    Located along National Route 364 in Kamitakeda, Maruokacho Town, Sakai City, this well-established tofu shop was founded in 1925. The signature abura-age (deep-fried bean curd) uses underground water from Mt. Hakusan and choice domestic soy beans for its tofu which is crisply and aromatically fried up with rapeseed oil. At the restaurant you can try dishes that use abura-age like “takeda no abura-age gozen” and at the retail shop, you can purchase freshly fried tofu, as well as sweets using tofu or soy milk.

    旅館で出されたこちらの油揚げが美味だったので、訪問しました。レストランは10:30開店だと聞き、11時に伺ったのですが、すでに大混雑。いろいろなメディアで採り上げられている、有名店だと知りませんでした。あきらめて併設のショップで油揚げ、豆腐、おからを購入しました。そちらはすぐ買えました。山の中の一軒家で、看板が目立つので、場所はわかりやすいと思います。

    お盆休み中の12時前に訪れたましたが、既に行列が出来ており約30分待ちでした (コロナの影響でテーブル一つおきに着席)。 大半の方が注文するからか、海鮮丼はオーダーしてから割と早く提供いただけました。 海鮮がてんこ盛りで、特に甘海老が甘くて美味しかったです。付属の味噌汁も海老の出汁が非常に濃厚で美味しかったです。待つ価値はあったと思います。

Fukui Areas

Northeast of Kyoto, the ancient Tojinbo Cliffs separate Fukui prefecture from the Sea of Japan in a stretch of land well worth exploring. Water sports and seaside delicacies are available in abundance as the spectacular rugged coastline flattens down into beaches to the west of the prefecture, while inland, Fukui is home to Zen Buddhist temples and historic ruins.
