    Wakayama Kainan-shi Funoo 185
    This kaiseki restaurant is located about a ten-minute walk from JR Kainan Station. The venerable Japanese restaurant first opened in 1933 and has been even been covered in the media. In addition to private rooms, the restaurant also offers table seating and counter seating. The counter is especially popular with guests for its view of the courtyard. We also recommend their lunch menu, which allows guests to casually enjoy authentic kaiseki cuisine at reasonable prices.

    海南駅から徒歩圏内(10分ぐらい) 国道42号線沿い日方川近くに有る本格割烹です。 庭園を見ながら食事に最適でしょう。

    新発売で気になっていたのでミートを注文しました!パテとオニオンフライは温かかったけどバンズが冷たかったです。厚みがあって美味しいバンズなので、とても残念。味は良かったですが、ケチャップとマヨネーズが挟まれていたので、何かソースに工夫があるともっと美味しいと思います。250円だとリピートはないです。
