Shimizu, Shizuoka, Japan｜Cannery Row Kakitagawa

Lovely hidden gem of a buffet style eatery. The main courses are mainly focused on pasta, pizza or Italian style cuisine. After choosing your main dish from the menu you are able to get unlimited drinks (non alcoholic), salad bar which contains more than salad, and delightful desserts. I was absolutely impressed with how presentable and tasteful the food/desserts were! I was told the desserts are made in the kitchen and not store bought which surprises me! The owner/main chef walks around assuring everyone’s happiness and was accommodating even to me as a foreigner with a language barrier as my Japanese language is limited. I had a great time and left happy and full 😅. Each meal that includes salad bar, drinks, and desserts basically cost $28usd.. and it’s well deserved! Quality food!

Outstanding food and service. The owner is very personable. He take pride in the food served and interacting with his patrons. We have been here multiple times and there is no bad choice on the menu! Be sure to get there when they open or you will have a hard time parking and will probably have to wait for a seat. Do not leave with out desert!

All I can say is that it's delicious no matter what you eat. My partner was also happy. I was very impressed with the careful preparation of each dish. I want to take out cake and pizza next time. There were more stores that I wanted to go to again, and I had a meaningful time. Thank you for visiting us again.
