Just a 10-minute drive from Amanohashidate, you'll find this izakaya nestled in a rice-rich area. The local sake flows freely, with a variety of dishes featuring local ingredients like watarigani (crab), hatahata (sandfish), and mannganji-togarashi (chili pepper). The place is popular among locals, who come to enjoy the offerings from nearby breweries such as Yosamon Sake Brewery, Taniguchi Sake Brewery, Hakurei Sake Brewery, Mukai Sake Brewery's "Kyoto no Haru," Takeno Sake Brewery, Yoshioka Sake Brewery, Kinoshita Sake Brewery, and Kumano Sake Brewery. On this visit, we tried Yosamon Sake Brewery's junmai ginjo and Yoshioka Sake Brewery's junmai sake. The overflowing glasses will leave you feeling tipsy! As for food, we enjoyed anago tempura, seasonal grilled eggplant, dried hatahata, mannganji-togarashi, tamagoyaki, and the famous udon noodles. All this for just around 4,000 yen per person.

I have used this izakaya several times before, and it is always crowded with customers. It is located near Nodagawa Station, just off a busy street, along a road used by locals. They have a wide variety of drinks, including local sake, and a diverse selection of dishes. In addition to their regular menu, they offer seasonal dishes and unique items like frog and crocodile meat, which I think you can only find here in this area. With counter seats and private rooms, this restaurant is versatile and can be used for various purposes.

This is a restaurant we went to for a friend's or company drinking party. When there were 12-3 people, we sat in the back tatami room. The front has a counter and sunken kotatsu seats. There are special menus available, including dishes made with alligator. I tried the classic options like rolled omelette, pizza, sashimi, and pork kimchi, but the taste was average. Each person has a placemat with a QR code that, when scanned with a phone, reveals a prize or a miss. Depending on the prize, you can receive tissues or special menu tickets, making it enjoyable.

This restaurant is located by the Nodagawa River. As expected in the countryside, they offer shuttle service for groups and have a microbus available. The interior has counter seats, table seats, and tatami rooms, accommodating many customers. The menu includes a variety of dishes such as ramen, soba, and even shark dishes. During the winter, the outdoor stall-like corner serves delicious simmering oden. Since this area is close to the sea, the seafood dishes are especially tasty.
