Minokamo, Gifu, Japan｜THE SHIP ザシップ

I always wanted to go to this restaurant from last year. Since I can’t eat meat, I tried their Falafel with Wedges and Pita Bread, it was so filling and delicious. Though the place is a bit small, the atmosphere was great, the owner was so kind.

Amazing food, I loved every flavour. The owners made big effort to make us feel comfortable. Definitely coming back :)

I won’t be short.. want to talk about the location first: situated in center Minokamo city on the old “nakasendo road” a very super cute place with a super cute terrace (built from the owner himself) ,place offers only 10 (wide) counter seats with an open kitchen,so you can have a nice chat with the owner chef Robert. I Went there for lunch time because a friend recommended it. There is a Large lunch selection which allow that allow you to choose the best food experience you want to have. 8 different dishes that you can experience from the east to the west side of the Mediterranean Sea. We were 5 people and we tried 6 of it and every plate came with a totally ingredients,and lovely flavors,well balanced ,respecting the tradition of each country,not at last with affordable price,good volume and good value! Was a big surprise To Find a place like that in a place like Minokamo! Also there is a nice choice of wine selection,picking some of the nicest grapes and wineyard not only in Mediterranean area but all around the world. Owner chef and wife keep you in a warm and friendl environment! I’m sorry to not be able to take a picture of all the food cause at the same time the first plates arrived we start to eat it cause it looked super delicious! Place is just one year open and I really recommend you a lot! Thank you for everything mr Robert Shipman and wife and hope to see you soon! I will certainly come again the next Time I pass through Minokamo area!
