四万十市中村にある日本料理店。夕食に、アラ煮定食1100円とカツオのたたき半人前を注文。ブリのあら煮は身が柔らかくて味も良く、ご飯とよく合っていました。カツオのたたきはその美味しさにしびれました。手頃な価格でこの味を出しています。アラを綺麗に食べたら、感心していただき、こちらもうれしくなりました。

お昼に利用しました。帯屋町壱番街の中で東側の方です。店は通りの角にあり、メニューの写真が多数外にあります。かつおにしようかとも思いましたが、前日の夕食に別の店で藁焼きを食べていたので、しらす丼の定食にしました。うどんがセットでした。しらす丼の方は美味しかったです。海鮮以外のメニューもありました。中央公園駐車場の割引スタンプの対象の店になっていました。地元の方も気軽に利用している店のようでした。

廿代町のグリーンロード沿いのビルの2階です。今回は、高知の地酒と一緒に土佐ジロー等をいただきました。お通しはブリ大根はブリのハラスはトロッと、切身はしっかりと味が染みていました。土佐ジローは、掴むと肉がしっかり絞まっているのが分かりました。塩コショウはしてありましたが、食べる時用に、ゆず胡椒が付いていました。まず、何も付けないでそのままの弾力を感じて食べることをお勧めします。

予約して訪問しました。 兼ねてから皿鉢が食べてみたくてお邪魔したのですがメニュー見ていたら、あれもこれも魅力的な料理が多く迷いましたがやはり6千円の皿鉢を注文。 カツオは勿論、メニューに載っていた気になる鯨料理もいくつか入っていましたし、ウツボの唐揚げそして土佐巻も載っていてとにかくお腹いっぱいで後から頼もうと思っていた他のメニューにはたどり着けませんでした。これ一皿で土佐料理堪能できました!

- Kochi Aki-shi Doi 1017-1
- A restaurant tucked away in an idyllic rural area. They offer a variety of items made with local Aki specialties. One of these is chirimen-jako (dried juvenile fish); they offer two types of rice bowls made with this: their regular Kamaage Chirimen Bowl and their Kakiage Chirimen Bowl. The Kakiage Chirimen Bowl is a local specialty, a hearty gem featuring a kakiage fritter made with chirimen-jako and wild vegetables, with even more chirimen-jako layered beneath. Adding condiments such as seaweed, grated radish, and sesame will give it a lighter flavor. The shop also sells souvenirs and specialty products, making it the perfect place to stop while strolling around Doikachu.

Aki is famous for eggplants and chirimen, and you can get your fill of both here. I recommend the chirimendon or the eggplant curry (only available on certain days).

Kochi Areas
The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
