    廿代町のグリーンロード沿いのビルの2階です。今回は、高知の地酒と一緒に土佐ジロー等をいただきました。お通しはブリ大根はブリのハラスはトロッと、切身はしっかりと味が染みていました。土佐ジローは、掴むと肉がしっかり絞まっているのが分かりました。塩コショウはしてありましたが、食べる時用に、ゆず胡椒が付いていました。まず、何も付けないでそのままの弾力を感じて食べることをお勧めします。

    予約して訪問しました。 兼ねてから皿鉢が食べてみたくてお邪魔したのですがメニュー見ていたら、あれもこれも魅力的な料理が多く迷いましたがやはり6千円の皿鉢を注文。 カツオは勿論、メニューに載っていた気になる鯨料理もいくつか入っていましたし、ウツボの唐揚げそして土佐巻も載っていてとにかくお腹いっぱいで後から頼もうと思っていた他のメニューにはたどり着けませんでした。これ一皿で土佐料理堪能できました!

Other popular items include “Tosa sweet” —a bouchee made with Tosa ingredients—and goat-milk pudding, made with lots of goat milk.

    尾長鶏のたまごという商品がお土産では人気ということで訪ねてみました。ただ、ここはロードサイドショップ。観光客にとっては不便でしょう。まあるい最中ですが、パッケージとかはリアルさを追求していて、けっこう面白いと思います。

    はりまや橋、すぐ側にある青柳本店です。 ガイドブックに載っていたのでいくつかお菓子を購入しました。土佐めいか「かんざし」を購入。高知県らしいネーミングが良く、「万次郎かぼちゃパイ」と「人のよろしさ」を購入。どれも素朴な味で美味しかったですが特に「人のよろしさ」はもっちり生地に優しい甘さの餡が良く合い気に入りました。 店員さんの感じがとても良くさすが高知県を代表するお店だなと思いました。

    高知県立牧野植物園内のレストランです。正門から徒歩3分ですかね。園内は食事ができるところはこちらしかありません。(カフェはありますが食事はなかったかな…)なので、ランチタイムは大盛況。日曜日の11:45に私たちが着席し満席になりました。テラス席もありますが、夏は暑い!期待はしていませんでしたが、海老クリームコロッケはおいしい!友人が頼んだポークソテーは固く残していましたが…。待っている人がいるので...

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.
