Minakami, Gunma, Japan｜Daruma

This was the best food of our trip, loved every bite! Had the pork belly and potatoes, fried chicken, and sashimi. Portions are very generous, prices are very reasonable. The cook is quite kind and our food came out quickly. Would definitely come back again if we end up in the area.

This place was such a gem! It might look intimidating first because it is underground but trust me, it is worth it. The menu is in English but not everything has a price on it but don’t worry, the food is incredibly affordable and the portion sizes are huge! We got karaage, oden and chicken yakitori. I have never seen such big karaage (6 pieces) and chicken yakitori (3 skewers). Everything was triple the size of what you would get in Tokyo but half the price. And the taste was delicious!!! Creds to the owner!

The place is a hidden gem. The man behind the bar is a master and prepares the most amazing sashimi plate with real wasabi. True quality. The atmosphere is laidback and very relaxed. Definitely recommend eating here all you can and drinking even more! Wish a had a place like this next to my home.
