Hitachi, Ibaraki, Japan｜和食みさと

Good restaurant for traditional Japanese food. It's on the more expensive side, but you get a really great traditional experience. Low tables which you sit on the floor, but there's a sort of hole under the table so you can still stretch your legs down and out if you can't sit cross legged for that long. They also have a huge dining space on the second floor to host corporate events or other large gatherings. The shop owner is so sweet. She said hello to me every morning as I walked by, sometimes I stopped to chat. She gave me a tour of the place at one point, which is how I know about the corporate event space. And she even gifted me some leftover rice at the end of the day once when I was on my way back from work. Great people and great food.

■2023/04 visit Visit to coincide with the opening time of 11:30 on weekdays. The parking lot is located across the road on the east side of the store and can accommodate 7 to 8 cars. The inside of the store is like a private room, and although I couldn't see the whole thing, it seems to be quite spacious. There were two tatami rooms on the second floor that could be used for banquets. This time we were guided to a private room for 4 people. Today, I ordered "Lunch Set A/Pork Ginger Grilled Gozen" (1350 yen) and "Lunch Set A/Sukiyaki Gozen" (1350 yen). Lunch set A comes with grilled fish, and you can choose salmon or mackerel. The main dishes are voluminous, with grilled fish, 4 small bowls, and mini soba noodles, so you'll be full. You can also get refills of rice for free. The taste is basically delicious. The ginger grilled fish and grilled fish are especially good. Both are great as side dishes to rice. The sukiyaki wasn't the sweet type, so I guess it wasn't that good. Also, the soba noodles had a strong feeling of being a bonus. It's not bad. I think it's just a matter of preference. It's a bit difficult to visit because it's closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but I thought it was a very good store. It was delicious, and considering the contents of the food, it seemed like a restaurant with good cost performance. Another high point is that the staff at the store provide very pleasant customer service. I'm sorry to bother you again!
