Kinokawa, Wakayama, Japan｜Kitamise

I arrived around 11:15 on a Saturday, and was worried that the restaurant would be open without any customers, but the staff came and the restaurant was full of reservations, but I was told that it was okay if I was alone, and I was given a seat for one person. He was a nice guy. I went with the intention of eating the A set, but the C set comes with soba, so since I'm a soba fan, I had no hesitation in choosing the C. After a while, it arrived, and the tempura was yam, paprika, maitake mushroom, pumpkin, and deep-fried rockfish. Shrimp and vegetable taitan, taramo salad, and mini soba noodles. I also appreciate the unlimited cold tea in the thermos. What surprised me most was the statement on the back of the menu that said 100 yen would be charged for refills from the fourth bowl of rice. what? The third drink is free, which is nice. I had two bowls of delicious yam rice, added yam to my soba noodles, and enjoyed the Japanese yam. Thank you very much for the meal.

I didn't make a reservation, but they kindly let me in, and I enjoyed everything except the soba, which was out of stock. The Japanese yam and Koshihikari rice is really delicious, and I feel like I can have multiple bowls of it. The tempura was also light and good.

A hidden village store. The menu is small, but the Japanese yam is very delicious. Naturally, they grow wild yam, but it seems that the owner originally had a hobby of looking for wild yam. The personality of a couple with such love is also good.
