  • Otafuku

    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?

    Beloved Akita Cuisine Chawanya serves fresh local fish and country cooking, and always stocks a selection of over 30 Akita sakes. We particularly recommend their Damakko Nabe hotpot with minced shrimp filled rice balls, various mushrooms and Hinai-jidori chicken. You can also get a take-home souvenir version.
  • Nyudozaki Kaiyo
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Akita Pref. Ogashi Kitauranyudouzaki Kombura 2-71
    Nyudozaki Kaiyo, famed for its Oga specialty Ishiyaki stone cooked cuisine, is especially popular for its dish Toginashi Hatahata Yakimeshi Sushi Bowl. This bowl of deboned sandfish sushi is topped with a special sauce, and is only found at Kaiyo. Their Namahage ice cream, made with fresh fruit for a healthy and sour treat, is also a hit.

    Akita Pref. Ogashi Kitauranyudouzaki Kombura 2-1
    Minoko offers Oga's traditional fisherman's cuisine Ishiyaki stone cooked. They are particularly popular for their extravagant wild sea bream dishes. The unique Minoko style is to try their dishes topped with fragrant sansho Japanese pepper. They close when the food runs out!

    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。

    少し割高ですが、それだけの美味しさを提供してくれます。息子が旨い旨いと言って美味しそうに食べてました。 息子は岩牡蠣に喜んでましたね。 あと、手作りアイスクリーム。濃厚で本当に美味しかったです。お店の方もハーゲンダッツより美味しいでしょ!と自慢げでした(^^) その他、秋田のお酒を頂きながら、いぶりがっこ、どじょうの天ぷら、ハタハタ寿司などを頂きました。 落ち着いて食べたい方には良いところで...

    秋田の農家で食事をしているようなインテリア、農具なども飾ってあります。二人でしたのでカウンター席に敢えて座らせてもらいました。というのは囲炉裏があって、この炭火で料理をするのを見ながらゆっくり食事をしたかったからです。故郷に帰ったような気分で食事ができました。いただいたものは、じゅんさい、ハタハタの寿司、ハタハタ(焼魚)、刺身盛合わせ、きりたんぽ鍋、稲庭うどん、がっこ盛り合わせなど秋田色のある食事...

Akita Areas

around-area-map

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.
