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. The tasty aroma one gets from a sip of the hinaijidori broth soup is another draw for visitors. Aside from counter seats there are also private rooms and sunken kotatsu (warmer) seats, allowing you to enjoy your meal in peace.

Akita Pref. Akitashi Omachi 4-2-18

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. In particular the local cuisine kiritanpo stew with its matching Hinai chicken soup is praised by tourists and locals alike. As for seasonal dishes, there is sansei (edible wild plants) cooking in spring, Iwagaki oyster in summer, and mushroom cuisine in fall. 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？

秋田県内に宿泊する際はかなりの頻度でゆぽぽに宿泊して、ばっきゃにて食事をしています。地ビール１時間飲み放題はかなりお得だと思います。提供も早いし、地ビールの質を考えるとペースが早ければ簡単に元が取れるかと(^^) おつまみ系のメニューも食事も美味しいです。ただ、今はコロナの影響？なのか生もの系のメニューが提供されていなかったり、土曜の定番の劇団のライブが中止になっているのが残念です。

Beloved Akita Cuisine Chawanya serves fresh local fish and country cooking, and always stocks a selection of over 30 Akita sakes.

男鹿半島の突端、入道崎付近にあるお店に訪問。緊急事態宣言緩和のおかげなのか少しずつ観光客が戻っている印象です。いつの間にか少し値上がりしていましたがいつもよりボリュームはあったかなという感じがしました。熱々の石焼きにはたくさんの鯛の身が入っていましたしお刺身の厚みもありました。わかめも美味しいんですよね。

本格的な料亭です。なかなか訪れる機会がないかもしれませんが、一度は行ってみたいお店です。店の門から重厚さが伝わってきます。本格的な由利牛が味わえます。お昼は比較的リーズナブルな料理が用意されていますが、味には妥協がありません。おいしいです。メニューの内容や価格を確認するために、事前予約して訪ねるのが良いと思います！

Akita Areas

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.
