    那須高原へのドライブ。 ランチはこちらでと目指してくると昼前に到着。 まずは駐車場待ち。 その後は1時間以上待って店内へ。 木立に囲まれた古民家です。 庭の紅葉が色づき始めています。 入り口付近には古い農機器具が置かれていて、入り口が引き戸で、かがんで入るほどの高さ。 寒い場所の知恵ですね。 席は入り口付近だっただのでトイレついでに店内を見学。 囲炉裏や縁側もあり、良い雰囲気。 隣の席には、地元の...

    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Ishiyamachi 439-2
    You’ll find this specialty Yuba cuisine restaurant along the Japan Romantic Road in Ishiya Town, Nikko City. It provides sashimi, boiled dishes, vegetables with dressing, and other fresh yuba cuisine using “Nikko Gozen Yuba” ingredients provided by longstanding Nikko Yuba restaurant “Ebiya Chozo.” In addition, they also offer the “kaiseki zen” and “Nikko zen” courses, which feature salt-grilled trout and other fresh yuba dishes.

    ゆばはとても美味しいです。大好きです。ただ、ちゃんとした素材とよい出汁を使えば、お店によって大きく味が違うというものでもない気がします。 では、こちらのお店のアドバンテージは何か? お店自体の高級なしつらえと丁寧かつ親身な接客だと思う。 一番お安いランチコースは4290円でした。トータルではちょっとお高いなあと感じました。高級なんだけど、ちょっと高級でない部分がどうしても気になってしまって...

    Tochigi Pref. Tochigishi Kauemonchou 5-27
    This old shop was founded as an oil shop during the Edo period, but then went on to manufacture miso. They use domestically-produced soy beans to make their “aburaden miso” —naturally fermented in a traditional wooden barrel, with no additives, to produce a rich, aromatic taste. At the dengaku miso shop in the corner, you can try konnyaku dengaku, tofu dengaku, and sato-imo dengaku. The five buildings, including a Meiji-period storehouse, are designated as National Tangible Cultural Properties, as well as a charming fireplace in the back.

    何とも趣のある歴史を感じさせる建物でした。味噌田楽盛り合わせ(3本セットで550円)をいただきました。炭で時間をかけて焼いています。味の異なる味噌が3本それぞれにつけられています。 建屋の中も歴史そのもの。太い梁が何本も見られ、大正あるいは明治時代(?)の電話もそのまま。囲炉裏も。 歴史のある雰囲気に身をおきながら、落ち着いたひとときを過ごしました。

    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Chugushi 2484
    This rest house sits peacefully near Lake Chuzenji in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, and offers up some local Tochigi cuisine. Inside, you’ll find a bright room lit by sunlight shining through large windows. You can enjoy set meals of local fish while gazing at the gorgeous landscape of mountains intermingling with the blue lake. The “salt-grilled trout” is cooked up when you order it and has been featured on television.

    遊覧船の乗り場になっているレストハウスです。春から秋のシーズンには、小学生の団体が乗り場周辺に溢れていますが、閑散期は静かです。

    Tochigi Nasushiobara-shi Sekiya 442 Agri Pal Shiobara
    This restaurant is located on the grounds of Roadside Station Yunoka Shiobara. Located in a corner of the Agripal Shiobara farmers' market, the restaurant serves handmade soba noodles, udon noodles, and side dishes made with fresh vegetables straight from the farm. Its dishes, made with buckwheat and wheat flour from specially contracted farms, are simple and have an old-fashioned, home cooked flavor. The restaurant's handmade yuzu miso is particularly popular and goes perfectly with furofuki boiled daikon and oden hotpot. The makigari nabeyaki Udon noodles, a local specialty, are made with an abundance of local vegetables; only served on Saturdays, they are also limited to just 10 customers a day.

    塩原温泉へ向かう国道400号沿いの農産物直売所、喫茶店・おみやげ店、農村レストラン、パン屋などがある充実した道の駅。 平日の訪問でしたが大混雑してました。 軽くつまむものを買うつもりが、おにぎりやパンが美味しそうでたくさん買っちゃいました。 すぐ隣の田んぼアートもお勧めです。今回は東京オリンピック延長のメッセージの田んぼアートを見れました。

    Tochigi Nikko-shi Matsubaracho 10-2
    Located in front of Tobu Nikko Station, the gateway to Nikko, this restaurant has been serving handmade udon and soba noodles and yuba dishes using Nikko's delicious water and carefully selected ingredients since its establishment in 1903. The second-floor window overlooks the Tobu Nikko Station roundabout, so many tourists stop by while waiting for their trains.

    日光駅前にある食堂です。観光地の駅前に連ねているような、典型的な食堂の一つです。メニューも丼物や蕎麦が主流で、いずれの料理にも湯葉が使われていますが、それ以外に奇を衒った具材等は使用されていないため、もし食べるところに迷った場合に利用する店としてこの店が挙げられると思います。 このお店の名物である、湯葉を鶏肉の代わりに卵でとじた『ゆば玉丼』です。湯葉独特のシャキシャキした食感がとてもよかったです...

    壬生町の役場付近は江戸時代の面影が残る風情にある建物も残っています。役場前の一ブロック隣の角を曲がると人気の和食処があります。土日のランチの時間帯は宴会が沢山入っており、席も埋まりがちです。是非にという方は予約を入れた方が良さそうです。カウンターでは店長自ら天ぷらを揚げ、若い店員に指示を出しています。ランチは海鮮も肉もメニューは豊富で、創作モノにも意欲的に取り組んているようですが、私はいつも天丼に...

    今回、初めてお邪魔しました。 鰻重特上3800円をいただきました。十分おいしかったです。 でも私的にはたれがちょっと薄くて物足りない感じでした。 鰻重3100円との差はで1/4分鰻が多く乗っているだけで、特上でなくてもいいかと思います。 店内もきれいで落ち着きます。 また伺います。
