Iga, Mie, Japan｜Furusato

I think I found a good shop. Although it is winter, I went over the mountains by bicycle from the direction of Lake Biwa. I found it while cycling along the national highway looking for a local restaurant in Iga. I jumped in without a reservation, but they kindly accepted me. Would you say that the inside of the store is a good Japanese culture? Just looking at the interior is enough. This time, I ordered the tofu dengaku set, which seemed to be easy to digest. I was surprised to receive more than 10 dengaku. It was delicious. I didn't ask, but it might be freshly grilled over charcoal. It may also be good for cycling as it is a mineral supplement. Next time, I would definitely like to try another recommended Iga beef.

I visited this restaurant because I wanted to try Iga beef. ■ Cooking We had Iga beef dice steak set and tofu dengaku. Since it was a dice steak, I expected it to be small, but it was the size of a cut steak and was thick enough to eat. The juicy meat that overflows when you bite into it, the umami, and the softness that you can bite through without using force. It was delicious. The tofu dengaku was also delicious, and the charcoal-grilled tofu was added with lightly sweetened miso. It's a fairly light dish, so I thought it would be more popular in the summer than in the winter. I was very satisfied because I could enjoy Iga beef and local cuisine at a reasonable price. ■ State of the store It is an old folk house-style building, and there are table seats, tatami mats, and private rooms, and there are many seats. I visited around 19:00 on Saturday, but there was only one group of customers, and it seemed to be a good atmosphere without a reservation. Smoke drifts in the store because they use charcoal fire for pottery. It seems that there is a need to be careful about that point because the clothes have a little smell. ■Others Because it is located off the Meihan national highway and the main street, it feels like a little-known spot. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were kind, and although it took some time to serve the food, I didn't feel bad at all.

The level of charcoal-grilled meat was good considering Iga beef at this price, and the sauce was delicious. Both the mother and son here were very bright and served customers, and I became a fan at once. Meat weight is also recommended. Since the through sales are valuable, I will go again. I enjoyed my leisurely time.
