You can enjoy the genuine cuisine of lake country, Shiga. Especially, grilled mackerel with somen noodle remains in my memory, and I recommend you also the local sake liquor that is made for recalling Mitsunari Ishii, an old general.

Hukui Yahei Shoten

1 Reviews

Among many sake brewers in Shiga, 'Hagi-no Tsuyu' is the most popular and these're the fruit liquors of it. Especially, lemon liquor is highly admired for its nice sourness. The alcoholicity is lower and people who don't like sake can enjoy the taste.◎You can buy it at brewery but they're often closed. In that case, you should visit Fukui Ichinoshin Shoten Store. You can buy the local sake, wine and other specialties.

It has an easy access for it's located near the station.

AWOMB

1 Reviews

Teori Zushi' has dishes of Kyoto foodstuffs and tempura, and it's so beautiful, cute, fashionable that I feel pity for eating. In a comfortable restaurant, it would be unique and interesting for you to roll it by yourselves.◎There're three restaurants in the city and they're different each other. You need to check beforehand whether reservation is needed or not. Sorry, but under 12 years old children can't use the restaurant.

knot café

1 Reviews

It's opened as a knot of Kyoto and NY. They offer a coffee that you can drink only here, but what most ordered is nothing but Dashimaki Sandwich. Fluffy dashimaki is excellent with a bun baked by a popular bakery in Kyoto.◎A side menu became a star menu. This dashimaki, cooked specially by a dashimaki shop, contains much dashi soup, so you can taste Kyoto style sandwich.

Hyogo

Kassuiken

Himeji is a famous growing district of conger eel. Please don’t fail to eat it. Here in Kassui-ken, you can eat conger eel with rice bowl(Anago-don), while seeing the beautiful Japanese garden.

Awaji CRAFT CIRCUS

3 Reviews

An open-air terrace is as long as 100 meters and all seats command the ocean view. Awaji-shima's foodstuffs are used for the dishes and they're all massive enough to share. You can have a good time with friends, lovers, families and anyone at this restaurant.◎This restaurant is self-service you order at the counter with the open kitchen. Awaji-gyu (beef) Jumbo Craft Burger, 1880yen, is big to be able to share with three!

Nakagi Minami Izu-cho

Osaka

Ganso Kushikatsu Daruma Shinsekai Main Store

They're so particular about the oil and sauce that we can eat the fried pork very lightly. Be careful eating to much and don't dip in the sauce twice.

Otako Main-Store

1 Reviews

Otako's proud of the fresh and big octopus in their takoyaki. Piping hot and soft dough, taste is kind of traditional. By the way, I was happy to see the big octopus!

Okonomiyaki Mizuno

The most popular menu of the crowded restaurant. They don't use any wheat flour but only ground yam. Yam and a scallop matches by the mastered mayonnaise and sauce so much, then the masterpiece you can find.

The sweet shop is at Sannen zaka slope which leads to Kiyomizu temple. The Mitarashi dango (a dumpling covered with kuzu sauce seasoned with soy sauce and sugar) is good for people tired from walking on the slope. Because it is not big, I can eat 5 sticks. And a fresh warm one is exceptional.

I was satisfied with the taste and the price. Because the restaurant is managed by wholesale merchant and contracts 3 selected farms in Hyogo, they can serve the Kobe beef at reasonable price. If you eat the same at other restaurants, you have to pay more.

Kyoto's specialty is yu-dofu; soybean soft curd warmed gently in hot water. Therefore, I had wanted to eat once at 'Okutan' with a long and honorable history. Their specialty is own made 'Mukashi Dofu' used natural bittern; a coagulant extracted from seawater. It remains the firmness (tofu usually becomes soft after it boiled) and taste of soybeans.
