Had a memorable meal at this lovely Kaiseki restaurant. The food was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The private room had a wonderful atmosphere with a beautiful garden view. After the meal we were given a lift back to our hotel via the illuminated cherry blossom. Price was extremely reasonable. Excellent local Saké. All in all perfect !

This restaurant is renowned for Kiritanpo (a traditional food of Akita Prefecture, a chewy rice cake) in soup. People of the restaurant say that their Kiritanpo-dish is “the 2nd best” in the city, but perhaps the best – they do amazing Kiritanpo and fantastic Japanese Sakes! You can get many Akita local foods also, such as Samurai-set meal (buke-meshi), Japanese noodle (inaniwa-udon), and local chicken (Hinai-jidori) in various styles. Kiritanpo is served to 2 persons minimum in this restaurant, other than a lone visitor. Staffs are friendly and helpful. They have Tatami-floors and tables. The inside is basic, and very clean. Since many guidebooks recommend this restaurant, it good to turn up earlier or book in advance in high seasons.

This is a must -try place to eat if you are at this area. There is a long queue but worth the wait. The lunch set is worth it and portion is just right. It is valuable for money and it is a good place to try soba if you have not done so while in Akita.

うーん。星⭐️の数微妙です。お料理は美味しかったです。地元食材の小鉢も、どれも美味しかった。主人はうどんすき鍋、2000円、私は栗ご飯1500円。お値段お手頃だし、丁寧に調理されているな、と。お昼時間を過ぎた、空いてる時間に、「あーここで良いかあ」のノリで入ったお店で、事前に何も情報収集せずだった私たちがいけないのか。外観と、店に入ったまでは良い雰囲気と思ったんですが、座ってよく見ると、あらら、、、異色な品々がずらり。それを目当てな方々には、すこぶる好評の様ですね。ご主人なんでしょうね、サンダルの音を立てて、店内を行き来するんですが、その音がとにかく耳障りで。「オッサンが突っかけ履いて、ぱったんぱったん音立ててウロウロしてる」のが、ずーっとなんですね。空いてる店内で、響き渡り続けていました。お料理を持ってきてくださった、他の2人の方々の接客はとても良かったです。

We had Tempura Soba Noodles (warm) and our hosts had the cold version. That was simply delicious. Located in the middle of the Samurai Houses street in Kakunodate. Very accessible and delicious!

What a surprise to find such a great restaurant in sleepy Lake Tazawa! While the menu isn't entirely organic, it seems they try to incorporate local products and lots of fresh vegetables into the dishes. I'm a vegetarian and had no problems finding things on the menu. We really enjoyed our meal.

We went to the Kakunodate town to see the beautiful cherry blossoms in late April, and learned in advance that this restaurant offers excellent Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) and Inaniya udon (Japanese noodles). Upon arriving at the Kakunodate train station, we took a taxi to the restaurant immediately, despite it was a bit early for lunch, because customers queuing outside accumulated fast before noon. We only had the Oyakodon, which is actually a very common Japanese dish, and is served almost in every Japanese restaurants, including those in Taiwan, but theirs was the best I ever had. It is because they use only the Hinnai chicken and eggs, which is the Akita Prefecture's specialty. The price is moderate, and the restaurant building is traditional Japanese style. Due to its popularity, table sharing is common, but in the cherry blossom season when the outside is cold, the crowdedness inside isn't so unbearable. After the meal, walking in the main street to see all the cherry blossoms and traditional samurai houses is an enjoyable exercise. The scenery extends to the nearby river bank, along with many stores selling local produce, delicate sweets, and fine handicrafts. No wonder this one of the three best cherry blossom watching places in the whole Tohoku.
