    先日８時過ぎに伺おうと思い、L.O.を電話にて確認、８時半までと言われたので急いで車を走らせ８時20分過ぎに到着すると準備中の看板が店の前に。納得が行かず、店前から電話にて連絡を取ると〝ちょっと確認して参ります…（店長に確認？）すみませんが、本日は閉店となりました。〟 正直怒りを通り越して呆れてしまいました。何度か伺ったことのある店で、コスパの良い店だと思っていましたが、二度と行きません。 お客様...

    梨の季節、名産地の伊万里を訪ねました。 そのあとにランチ。伊万里だったら“ここでしょう”と意見が一致。 13時頃に行きましたが、 相変わらず多くて15分程待ちました。 “ときそば”¥837おろし蕎麦をいただきました。 友人は“玉子丼”。 蕎麦は細く、味はまずまずでした。 日曜日だからなのか、ファミリーが多かったです。 お座敷とテーブル席と選べます。 駐車場もあります。

    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Kobira 2-1-3
    About 400 years ago, Ri Sampei discovered the ore used for Arita ware porcelain and laid the foundation for its development. This pottery is resurrecting the techniques he developed through repeated trial and error with other potters when he came to Japan from Korea to make porcelain. Using Arita's unique Izumiyama porcelain stone (known as Sanpeido) as a raw material, they make vessels that embrace modern living, as well as pieces with shading and fastening techniques rarely found even among early Imari ware.

    "The restaurant is a direct seller of Aridari, which has won the highest gold medal in the West Japan flavor variety category of the Karaage Grand Prix for three consecutive years, and has a high repeat customer rate and attracts fans from outside the prefecture as well. The boneless fried chicken, the hearty ""Sanzoku momo"" and the crunchy ""Sunazuri karaage"" are all highly recommended."

  • Tofu no Takahashi
    Shopping
    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Honmachi Hei 1525
    Arita's water quality is so high that sake brewers go to great lengths to seek it out. This tofu shop uses it to make godofu, a local Arita specialty. The local favorite Takahashi no Godofu is made from nothing but 100% Saga Prefecture grown Fukuyutaka soybeans and Hokkaido potato starch. Some days it sells out by noon, so it's a good idea to stop in early.

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
