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.
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 🏫.

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.
It is very easy to access as it is located inside the station building. The interior has soft lighting and a moist atmosphere. There are many dishes that make use of Shinshu ingredients, and all of them are carefully prepared and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the sashimi of Shinshu salmon, which had a refreshing taste. The soba is also of high quality, and the duck soba has a wonderful aroma that satisfied me. There is a wide variety of drinks, including wine, and you can also enjoy dishes like rolled omelet and parfait.
