    This is a shop for charcoal grilled pork bowls, the local specialty of Obihiro. In the vast and spacious store, besides counter and table seats, there are also small tatami mat rooms, making it a place friendly to those with small children or seniors. The pork bowls use roasted meat from Hokkaido that is light and not fatty. Enjoy it with two secret sauces for an unforgettable deep flavor.

    Gunma Pref. Tonegunminakamimachi Shimomoku Party 1016
    A 14 minute walk from Jomo-Kogen Station. Located right next to Roadside Station Tsukiyono-Yaze Shinsui Park, this takeout-only restaurant serves “mushiyaki” steamed and baked chicken. Using only domestic chickens no older than 50 days, Takahashi no Wakadori has provided the same, delicious secret sauce flavored chicken since it first opened. The restaurant’s chicken is cooked without any additional water, using the meat’s own moisture content to steam it, creating a juicy and light flavored chicken. Particularly popular menu choices include the meaty mushiyaki chicken on the bone and the boneless teriyaki chicken.

They're known for their specialty Sonroku Salad-yaki which takes the dough from Imagawa-yaki and fills it with radish, ham, and mayonnaise before baking it.

  • Egaki Kamaboko Store
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Shimane Hamada Asahimachi 1426-4
    This venerable kamaboko fish cake shop was founded in 1912. They serve the Hamada iconic food Akaten in a charming shop full of history. Akaten is marked by its red color, and is made from ground fish like pollock flavored with chili peppers and then fried. Fried up in a bread crumb coating, its spiciness makes it the perfect dish with rice, and a fantastic snack with alcohol. In addition to being featured in all kinds of news media, the dish received the flavor stamp of approval of famed French chef Kiyomi Mikuni and was selected for his Mikuni Marche line.

    Yamanashi Kofu Kawadamachi 487

    ブドウ狩りに行った際、店の人に勧められて行った。駐車場は広くお店も中に入ったら色々な席がありかなり広い。メニューを見たらいろいろ載っているが、あっさりしているものが食べたかったので、わさび蕎麦を注文した。かなり混んでいたのでしばらく待たされたが、蕎麦は色黒で太めの田舎蕎麦風のが二盛りと生わさびが2本もついたものが出てきた。蕎麦や麺汁は普通だが生わさびが2本とわ、その分だけ安いと感じた。

    Okayama Maniwa-shi

    仕事の用事で蒜山に寄った際、お昼時に訪問しました。 相変わらずの人気ぶりで、店内はコロナの影響も感じない程賑わっていました。 私は、焼きそばの上に目玉焼きがのっている『あさぜん焼きそば』を注文。 焼きそばの美味しさは変わらず、蒜山焼きそばの名店は健在でした。

    屋台風のたたずまい。小さ目の入口からもぐりこむように店内に入ります。名物は 静岡おでん。こんにゃくは田楽のように みそ仕立て アツアツをいただきます。ちょっと濃いめのソウルフードでした。

    Aichi Nagoya-shi Atsuta-ku Kanayamacho 1-2-19

    Very small restaurant - mainly counter seats and all the way in is a room with two tables, each able to take in 4 to maybe 6 (squeeze). Guess you have to try the iconic Eel and Rice in a Pot...

    Akita Daisen-shi

    十文字ラーメンといえば、十文字まで足を向けなければならないが、面倒な人はここですますことができる。とはいえ、林泉堂はCMうってるだけあって結構うまい。 ラーメンに麩が載っており、あっさりした味。 素朴な味が好きな方にはオススメ。そして、スープを飲み干して、器の底に当りが描かれていると無料券がもらえるとのこと。
