    Iwate Pref. Moriokashi Nagatachou 12-11
    An old bread shop established in 1948 in Nagata Town, Morioka City. The founder originally only developed coffee bread with the mindset of “filling the bellies of students at a low price.” The coffee bread comes in a wide variety of styles, from sweets like “red bean jam & butter”, to sides like ham and egg sandwiches, and the “Original Veggie Sandwich” —a vegetable sandwich with toppings like ground meat cutlets available. With such abundant variation, this shop has become synonymous with Morioka soul food.

    朝ごはんに家族で訪問。 8時過ぎで3組ほどの待ち。地元の皆様にも人気なのだろう。ヒトの出入りが激しかった。 朝ごはんには甘いものが食べたかったのでキャラメルをトライ。 パンがけっこう大きいので食べ終えるのに厳しいぐらいの甘さだったが、coffeeとは相性は抜群。 エビカツも一口トライしたが、これも美味! 朝ごはんかランチに再訪したい!

    盛岡の三大麺を制覇する目的もあって、それであれば発祥の店が良いと思い白龍本店に行きました。桜山神社と盛岡城址公園へ行く前に通りがかったらお昼時間でも空いていました。ところが1時間後に行くと満席の上に3人ほど並んでいました。面を茹でるのに機関がかかるようで、小さいお店ですが、開店はあまり良くないです。時間を見計らって先に注文は受け付けてくれるのでテーブルに座った後は早かったです。サイズは大中小の3種...

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
