A must-place to go after we drink! A gyōza stand Yasubei located at Nijudai-machi, where we can walk from Obiyamachi. Its crisp and juicy gyōza come in my stomach one after another! It's good for the stand to open late at night. For Yasubei is a very crowded food stand, so we need to be ready to wait, but at the early time, you may don't have to wait.

You can have traditional Tosa's cuisine such as lightly roasted bonito (Katsuo-no Tataki) and whale dishes (sukiyaki in this pic). Lightly roasted bonito is offered anywhere, but here is special! I really like their fatty and roasted savorily bonito served with relishes and their secret sauce.◎The basic course is priced from 5000yen. There're counter seats and Japanese style zashiki seats. The chef was friendly.

Tosa Aka-ushi is called rare wagyu because of the small amount of shipment. You can enjoy it in the Japanese style inn. Tosa wagyu that grows in the great nature in Kochi, has a good chewiness and the more you chew the meat, more juicy flavor comes out. It's the superb sukiyaki.
