I was shopping at a boutique in Kurashiki and I asked the clerk to refer me a restaurant for lunch. She gave me two. I spotted Sakuraso first and lined up with other people to wait for it to open. The today's specialæ¾è±å å¼å½ have all been reserved, so I settled for "æ«»è御è³â,1600yen. It's Kaiseki style so it's sumptuous: one tempura dish, six small dishes including sashimi,sliced squid and other vegetables plus rice and soup. Everything is freshly prepared and delicious.

Located right across the street from the Dormy Inn Kurashiki, this restaurant serves Japanese kaiseki (set menu) food for around 3000 yen, and other ala carte type food such as "moriawase" assorted sashimi, sushi, dancing squid cooked on a hot grill, raw wasabi "tako" octopus, tempura, and many other dishes. As I said, presentation was very good, however food quantity is lacking, so you will tend to order more dishes. Drink menu was good, from Japanese "nama" draft beers, to local regional sakes such as Bizen Sake no Hitosuji, to brands like Kuro Kirishima shochu out of Kyushu, andregional shochu brands, too.

We ordered one of it's signature misokatsu set dinner and their seasonal set dinner. Their misokatsu is baked instead of fried and when paired with their dipping sauce it taste heavenly.Their vegetable based soup (non vegetarian) is divine, the flavor is just right and sipping the soup warms the soul in a cold rainy day.There were two fish in the seasonal set, one was sardine but doesn't taste like it, it was the first dish we finished and it's that nice! The second one has a texture of a toad leg, together with its amazing mouthwatering sauce it's another favourite!Total price for both sets was ¥2,900They have english menus as well, staff there doesn't seem to speak english but that didn't bothered us.

Our family of seven spent three nights at Ryokan Kurashiki, experienced four of the five rooms (I would call them suites as each had a bedroom and at least one if not two living rooms). All four suites had both atmosphere and comfort. Excellent beds. Even though the bathrooms did not have private outside baths, the tubs were deep and large. Ritsuko Nakamura, the charming okami (owner), is welcoming and made sure that our wishes were well taken care of. For example, we wanted to bike the Shimanami Kaido so she researched bike rentals, train and taxi options and made the whole experience easy. Her entire staff is attentive and on top of every detail. The location of the ryokan, in the center of the historic district could not be any better. The kaiseki tasting menus were delicious and interesting. We highly recommend this ryokan.

This restaurant is quite popular, so be prepared to wait for a table. That being said, we felt that the wait was entirely justifiable when we were served with our meal. While the menu is rather extensive, we chose to stick to the recommended item of the deep-fried pork cutlet. The pork cutlet was crispy but not greasy or oily. The demi-glace sauce generously drizzled over the pork cutlet was probably my favourite part of the whole dish!

Takadaya is a small, traditional yakitori (grilled meat on a stick) restaurant in the atmospheric historic district of Kurashiki. It's not a fancy restaurant; it feels kind of like a comfortable dive bar -- which, I guess, is the experience Japanese expect/want in their yakitori restaurants.Our visit got off to a troublesome start as we realized we were in the wrong restaurant. Don't expect to see a sign saying "Takadaya" in Roman letters. Our GPS led us to the restaurant next door! As soon as we were presented with a menu, we realized we were in the wrong place. The staff quickly pointed us to Takadaya. When we arrived next door, we had another problem: no seats. There are just a handful of tables and "bar" seats around the yakitori grill. They apparently take reservations, so you might want to do that (I suspect it would have to be done in Japanese). Fortunately, a couple was getting ready to leave, and we took their stools right in front of the grill. While a table might have been more comfortable, it was enjoyable watching the cooks man the grill with the various meat skewers.We ordered off an English menu; prices were affordable, with each skewer a couple of US dollars. Since we didn't really know what we'd like, we started by pretty much ordering one of everything! They were OK with that. We then ordered a few more of the sticks we liked the best.The yakitori was certainly tasty, albeit generally not amazing. Honestly, the experience was probably better than the food. The cost was a little more than $15/person with a beer. I would certainly visit again for an enjoyable, relatively inexpensive evening. Just keep in mind that this is more of a dive bar than a nice restaurant.
