In September, there are only a few places where you can eat shaved ice, but you can eat shaved ice all year round.

I got a lovely looking one 🧸♡♡♡

This year I've been eating a lot of tea ice and fruit ice, so I ordered caramel for the first time and it was simply delicious!
The syrup matched the ice and it was really sweet, rich and delicious!!!

They also had soft noodles on the menu (something that used to be served at school lunch in the past), so I want to go back for that when the weather gets colder 🏫.

A specialty shop for hot and juicy Ueda-style fried chicken

Their signature 'Oishidare Karaage' is coated in flour and fried after you place your order, ensuring that it is always served hot and juicy. Its convenient location, directly connected to Ueda Terminal, adds to its appeal, and takeout is also very popular. This is the perfect spot for those looking to casually experience local flavors.
It was fatty, fluffy and crispy on the outside, and very tasty.
I wish there had been a little more rice than the amount of eel.
The grilled liver was also great.

Mayu and "Sleepless Jimpachi" back from Obon vacation.
I love this restaurant where you are told that you are served an appetizer, a shichirin is placed in front of you, and you are offered a variety of seafood to choose one of your favorites.
On this day, I chose dried ray fins soaked in flavor and a plump blowfish that looked as if it would tear off its meat.
Everything is delicious here.
The chicken skin gyoza was the best.
The photo shows hamo tempura, summer vegetables and mussels with garlic butter, mentaiko dashi maki tamago and seafood yukke.
The menu changes, so I hope to go back.
On the way home, I had ice cream with Mayu, took pictures and videos, and played with her.
She's as cute as ever. I want a girlfriend.
Come back anytime.

Ich habe ein Gericht aus dem Mittagsmenü bestellt, ohne ein zusätzliches Gericht zu wählen. Ich bin ein Wiederholungstäter und habe das Restaurant mehr als 10 Mal besucht. Da es ein beliebtes Restaurant ist, gibt es oft Probleme mit der Reservierung am selben Tag, aber diesmal war es gerade noch in Ordnung. Auf jeden Fall war das Essen, das voller knuspriger frittierter Speisen (Garnelen-Tempura und Schweinefilet, sowie verschiedene Gemüsesorten) und frischem Sashimi, Salat und mehr war, sehr zufriedenstellend. Die Chawanmushi war auch sehr geschmackvoll und köstlich. Es war auch sehr nett, dass es drei verschiedene Arten von eingelegtem Gemüse in separaten Behältern gab.
