Iwaki, Fukushima, Japan｜交流スペース勿来（なっくる）

Renewal of the former public lodging Nakoso Sekiso, A cafe that specializes in fermented foods. It is located in a quiet place surrounded by nature, near Nakoso Seki. The renovated store is bright, and despite the large number of seats, there is plenty of space between them, so it feels spacious. The lights on the ceiling are also retro and nice. The menu is not many, but I'm curious about all of them. This time, plus the B lunch We also ordered drinks. Chicken marinated in shio-koji is tender and juicy. It's very delicious with sweet seasoning and black vinegar! Everything is carefully seasoned, such as pork miso soup with lots of ingredients and simmered daikon radish in a small bowl. The vegetables were home-grown, and the rice bran pickles were delicious. The smiling staff explained the dishes carefully. The customer service was also very nice. *postscript 2023/03 revisit fermented chicken curry Ordered raw aloe yogurt. The chicken curry was thick and very mild and sweet. Chicken marinated in salt koji is also soft. It comes with mustard miso, so you can change the taste. The yoghurt is homemade and has a thick texture, similar to the Caspian Sea yoghurt. The raw aloe was really raw, not in syrup. It has a bitter taste, so I think you should use agave syrup. I ate raw aloe for the first time, but it seems to be good for the body with a crunchy texture. *postscript 2023/07 fermented hamburger I ordered the summer limited fermented plum squash. The hamburg steak does not use bread crumbs, so it is not the fluffy type, but you can feel the taste of the meat and the meat juices overflow. The pickled vegetables and pork miso soup, which I don't have many opportunities to eat in the summer, were delicious with the scent of yuzu. Fermented plum squash made with homemade syrup is refreshing and perfect for hot summer days. It was a sunny day after the rainy season. The windows in the store were open and the sea breeze was very cool.

This is my second visit here! Lunch at a fermented food shop made with natural ingredients! It's good for your body! At Aozora Restaurant, Mokomichi, Daisuke Miyagawa, and other celebrities also came, right? ! I have a photo! It's word of mouth, right? Amazake at the end! This is not your usual amazake, but it has some unusual ingredients that are good for your body! Anyway, whatever you eat is (๑´ڡ`๑)!

I ordered B lunch. The stir-fried chicken and eggplant with salt koji was very delicious. The amount of simmered food that came with it was just right, and the salad leaves were homemade and had a slight spiciness, giving it an accent and making it very delicious. The rice flour chiffon cake for dessert is not too sweet and I think even men can enjoy it. Drinks can be added for an additional 200 yen. By the way, the cheese hamburger lunch was also delicious.
