    "An eel restaurant established in 1807 which is located in Naka-cho, Kawagoe City. The restaurant is housed in a three-story wooden building built in the early Taisho period. Menu selections include eel broiled and slathered in a secret recipe sauce handed down for seven generations; a la carte eel dishes like shirayaki plain broiled eel; the ""Torikaba Sanshoku"" meal, which comes with chicken kabayaki and soboro as well as egg soboro; and eel course meals."

    This place has excellent unagi (eel). However, I suggest you go early and get a queue and walk around sightseeing and return 10 min before your allocated time. It seems to be quite accurate in...

    豪商の別邸を料亭にした山屋さん。庭も見事ですが、日本建築、美術品など見ごたえたっぷり。料理は素晴らしいの一語に尽きます。ランチタイムにお弁当を提供する日もありますが、予約してゆっくり懐石を味わえると最高です。

    Saitama Pref. Kawagoeshi Ofukuro Within the 650 Kawagoe General Wholesale Store

Certain menu selections are also only available at certain times, such as barbecue dishes only offered during dinner, and sashimi made with choice fish from the market only offered during dinner on weekends.

    評判がよかったので、昼間に『予約無くても入れるか?』と確認したところ、「待つけど大丈夫ですか?」と言われたので待つのを覚悟で向かいました。 が、入り口で「予約なしの方は今日は入れない」と言われ追い返されました。わざわざあんな僻地まで言ったのに笑 もう二度と行くことはないですね。電話対応すらまともな教育できないとこだとわかりました。

    "A bread bakery located in Kashiya Yokocho (Candy Alley) in Moto-machi, Kawagoe City. The bakery sells breads made by hand using flour from Hokkaido and natural yeast, and without the use of additives. Popular breads like the ""Premium Shokupan,"" designed to be eaten untoasted and made by fermenting the dough for 18 hours to maximize the flavor; and the ""Omiso no Pan"" bread made with glutinous rice flour and Chichibu miso added to the dough, ensure that the bakery frequently sees lines of waiting customers."

    菓子屋横丁にある人気のパン屋さんです。土日は並んでいることが多いですし、午後以降だと種類が少ないこともあります。どれも美味しかったです。店の外にちょっとしたカフェスペースも用意されており、ゆっくり過ごすことができます。

    年始に長期で関東に滞在。 青春18きっぷを利用していた関係で、埼玉も訪問してきました。 このときに川越にも訪問したのですが、「くらづくり本舗 久保町本店」さんで「喜多のかけ橋」を購入。 「ダックワーズ」の和風バージョンみたいな感じなのですが、軽くて持ち運びがとっても楽(笑)。 食感も良くてとても美味しかったです。

    The Ichibangai location of this confectioner has a tea house which offers a popular food menu starring Imo-Okowa (sweet potato and rice).

Their Imo-Pote cakes and Imo-Okowa make for great souvenirs.

    たまたま通りがかかって見つけました。 落ち着いていて、良い雰囲気。 食べ物にバラが乗っていて、ほっこり。 店員さんも良い感じ^ ^ おこわのランチ美味しかった♪ 写真の物は、税込1200円です。

    An udon noodle shop just across the street from the Toki no Kane bell tower, the symbol of Kawagoe. This shop is well known as a great place to try Kawagoe's specialty Imo-Udon (potato udon). The exterior of the shop looks like a classic style house and the interior offers both tatami seating and counter seating in the style of a dug out lowered table. Imo-Udon is a thinner style of udon noodle made with about 20% sweet potato. They offer both Imo-Udon and handmade udon but please make sure to try the Imo-Udon.

    時の鐘の斜め前にある店。周りが「きんちょう」という名前の店多いので同じ会社がいろいろやっているのだなと。 昼食時に訪問、サツマイモを練り込んだうどんが名物らしい。 何処で作っているのかわからず、カウンター7席に座敷テーブル席が3組。 テーブル席は12人くらい座れるが混雑時は当然相席。 ある程度注文順番に出てくるが、5-6個まとめて出てくるので、注文の速さ関係なし。 麺は太く硬い。讃岐うど...

    An eatery located in the corner of Fine China Store YAMAWA. Try the Sweet Potato Mini-Kaiseki course meal which explores a variety of tastes and textures of Kawagoe's local specialty, the sweet potato. They're also well known for their desserts including Cream Anmitsu (a mixture of bean jam, boiled beans, agar cubes, fruit pieces and syrup) and Oshiruko red bean soup. The black lacquered bar tables have matching high chairs and feature small holes on their top where you can place cups with pointed bottom and also a small cubby underneath where you can easily stash a handbag. It's also nice to enjoy the elegant plating that you won't find anywhere outside of a china store.

    What a great mini kaiseki with sweet potato as the main ingredient. The sweet potato sake was similar to umeshu(plum wine) but not overly sweet, it was all tasty, and beautifully presented. When...

    A peaceful restaurant set away from the hustle and bustle of the city. They use the carefully guarded secret techniques of Ichikawa's Issa-An Tea-House's soba recipe and along with hand-made soba they also offer duck cuisine and various course meals for everything from lunch to banquets. Their hand-made soba is made with a careful focus on domestic ingredients and the broth, which has been worked and expanded since their opening, blends the flavor of soy sauce, mirin, and bonito to create an outstanding flavor.

    川越観光の際にランチで利用しました。 閑静な住宅街にひっそりとある感じで穴場的なお店だと思っていましたが、 少し離れた道沿いに駐車場と看板があったので通りすがりに入る人もいそうです。 鴨汁がお薦めとHPに載っていたので迷わず注文。 鴨の鉄板焼きとセットになっていてとってもお得なメニューでした。 鴨はしっかりとした歯ごたえで、臭みなく美味しかったです。 お蕎麦もつるんと喉越しよいお蕎麦でお薦めのお店...

Eclipsed by neighboring Tokyo, Saitama is often branded as the sleepy suburbs. However, look a little deeper and you’ll uncover quaint towns bursting with history and crafts from the kurazukuri Edo-period clay houses of Kawagoe to the ancient tree-enveloped temples of Chichibu.
