    Akita Pref. Akitashi Omachi 4-2-25
    A local cuisine restaurant in Omachi Town, Akita City, Akita Prefecture, where one can taste Akita’s fresh seafood and mountain food. The menu is a lineup of Akita specialties including kiritanpo (mashed rice pressed on a skewer and toasted) and shottsuru (salted and fermented fish sauce), sandfish, hinaijidori (a cross between Hinai-Dori and Rhode Island Red Chickens), with kiritanpo being served with the most pride. The kiritanpo using Akitakomachi rice from the Senpoku plain is known for its sweetness and aroma, and are rolled and baked stick by stick.

    Akita Pref. Yokoteshi Tanakamachi 1-23
    This Japanese pub is about a nine-minute walk from JR Yokote Station. The seafood here is brought in daily from the market and is extraordinarily fresh. Selected as one of the four devas in the “Yokote Yakisoba Four Devas Tournament,” this shop sees a constant stream of customers. The most touted dish would be “Yokote kuroge wagyu yakisoba.” It is a luxurious dish with simple Yokote yakisoba loaded up with kuroge wagyu from Yokote. The “Yokote kuroge wagyu horumon 5-piece set” lets you compare the wagyu intestines so it’s recommended.

    Tsuneya has been operating at Kawabata—largest shopping district in Akita Prefecture—since 1961. The three pillars of the menu here are sukiyaki, eel, and Akita local cuisine.

Savoring the seasonal flavors is one more key feature of Tsuneya.

    久しぶりに訪れました。1Fのテーブル席を予約しました。2階で宴会が入ってて、お酒、料理等を中居さんが運んでいてバタバタしてました。調理場からは怒鳴り声が聞こえたりで、せっかくの時間が・・・・・ガッカリです。 料理も、すき焼き、うなぎを除いてはたいした事がありません。時代遅れがしました。 こんなもんでしょうか？

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
