Hitachiomiya, Ibaraki, Japan｜田舎料理 家和楽

It's an old folk house with a pond in the courtyard where you can see carp swimming. The abundant use of garden stones creates a calming space with the sound of water. We also have salt-grilled sweetfish, but it's nice to be able to eat salt-grilled sweetfish with roe in the fall. Each piece is carefully baked and delicious. There is also a set meal of sweetfish. The homemade konnyaku miso flavor is also delicious. There are zaru soba, tsukekenchin soba, and kenchin soba, and Ibaraki is famous for kenchin soba. The seasoning differs between the northern part of the prefecture and the southern part of the central prefecture. Miso and soy sauce seasoning will change. This is a happy restaurant where you can eat kenchin with lots of ingredients.

I stopped by before going to the campsite. There are cats in the parking lot so be careful when parking. Walking down the slope to the entrance, it is a wooden structure that looks like a country house, with a large wooden pillar in the middle that makes an impact. There was a pond in the bright, glass-enclosed garden, with carp swimming in the clear water. There are grilled sweetfish set meals, Kenchin soba, and udon noodles that require reservations, and there are three types of grilled fish: regular sweetfish, young sweetfish, and sweetfish with roe. Usually it's just one dog, but I was able to make it into a set meal for two. My friend and I ordered a sweetfish and young sweetfish set meal and shared them and compared them. It takes a while since the food is grilled to order, but during that time you'll be served sashimi konnyaku with miso sauce and pickles, making you feel like you've come to your grandmother's house in the countryside. Although the young ayu was smaller than regular ayu, it was soft and delicious without any bitterness. The adult sweetfish was also a satisfying size and delicious. The Kenchin soup, which is made with local miso and has a lot of ingredients, has a strong miso flavor and goes well with the vegetables. The toilet was located at the end of the parking lot, but it was clean, air conditioned, and very hospitable. A cat was relaxing under the car, so I asked her to step back and we started. I want to go again.

A soba restaurant with a retro Showa feel.❢There is a dirt floor right after you enter, and there is a place where you can slowly grill sweetfish.😄The sashimi konnyaku was made with homemade miso, and had a nostalgic taste that reminded me of my grandmother.👍The seats are also spacious. The large garden is also worth seeing❣I want to go see the very kind landlady again🙇
