From the 2800yen full course lunch. Pasta is Peperoncino with green chilli. Main dish is oven-grilled chicken. The chicken is not bad while the appetizer and the pasta are just okay. Portion is small.

The quality of food is not that fantastic but the location is great - very near Shibuya station but since it is on the 3rd floor of a building and the entrance is hard to spot, it is never full. The view by the window is great too.
Lunch menu(J) here.

冷汁定食、¥1200。
Miyazaki’s specialty Hiyajiru - cold, soybean paste soup with dried bonito, sesame and other ingredients. The Hiyajiru is very nice with rice. So nice that I always eat two bowls. Set lunch comes with Chicken Nanban and grilled fish. Chicken is delicious but the fish can be a little dry sometimes.

Hiyajiru again.

This popular shop is always overcrowded at lunch time and you’ll most likely have to share seating with strangers.
Lunch menu(J): 1, 2.
