せっかくの旅が、この店に来て気分が悪くなりました。店頭に常時いるらしい男性店員の態度があまりに酷かったからです。マスクの付け方が多少不十分だっただけで「マスク！」と上から目線の命令。当然最後に土産を買うつもりで、まずトイレを借りたいと尋ねると「公園にあるから」と、とりつくしまもない。わざわざ悪い気分になりたくて旅はしないですよね...

With such abundant variation, this shop has become synonymous with Morioka soul food.

A northern Tohoku prefecture promising peace and quiet, Iwate is sparsely populated, replacing people with snow-capped mountains, history-rich sites, and fields of crops that are to thank for the region’s delicious local cuisine. Meander along the three-city Golden Route, where you’ll visit the grand Buddhist temples of Hiraizumi and the Tono folk villages before tasting the three famed noodle dishes of Morioka.
