Daigo, Ibaraki, Japan｜Takimoto

At Fukuroda Touring I came to the restaurant Takimoto. Parking is free if you use the store. Salt-grilled sweetfish (500 yen) Non-alcoholic beer (300 yen) The staff at the store were also friendly and nice.

I went with 4 friends. I thought it would be the famous Kenchin soba, but I gave up on it due to the intense heat. I ordered cold vegetable tempura soba. The vegetables are tempura of local vegetables and wild plants! I was surprised at how sweet the pumpkin was. I also ordered the salt-grilled sweetfish! The skin is crispy and the flesh is soft! The way it was grilled was exquisite, and I even added some to take home on the way home. The staff members are also polite and kind, which makes me feel relieved! My stomach is full! Next time, I'm thinking of going to eat some warm Kenchin soba during the winter illuminations.

I had the cold nameko soba and wild vegetable soba. The noodles were chewy and the soup was so delicious that I drank it all. Soba is 700 yen The homemade pickles are also really delicious. The homemade chili peppers🌶 were spicy, but I sprinkled them on the soba noodles and pickled vegetables. It's really delicious, so be sure to buy it as a souvenir.
