Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Kamisannomachi 12

Hisada-ya is a tavern housed in a renovated old-style Hidatownhouse that was originally built in the middle of the 19th century. The tavern is centered on an open hearth that radiates its own unique warmth. The menu is built around Hida beef and other country-style cuisine based on local ingredients. Hobayaki, in which Hida beef is laid on top of a dried magnolia leaf, topped with miso, and roasted, and prix fixe meals based on healthy, country-style stews are favorite options. Other menu items are based on smoothly going down green tea soba noodles.

何回か利用させていただいてますが、今回は少し残念に思うことがあり投稿します。それは食事が済み会計の時、お釣りのお札をペロペロと指を湿らせて渡されたのです。年配の方でたまにやってる人は見かけますが、お店の人がやるのは流石に駄目でしょう。食事は美味しかっただけに少し残念な気持ちになりました。

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Asahimachi 30

This local Hida-Takayama ramen noodle shop is in Asahi-machi, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. An old-fashioned sign that reads Chuka Soba (Chinese Noodles) is its landmark. They make their broth by adding soy sauce to chicken and fish stock and simmering, rather than adding the soup directly to a soy sauce base. Their simple toppings of pork belly slices, menma bamboo shoot, and green onion go great with the thin, wavy noodles. They also have items that aren't its speciality, including their popular mini-gyudon beef on rice. It's made with local Hida beef.

遅い昼食になってしまったため、他の中華そば屋が閉まっていたりして、こちらにたどり着きました。何かオーソドックスな高山ラーメンを楽しめました。お店の中は少し、居酒屋風な感じも。高山市記念館の近くに駐車して、ぶらぶら歩いてきましたが、こちらは駐車場完備でした。（汗）

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Asahimachi 52

A Takayama ramen restaurant established in 1956. While most Takayama ramen places use a chicken bone-based broth, this establishment uses a pork bone, vegetable, and shoyu (soy sauce) -based broth. This simple yet flavorful broth combined with thin crimped noodles that carry it well, results in a ramen that is tasty and somehow familiar-feeling. The restaurant’s chashu noodles, topped with four slices of thick-cut roast pork chashu with just the right amount of fat, are also popular.
