Shimotsuma, Ibaraki, Japan｜割烹小島

I received fried Hiroshima oysters! The large crispy oysters are insanely delicious! Highly recommended!

This is an old-fashioned popular restaurant that is loved by locals. Although it is a ``kappo'' restaurant, the prices are not that high and the menu is quite extensive. Recommended dishes are motsuni and shrimp tempura bowl.

I came here because I wanted to eat grilled fish. Toro mackerel set meal...it was delicious. It's big, thick, and just the right amount of salt. I don't like things that are too greasy, whether it's meat or fish, so I was a little hesitant to call it fatty, but it was absolutely delicious. I don't know whether to eat it without leaving the skin or not, but when I noticed it, it was baked so fragrant that there was almost no skin left, and I was so happy. It's delicious as is, but it's like lemon, grated radish, and ginger. After pouring soy sauce on it, I used mackerel to make king mackerel. It may be different depending on the day, but the small bowl comes with something like mapo tofu, which is naughty in a good way. The food is going so fast that I can't stop. The miso soup with clams makes me feel like I'm on the ocean. The Toro Hokke set meal I received later on was fluffy and fluffy, and the stir-fried meat and vegetables I ordered with it were also delicious. Since it's a kappo restaurant, I thought it was inappropriate for my social status, but the menu was so expositional that all I could think about was what to eat. I ordered the set meal with soy sauce ramen, and it had a simple and gentle taste. If I came here wanting to eat soy sauce ramen, I might have given up, but it's hard to find the feeling of being able to drink all the soup without feeling guilty anywhere else, so this is it. It's so guilty to combine ramen with soup as a set meal. Furthermore, soba and udon noodles are also available, so there are no blind spots. This is a long-established store that has been around since before I was born, so I wonder why I didn't know about it until now. I don't understand.
