Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan｜食堂いおり

This is my third visit today, and this time too the parking lot is full. I have not been able to enter this store until now due to the parking lot and business hours. On that day, I was able to enter the store for the first time after 1pm by waiting in the parking lot. The inside of the store had a bright cafe-like atmosphere, and we were guided to a table for two. After looking at the menu, I ordered the recommended fried oyster set meal for 1,500 yen and decided to enjoy seasonal cuisine. Well, the fried oysters were large and perfectly executed. When you eat it, it has a springy texture and is very delicious when paired with the homemade tartar sauce. The miso soup has an elegant taste with thick seaweed and mixed miso soup stock. I really liked it. When I left the restaurant, very satisfied with my meal, there were several cars waiting in the parking lot. It was around 1:30 p.m., but as soon as I left the store, the sign changed to CLOSED. As expected, these two walls are tough. Still, I think it's a restaurant worth going to eat.

It looks like a typical Western restaurant, but the menu has many Japanese-style dishes. The amount looks normal, but it's surprisingly voluminous. The taste is absolutely delicious. The menu seems to change depending on the day, so I'm looking forward to going again next time.

I had a set meal of boiled Spanish mackerel. It's surprisingly fluffy, and the ginger aroma whets your appetite. The miso soup had a gentle seasoning that made me feel relieved. A lunch where you can thoroughly enjoy rice, fish, soup stock, and more. I would like to come again
