pete di negara
kita. Tidak semua orang suka, tapi yang doyan pasti ketagihan. Saya sendiri
merasa, ini salah satu makanan paling enak saat ke Tokyo, walaupun kita sudah
coba berbagai macam makanan terkenap, yang biaya makannya juga sampai 2x lipat
resto ini, tetap kenangan di resto ini buat saya lebih kuat
In
my opinion, this dish is similar to Indonesian stink bean, or Durian for you
westerner. They're loved by some people, hated by the rest, an acquired taste.
For
me, this is the best dining experience I had in Tokyo, since I really like the
funky taste and texture.
Despite eating at popular restaurants around Japan, costing more than twice of this restaurant, I still found Mugitoro as my most enjoyable dining experience.
