    畑の中にポツンとあるうどん屋さん。 店内からの畑の風景は癒されます。 うどんは地で取れた野菜たっぷり、青さが入ったのもなどもあります。 そのほかにちらし寿司やおでん定食も。 なんとも優しい味に癒されます。 ここを知っていると得した気分。穴場なうどん屋さんです

    四万十市の中心部にあるカフェです。マルナカ中村一条店のところの国道439号の信号から、北側の次の信号のところにあります。 外観も内装も如何にも昭和の純喫茶という感じでそれだけでも趣がありますが、こちらではオーディオファンなら見逃せないようなオーディオ機器でジャズを聴かせてくれます。店内にはJBLのパラゴンが鎮座し、オーディオルームにはMcINTOSHの真空アンプが所狭しと並んでいます。オーディオフ...

    Kochi Muroto-shi Murotsu 2616-1
    A 70-year-old kamameshi rice pot restaurant that operated in Muroto's bustling downtown area when whaling thrived and whale was often on the menu. Their popular kamameshi meal sets are the same today as when they were founded. Their highly popular Toritare-yaki is made with a whole grilled chicken thigh. They accommodate gatherings ranging from a few people to 100 and will adjust the menu to match your budget.

    It was quite difficult to locate the restaurant. Our expectations were high as we wanted to try the Kamameshi (kettle rice, similar to Chinese clay pot rice), which we read about on the Muroto city...

    Kochi Susaki-shi Uranouchi Ikenoura
    A restaurant on the Yokonami Skyline specializing in Japanese spiny lobster served fresh from Ikenoura. Ikenoura Port is visible from the shop's window, and the scenery is fantastic. Try Japanese spiny lobster straight from the port in a hot pot, zosui rice stew, or prepared ikizukuri style from live lobsters. Reservations aren't required, but as their days off sometimes vary, you might want to confirm they’ll be open in advance and make one anyway.

    漁師一家が営む店です。そもそも旨い食材なので下手に調理することはないものなので イセエビそのまま シンプルな料理なれど やっぱりうまいわ。生で食べるお造り。頭は鍋。残っただしで雑炊。それだけ。刺身は想像できると思うけど こりこりの食感と えも言えぬ甘味。 これを甘露甘露と表現するのだろうか?特筆ものは雑炊。食べるのが止まらない。 これで一人8000円ぐらいです。皆さんも機会があればぜひ! 浜辺に下...

    Kochi Susaki-shi Sakaemachi 2-18
    You can find this okonomiyaki savory pancake shop by looking for its orange storefront with a red awning. A wooden menu takes up a whole wall and is packed with items like nabeyaki-style ramen, nabeyaki ramen and fried rice sets, and zosui rice stew made with the broth from the ramen. It's a great restaurant to enjoy drinking with okonomiyaki, or have your fill of nabeyaki-style ramen.

    お好み焼きのお店ですが、鍋焼きラーメンも取り扱っています。 地元の方々が集まっては語り合う、そんなお店の雰囲気です。 もちろん、鍋焼きラーメンもおいしいですよ。

    This cozy cafe has a warm, homemade feel when viewed from the outside or sitting within. The fare is all carefully handmade one meal at a time with local ingredients. They have lots of drinks available too, including goishi-cha milk made with a local Otoyo-cho fermented tea. Their homemade cakes are popular too. You can purchase whole cakes if you order in advance.

    If you come to Otaguchi in Otoyo you should go and see Otaguchi Café! There are many delicious foods. For example lunch sets, deer burger, cake, and drinks like coffee, juice and tea. I liked their...

    A popular spot for viewing the autumn foliage, this beautiful valley is at the foot of Mt. Ozare, which has an old-growth forest of enormous beech trees near the summit and very popular among beginner hikers and elementary school children. The best time to see the colorful leaves is from mid-October to mid-November, when sawtooth oaks, azaleas, and maples turn the valley scarlet and gold.

    Kochi Tosashimizu-shi Tenjincho 1-16
    This piping-hot bread shop is in Tenjin Town, Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture. Their Japanese confections, birthday cakes, and gift-ready rolled cakes are popular, and in winter their standard Imo Mochi is so popular that people reserve it in advance. This habit-forming treat combines sweet potatoes with glutinous rice flour. We recommend cutting it into one centimeter squares and lightly toasting it.

    Kochi Nankoku Okocho Kasanokawa 11-1
    This cafe and pasta shop is popular for its original pasta. They make fresh pasta by their own original methods using Durum Semolina flour from the Mediterranean, which they let rest for 24 hours in the refrigerator for firmer texture, and only cook it when it's ordered. In addition to their fresh pasta, their tomato sauce and pizza dough are also house-made. They have a full a la carte menu.

    メニューがいろいろあり、面白い。味は特に普通と思います。不味くはないです。南国市付近でパスタ専門店は少ないので、どうしてもパスタが食べたくなったときは行ったらいいと思います。

Their menu is filled with popular dishes showing off their attention to details, such as Straw-broiled Salted Katsuo, Whale Cutlet, Gomen Fighting Chicken Hotpot, and more.

    15年ぶりに大阪から高知へ用事があり、昔のおいしかった思い出があったので訪問しました。店の雰囲気はほぼ昔のままだったのですが、12時過ぎというのに私たち以外には誰もお客さんがいませんでした。不思議な感覚の中でおいしかったオムライスとカツオのたたき定食を頼みました。あんなに美味しかったオムライスが何の変哲もない只のオムライスに、カツオもわざわざ高知に来てまで食べるほどではなくなっていました。価格は2...

    Kochi Nankoku Shimo-suematsu 433-1
    This shop near Kokubun-ji temple makes only one thing: manju buns. Their gently flavored manju (as soon as sold out, sales will end) ,have a golden brown crust filled with adzuki sweet bean paste, and are great for souvenirs. These buns have long been beloved of pilgrims on the Shikoku Henro, and this home-style shop sells nothing else. It's best to come early to make sure you get a taste.

    もちろん食べ物なんで好みはありますが僕にはもさもさしていてあまり口には合いませんでした。もういいかな、と。

    This udon shop celebrated its 40th anniversary in October of 2018. It's famous for being the first shop in Japan to offer Shimanto Ao-nori Udon. The shop makes every effort to use only seasonal local ingredients, selected with the utmost care, and offers udon made with skill to bring out their ingredients.

    某ローカル番組を見ていて以前から気になっていたお店、国道沿いにあり思わず飛び込みました。 カレーうどんも気になりましたが初訪問の今回はまず釜玉うどん。 有精卵が乗ったアツアツのうどん、宗田節に付け込んだという専用の出汁醤油をかけて美味しくいただきました。

    Located in Kashiwajima on the southwestern tip of Kochi Prefecture. Here you can enjoy fishermen-style meals and local cuisine that can't be had anywhere but Kashiwajima made with fresh locally caught seafood. Some recommended menu options are their local long-lasting traditional seafood cuisine including Koshimeshi mixed rice, chilled soups, tai-meshi rice cooked with sea bream, and dishes and set meals made with red sea bream.

    ナビが、お店の少し手前で終了してしまい、場所が分からず電話した所、お忙しい中、お店の前まで出て来て誘導して頂きました。平日の13時頃に伺いましたが満席で10分ほど待ちました。帰られるお客さんが、皆「美味しかった」と言われていて、その言葉通り新鮮で美味しい!メニューは、定食で1品料理はありません。メニューが限られているだけあってレベルは高い。片道5時間かかりましたが、必ず、また行きたいお店です。

Kochi Areas

around-area-map

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
