    評判は以前から知っていたが、中々平日に行く事が出来なかった。17時頃ならと思い入ったが、既に満席。しかし、それ以前に来て退席する人が多く、少し待っただけで入れた。おでん、どて煮ともに味が染み込んでいて、大変美味。お酒も熱燗が丁度合っていて、素晴らしく、大変満足した。 一人3000円ちょっとで、満足させてもらえるのは有り難い。ご馳走様でした。

    前日に電話予約で男性店員に鮎御膳を注文しました。 当日、席を案内されて女性店員にメニューを聞かれたので再度、鮎御膳を注文しました。 ところが45分待っても料理がきません。別の店員を呼んで「料理はいつきますか?」と尋ねたところ、注文が通っていなかったとのこと。昨日の「お料理はどうされますか?」の予約確認の電話は何だったのか。 結局1時間待って鮎御膳を食しましたが、内容的にも3,000円は高いです。出...

Aichi Areas

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
