だるま

Daruma, located on Toyooka in Iruma, offers a straightforward yet inviting setting for those seeking Japanese cuisine. Known for its popular dish featuring thick fried tofu with butter, this restaurant caters especially to solo diners looking for a simple dining experience. While it accepts reservations and provides table service, the restaurant operates on a cash-only basis, so plan accordingly. For beverage enthusiasts, Daruma serves alcohol and beer alongside its food offerings, which include small plates.

Open from 17:00 to 23:00 Monday through Saturday, and closing a bit earlier at 21:00 on Sundays, Daruma focuses on dinner service without delivery options. Despite its strengths, the restaurant may pose challenges for patrons needing wheelchair access, as there are no accessible entries or seating options. Amenities such as restrooms are available, enhancing the dining convenience slightly. Though the last review was posted seven years ago, highlighting an apparent lack of recent updates from the owner, Daruma's reputation perseveres through its flavorful offerings and a cozy dine-in environment typical of local Japanese eateries.
