    Akita Pref. Akitashi Omachi 4-2-25
    A local cuisine restaurant in Omachi Town, Akita City, Akita Prefecture, where one can taste Akita’s fresh seafood and mountain food. The menu is a lineup of Akita specialties including kiritanpo (mashed rice pressed on a skewer and toasted) and shottsuru (salted and fermented fish sauce), sandfish, hinaijidori (a cross between Hinai-Dori and Rhode Island Red Chickens), with kiritanpo being served with the most pride. The kiritanpo using Akitakomachi rice from the Senpoku plain is known for its sweetness and aroma, and are rolled and baked stick by stick.

Savoring the seasonal flavors is one more key feature of Tsuneya.

    久しぶりに訪れました。1Fのテーブル席を予約しました。2階で宴会が入ってて、お酒、料理等を中居さんが運んでいてバタバタしてました。調理場からは怒鳴り声が聞こえたりで、せっかくの時間が・・・・・ガッカリです。 料理も、すき焼き、うなぎを除いてはたいした事がありません。時代遅れがしました。 こんなもんでしょうか?

    旅行中日曜日のランチに予約して訪問。 お店は新しく、広々して明るくオシャレな雰囲気。 1500円のパスタランチにも惹かれましたが、2000円のランチセットをお魚を選んでいただきました。 写真撮り忘れたけれど前菜、スープ、パン、デザートもついてこのお値段はお値打ちです。 鯛の皮はパリパリで、素人にはこうはできないんですよね。 秋田の美味しいお野菜がも堪能できました。 おススメです。

    男鹿半島の突端、入道崎付近にあるお店に訪問。緊急事態宣言緩和のおかげなのか少しずつ観光客が戻っている印象です。 いつの間にか少し値上がりしていましたがいつもよりボリュームはあったかなという感じがしました。 熱々の石焼きにはたくさんの鯛の身が入っていましたしお刺身の厚みもありました。 わかめも美味しいんですよね。

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
