Setouchi, Okayama, Japan｜Katsura

I thought it was a hidden gem. There are no other places to eat along the coast, but I never expected to find a restaurant like this. Each item is not flashy, but a large number of items are arranged little by little, making it a pleasure to eat. Although it was light, it had a lot of flavor and was a really delicious meal. Even with dessert, it's very reasonable. I would also like to visit you during lunch time. Reservations are recommended for next year.

Rumor has it that if you don't make a reservation on holidays... We visited for lunch on a weekday, so when we visited, the previous customers were leaving and the restaurant was reserved for private use. It seemed like a daily lunch, so the main dish was two types of kakiage of fava beans, simmered hijiki, radish gratin style, two types of salad, and the soup was well seasoned and very delicious. After lunch, I ordered a set of marble cake, apple cake, coffee jelly, vanilla ice cream, and coffee.The cake was small, but the apple cake was very delicious. It's probably best to come on weekdays for lunch where you can relax and forget about time. It seemed like a restaurant with many regulars.

The menu designed by a nutritionist is delicious and healthy. I want to use this as a model for my daily meals. The traditional Japanese house built by a carpenter overlooks the Seto Inland Sea and is very relaxing. You'll never get tired of enjoying the carvings in the transom or leisurely looking at the hanging scroll in the tokonoma. I visited on a weekday, and it was crowded with locals, so I recommend making a reservation.
