Some of their meals include their Tororo Gozen Japanese set meal, Tororo Meshi with rice, and Tororo Soba, noodles made with buckwheat flour and yam. Their sweets such as jinenjo pudding and jinenjo zenzai (red bean soup) are also popular.

    Very delicious food. One of my best meals in this trip. Had a big lobster, row (sashimi) and it was so good. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

The inside of the shop has the atmosphere of a simple yet traditional cafeteria, and is easy to use either by groups large or small.

    ととみ定食をいただきました。 半数近くが頼んでいたように思います。 新鮮な刺身はボリュームがあり、大満足。 揚げ物も美味しかったです。 次回は、隣の席の年配のご夫婦が食べていた伊勢海老御膳をいただきたいと思いました。 どれもかなりのボリュームです。 駐車場も停めやすく、待ち時間はありますが、隣りの物産店で時間もつぶせます。 また、ぜひ伺いたいと思いました。

    This is a restaurant for local cuisine located in the middle of Oharai-machi, in Ise City’s Okage Yokocho. From the large wooden building constructed in Japanese style with old pieces of lumber from Ujibashi Bridge after the Shikinen Sengu (rebuilding ceremony), guests can enjoy a full range of Ise Shima’s tastes while enjoying a view of the clear streams of the Isuzukawa River, cherry blossoms, and colorful autumn foliage.

They also have tai sembei (rice crackers) made from the tai and guests can take them home as a souvenir. It is located approximately three minutes on foot from Ugata Station on the Kintetsu Shima Line.

    19:50に行ったら、暖簾も出てるし、店内も営業中の雰囲気で、カウンターに男性(ご主人?)と女性(奥さん?)がいて、接客の女性が「お待ち下さい」と中に入って行き、少しして出てきたら「今日は終わりました」と。 はぁ? 終わりなら店入った時にすぐ言えばいいのに、女一人だし、お金はあまり使わなそうだし、面倒だから断っちゃえ!と、中で相談したのが見え見え。 殿様商売?いや、何様商売ですか?!ひど過ぎます。

    Kawaume was founded in the mid nineteenth century and has been serving eel dishes ever since. Isobe-cho in the city of Shima was once the only place in Japan where eels were farmed, so there was a cluster of eel restaurants in the area. Having inherited this tradition, Kawaume prepares dishes such as Kabayaki (barbecued eel) or Kimosui (eel soup) using recipes and techniques from long ago. Its most famous menu item is Kawaume Don, created by the fourth-generation owner. It differs from ordinary Unagi Don (barbecued eel over rice) in that it is topped with nori seaweed and shiso leaves, and is seasoned with wasabi-flavored soy sauce.
