Ogawa, Saitama, Japan｜割烹 二葉

At the strong recommendation of a former employee of Saitama Bank, I visited here to try Chuushichi rice (according to the pamphlet, it is one of Japan's five famous meals). From the entrance, you can feel the history. A traditional Japanese inn. When you enter the entrance, you will be greeted by a waitress in Japanese clothes. He took the elevator to a tatami Japanese-style room on the second floor. Although it is a Japanese-style room, it has a table and chairs, and the companion is Chunanai Hanakago Gozen. I ordered eel and mabushi gozen. The flower basket consists of 4 small bowls with elegant seasonings. It also comes with sashimi and grilled fish. The eel kabayaki was also delicious and matched well with the strong sauce. Chunaname is rice covered with grilled seaweed, topped with wasabi, green onion, and yuzu, and ochazuke with soup stock, and it had a very elegant taste. I was told that the eel would be served about 30 minutes later than the Hanakago, but the original intention was fulfilled. While I was waiting, he offered me green onion nuts. It was a very satisfying lunch in terms of quantity, quality, and price. After your meal, you can take a walk in the Japanese garden at the back of the building. This was also great. His relationship with Yamaoka Tesshu, one of the Sanfune at the end of the Edo period, is introduced as the secret story of Tadanae's birth. We recommend that you take a look at the homepage and visit. There are about 10 parking spaces next to the store. There seems to be one in the back too.

I stopped by for lunch for the first time while going to a day trip hot spring in Ogawamachi. I found the ``Slightly Luxury Cultural Heritage Lunch'' available only on weekdays on the website of a Japanese-style inn with a history of over 270 years, and sent a reservation email around 11 PM. I received an OK reply from the inn in the morning, and I was grateful to hear that it was impossible. For the lunch menu, order Tadashichi Meshi Kaiseki for two people starting from 5,500 yen. I was given a room in the new building rather than the cultural property room that was listed on the website, but I was grateful that they could accommodate me as the reservation time was close to midnight the day before. Tadashichi Meshi Kaiseki is a course that starts with appetizers, soup dishes, sashimi, tempura, grilled fish, Tadashichi Meshi, and dessert. All of our delicious dishes were carefully prepared using local, seasonal ingredients while looking out at the lovely garden. The main dish, Tadashichimeshi, is a 140-year-old dish that has been selected as one of Japan's top five famous meals. A detailed introduction can be found on the inn homepage. We had a pleasant time enjoying the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and local sake from Ogawa-machi.

The garden was lovely and the atmosphere and customer service were special. Not only the food, but also the deliciousness that will make you forget your daily life for a while. Furthermore, the timing of when the food comes out is exquisite. It felt like a special day
