Nasushiobara, Tochigi, Japan｜rustico

Top restaurant. A nice and lovely twist between Italian and Japanese food. Very friendly owners and small but nice open kitchen. Definitely worth a visit.

Exit Kuroiso Station and walk left for a while. It's an inconspicuous feeling, but it has an Italian atmosphere with a garden. The parking lot has plenty of space. The space between tables is not very large. When I entered the store, it was crowded at lunchtime and I was able to sit down without waiting in line. It seems that there is also gelato takeout at the store. The food was colorful and delicate Italian, and the chef was a man, but I could see the feminine sensibility. The taste was strong where it was strong, and the refreshing was sharp and refreshing, and the pasta was also served with a wonderful finish. Dessert gelato is vanilla x tomato. It was refreshing and the taste was thick and very delicious. Next time I would like to have it with a glass of wine. Thank you for your meal 🙏

A hideaway-like shop about a 10-minute walk from Kuroiso Station. At night when the surroundings became dark, the lights of the shops were conspicuous. There is also a parking lot. On the day, I was made by myself, but I was able to serve customers politely. Not only knives and forks, but also chopsticks were provided. All the food I ate was delicious and satisfying. It was the first time I learned that such large mussels can be caught in Sanriku. There are many types of handmade gelato, and I ordered a double. It was very delicious.
