    リニューアルオープンから半年経った日曜日に行きましたが、お昼時はお客さんがひっきりなしにきて、席が埋まっていました。名物のダムカレーは、サクサクのポークカツが入っていて、ルーの中にも柔らかい牛肉が入っていました。(レタスやブロッコリーはあるけど、比較的野菜は少なめ)量は女性にとっては、少し多めな気がしますが、甘口よりでお子さんも食べやすいと思います。

    Aomori Pref. Hirosakishi Noda 1-3-16
    This Western-style confectioner is located beside Kita-oh-dori Avenue along the east side of Hirosaki Castle. The showcase on the first floor exudes a bright feeling with white as a motif. In contrast, the second floor has an eat-in space, featuring a chic, grown-up atmosphere colored in black. Popular products include the apple pie, as one might expect from Aomori Prefecture—an apple paradise. The taste is great, and the volume has it hanging over the plate, so it’s known as a place where you get a good deal for the price.

    Aomori Pref. Kuroishishi Yokomachi 13
    “Kurayoshi,” a restaurant in a sake brewery storehouse dating from the Edo period, is famous for its dishes known as “the world’s best tempura noodles,” “the world’s best superior tempura noodles” and “duck hot pot” as well as the specialty of Kuroishi, “Tsuyu yakisoba”.

There is also an extensive menu offering other single items and Japanese-based meals. It is a 10 minute walk from Kuroishi Station on the Konan Railway Konan Line.

Centuries-old stories of samurai at Kakunodate and the remains of millennia-old archaeological sites including the likes of Isedotai invite history buffs to delve into Aomori’s fascinating history. As the most northern prefecture on the Japanese mainland, Aomori enjoys a cooler climate, which makes it a welcome escape from the southern cities for combining castles, art galleries, and summer festivals with the great outdoors.
