    Shiga Koka-shi Shigarakicho Nagano 1180-1
    A five-minute walk from Shigaraki Kohgen Railway Shigaraki Station. This kushikatsu (fried food skewer) restaurant operates out of a one-story bungalow next to a 7-Eleven which can be reached by taking a left on National Route 307 traveling from Shigaraki Station. Many of the restaurant's patrons are repeat customers from across the prefecture and beyond, and at night the establishment bustles with potters, ceramic artists, and other local regulars. The restaurant's menu consists of 27 varieties of kushikatsu, including shrimp wrapped in shiso leaves, and shiitake mushrooms stuffed with minced shrimp. The Kushi Omakase (chef's choice) course is particularly popular - delicious skewered foods are prepared and deep-fried right in front of your eyes, one at a time, until you say to stop. The non-skewer katsudon pork cutlet rice bowl, drenched in a vaunted homemade tangy sauce, is also recommended.

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
