Daddy's Kitchen

Daddy's Kitchen, as it's name implies, is another family run business serving simple home cooked set lunches and offering a full menu for dinner.
The hiragana on the sign says the same thing "Oyaji no daidokoro" - Daddy's Kitchen

Kitchen or 台所 (daidokoro) is one of those Kanji that mixes the On and Kun reading. This is called Yuto yomi or Jubako yomi. Kanji is hard enough to learn using either On or Kun readings but to mix their use is just "not nice." I'm finding it's best to learn vocabulary first, then match it up with its kanji or compound kanji.

Daddy's is open from 11:30-14:00 for lunch and 17:00-2300 for dinner. They are located a block or two East of Yokosuka Chuo station. See the blog map.

I only have their lunch menu posted below, but if you go to gnavi (a Japanese restaurant review site) you can view their entire menu online including the dinner menu. Many entries have pictures as well.

Gnavi has a lot of information available about restaurants throughout Japan. Since it is in Japanese, I've found it best to search for restaurants by their telephone number. This will always narrow it down to the exact restaurant. Just do a Google search for the phone number (in this case 046-821-3704) and you'll see a number of useful sites. Navikana is more of a mapping tool, gnavi a restaurant review site (click the different buttons to see menu (メニユー）or pictures of food or the restaurant), sukaichi.com provides basic information, and gurume-sagasu.com. Gnavi is generally the best.

So where do you get the phone number? Well you can get it from the outside of the building, on a business card or the menu after your inside, or from a general restaurant search using Google maps. Once you get the phone number you can look it up using your smartphone, find the menu (say from a gnavi page), and do a translation of the page. I explain how to do this on your smartphone at the bottom of my post on how to Remember the Kanji. There you'll see a header "Get a Smartphone page translator." Now you can get by at a restaurant with no English menu.

If a restaurant has their own website you'll often find a link to it in gnavi. Gnavi often provides coupons for printing out as well if you can figure them out.
