    Kochi Aki-shi Doi 1017-1
    A restaurant tucked away in an idyllic rural area. They offer a variety of items made with local Aki specialties. One of these is chirimen-jako (dried juvenile fish); they offer two types of rice bowls made with this: their regular Kamaage Chirimen Bowl and their Kakiage Chirimen Bowl. The Kakiage Chirimen Bowl is a local specialty, a hearty gem featuring a kakiage fritter made with chirimen-jako and wild vegetables, with even more chirimen-jako layered beneath. Adding condiments such as seaweed, grated radish, and sesame will give it a lighter flavor. The shop also sells souvenirs and specialty products, making it the perfect place to stop while strolling around Doikachu.

    Aki is famous for eggplants and chirimen, and you can get your fill of both here. I recommend the chirimendon or the eggplant curry (only available on certain days).

Kochi Areas

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.
