    Gifu Seki-shi Ikejiri 74
    "This shop near Ayunose Bridge serves sweetfish cuisine and is also a good spot to view cormorant fishing. Guests can board a boat to take in the Gifu summer tradition after a meal of high-quality natural sweetfish. Their most popular meal is their ""Tennen Ayu Full Course,"" that could only be served by real master craftsmen. It features a starter of candied sweetfish, salt-grilled sweetfish, and broiled sweetfish with miso paste all arriving in succession. You can also dine on sushi made with young sweetfish when in season. It's about 200 meters from the shop to the boarding point for the boat. A shuttle will bring you back after the cormorant fishing is finished."

    関観光ホテルのすぐ奥に位置するので、余程常連さんでないと利用しないような穴場の高級料亭です。店の造りが洒落ていて、川沿いの風景が素晴らしく、都会の雑音から遮断された雰囲気が何とも言えず素敵です。鵜匠の店であり天然鮎のフルコースはこの上なく美味しい。

    A soba noodle shop near the Sogi-sui Spring (also known as Hakuun-sui), which was certified among the best of Japan's Top 100 Famous Water by the Ministry of the Environment. They use this great Gujo water along with carefully selected domestic soba flour to make their noodles.

Offering a little taste of luxury in a casual atmosphere, their Hida beef bowls are often sold out due to limited quantities. Abandoning the air of exclusiveness that some soba shops have, their Chomolungma zaru soba featuring an extra-large serving of noodles is popular with young people challenging themselves to eat it all.

    On the way to Takayama-Shi we decided to try the soba in Gujo. There’re two good soba eatery there and we managed to eat in Soba no Hirajin (rated #2 in TripAdvisor) and we would rate it excellent...
