岡山旅行の際、母がマスキングテープを欲しがっていた為、調べてお店にお邪魔しました。入店した時間が閉店時間の30分前だった為、私たちが悪かったのかもしれませんが、入店してもいらっしゃいませの一言もなく、しまいには店員の方3名ほどお見受けしましたが、全員が無言で閉店後にもできるような補充作業を黙々とされており、まるでほっておいても買っていくんでしょと言わんばかりの空気感でした。場所も少しメイン通り...

Okayama Kurashiki-shi Achi 2-14-1

Located a five-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station. This Japanese restaurant offers authentic Japanese cuisine with a strong focus on flavor, ingredients, and freshness. Their hand-made dishes strive to show off a sense of the season with a focus on care and gentle flavors. The restaurant operates out of a 100-year-old kominka house that gives off a relaxed classic atmosphere you won't find outside of Kurashiki. For lunch we recommend their Hiruzen Lunch Set which comes with an assortment of sashimi, fried foods, takiawase (simmered dish), small side dishes, and vinegared dish. For dinner, alongside their course meal which requires reservation, we recommend their seasonal a la carte offerings including sashimi and simmered fish dishes.

倉敷でも有数の旨い和食の料理屋さんではないかと思います。古風な佇まいで個室も完備され、接待やプライベート、ご家族でも楽しめるお店です。勿論カウンターでのんびりもできます。日本酒にも焼酎にも合う料理をご堪能くださいね。山のもの、海のもの全て美味しいのですが、特に煮付けや蒸し物もお奨めです。お値段もそれなりにリーズナブル。秋になると中庭で鈴虫？なんかが鳴いていますね。なんとも風流って感じですよね！
Bukkake Furuichi Naka Store

Okayama Kurashiki-shi Achi 2-3-23

Located just a five-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station. This is the oldest flagship shop in the Furuichi chain of udon noodle restaurants which is famous for Kurashiki's specialty Bukkake Udon. Bukkake Udon is a dish with a gentle mouthfeel yet springy texture to the noodles served in a strong salty-sweet broth. It's a highly recommended standard menu focusing on its four component parts, water, salt, broth, and flour. Also highly recommended is their Kamatama dish which mixes freshly boiled udon noodles with raw egg and shaved dried bonito. The soft and springy texture of the udon mixes with the egg and pairs perfectly with the taste and flavor of their special soy sauce.

Okayama Kurashiki-shi Shimotsui

Located a six-minute drive from the Kojima Interchange on the Seto Chuo Expressway. This townscape is what remains of Edo-period Shimotsui, a historical port town that looks out at the Seto Inland Sea. Shimotsui thrived from the Edo period to the mid-Meiji period as a port for the trading of cotton and Nishin-kasu (fertilizer made from herring) on the Kitamaebune shipping route, as well as a lodging stop for Sanuki Kompira pilgrims crossing the sea. The road stretches from the shrine path leading to Gion Shine to eastern Tanoura, and is lined with classic herring storehouses and townhomes featuring stucco and Namako walls and classic tile roofs. The area has been designated a Prefectural Townscape Preservation District.

Other recommended dishes are their Karaage fried octopus and their Amakarani, a sweet and salty tender dish that is simmered for nearly 16 hours.

鷲羽山を散歩した後、評判に聞いていたこのお店を覗いてみました。一番にお孫さんから「いらっしゃい」と声を掛けられ、一気にアットホームな雰囲気に包まれました。カウンターと座敷の席があります。カウンターなら、動くタコ足がまな板に吸着して自らを固定し、調理されやすくなる不条理な姿を目撃することができます。単品で頼みましたが、タコの刺身は適度な弾力を保ったまま、しかし歯切れもよく、食べやすくしつらえてありま...

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
