Hitachiomiya, Ibaraki, Japan｜レストラン常陸亭(ひたちてい)

Visit in late summer or early fall. I was told that I was hungry in the middle of the day, so I decided to eat here. I didn't have any particular expectations, but when I used the ayu tempura, the ayu tempura was fluffy and had an elegant taste and was delicious. I wonder if people who don't like grilled sweetfish or river fish can use this.

I visited on a weekday afternoon. Perhaps because of the autumn leaves and soba season, it was very lively even on a weekday and the cars were almost full. This is a soba restaurant in a roadside station with a very nice atmosphere. I had duck soba dipping sauce. It was delicious. There were many groups lined up, so I think it was difficult for hungry people. I think that it is easy to visit with about 2 people. Anyway, there were a lot of people, so I left early. I think you can enjoy it more if you enter when there are few people.

A roadside station that I go to only when I want to eat sweetfish tempura soba while driving. I have a preference, but it is normal for soba. Ayu tempura is crispy and doesn't have the unique smell of river fish, so I highly recommend it. As a roadside station, it is well managed, and the selection of souvenirs is not bad. Vegetables and fruits are fresh and delicious. Due to the location, the impression is that it is a roadside station with a touristy atmosphere rather than a local one. One of the recommended roadside stations for those who want to casually enjoy nature, especially the riverside. I think that you can taste the feeling of being a big child. Finally, if you encounter salt-grilled sweetfish (street stall type rather than grilled in a store), I would like you to eat it even if you line up. The meat is fluffy and the skin is crisp. And I'm happy that it's reasonably priced.
