The other day I was taken to Iashukiya Sogo, a restaurant with an atmosphere where regulars seem to be enjoying their meals. The sashimi of kampachi and salmon, as well as the shellfish kimo, were wonderful. The seasonal bamboo shoot tempura was also exquisite with its crunchy texture and crispy batter.

Amazing! This is amazing! This atmosphere!
This is Mr. Miyake.
They have been making wagashi since 1907, and are the oldest of the long-established stores!
And this building, the former Konoike Residence Omoteya, was moved from Imabashi, Osaka in 1982 and restored.
A few years ago, Mr. Miyake opened a wagashi shop here.
The location is Tomio on the Kintetsu Line, where the semi-express, sectional semi-express, and local trains stop.
My cousin used to live in Tomio and I used to come here often.
I got off the train, but I didn't remember it at all - maybe because I was in elementary school?
On this day, I came to Tomio to see my friend's baby!
We arrived earlier than the appointed time and went to this place we wanted to go.
It is located in a quiet residential area! There it is!
But the surrounding houses are just as magnificent!
The soft noren curtain that leads you into the restaurant is very nice.
I went to the café at once!
Take off your shoes and enter the tatami matted floor.
We were told that we could take a seat anywhere, so we went to the corner where we could feel at home.
You can see the courtyard and it is very relaxing.
We were seated at 11:20 a.m. The strawberry milk was limited to 10 servings a day!
That's right, I must try the strawberry milk shaved ice here! I was determined to have strawberry milk shaved ice here! I decided to come here and ordered it immediately!
The store opens at 10:00, so there was ・・・・・・・・!
By the way, there were people who came after that!
Maybe there are on weekdays!
But the restaurant was 30% full.
The sound of ice shaving echoes from the kitchen!
Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Here he comes! I've missed you so much!
3 white balls, milk in syrup with strawberry grains showing!
The white balls are to be eaten first because they will get hard!
They were soft and smooth!
Kaki-gori is a very refined taste!
The strawberry syrup is made from carefully grown strawberries from contract farms.
No flavoring or coloring is used.
And yet, it smells of strawberries.
The syrup is very thick, so you have to eat it with ice or you will lose the taste!
The ice is stronger than the rice.
I wonder if the fluffiness was more like Ochanoko-san and Yukinoshita-san's.
Here, the syrup was a delicious shaved ice!
I'm not sure if they are still serving oyster ice now, so if you go there, please contact them in advance!
The Japanese sweets also looked delicious, but I gave up because I wouldn't be back all day!
Tomio, it seems that there are many good ramen stores in the fierce battle zone of ramen shops these days!
I think it would be a good idea to visit there as a set.
Next time, let's come back to eat, with green tea!
