    宍道湖畔にある有名店です。平日のランチタイムに訪問しましたが、ほぼ満席でした。四国の鯛めしとはちょっと違う感じの鯛めしはお出しをかけて食べると格別です。鯛めし単品でもありますが、天ぷらなどもついている御膳がおすすめです。窓からは宍道湖がよく見えます。店員の数も多く、サービスも優秀です。

    A Kominka café&bar built over 100 years ago on the theme of local production-local consumption, Roan is a comfortable place to be and well represents the Japanese modern style. The variety of drinks available is striking, with a large number of umeshu (plum wines) from each region in Japan. The All-you-can-drink course is good deal, as you can try local sake and “kametsubo-jikomi” shochu.

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
