Otsu, Shiga, Japan｜清林駅前店

The regulars who drop in after their train commutes fill this small, lively place, so you may wish to do as I did and pop in at 4 or 5 to make a reservation for 6 or 7. I was able to grab a single seat at the bar and became the adopted foreigner for the evening. Really fun, delicious experience.

humble eatery, welcoming hosts, and the best oyako-don we’ve had!

It was so delicious! Kind and polite! You can eat fish from Lake Biwa!
