Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan｜常陸之國 もんどころ ひたちなか店

Kind staff with delicious food. English on their menu. Plus, vegan options!

I used it for takeout dinner on a solo trip to Ibaraki. I don't drink alcohol, so dinner is always a struggle. This place is right next to the hotel, and when I heard that they were doing takeout, it was very crowded and there seemed to be not enough staff. I went there without making a reservation over the phone, so I thought about giving up, but what about the manager? They kindly responded and asked me to pick it up an hour and a half later. The food was piping hot and delicious in our hotel room! Convenience stores and national chain stores tend to be bland, so it was nice to be able to try Ibaraki-style food. Thank you for your busy work♪

If you are traveling in Ibaraki Prefecture and want to try local cuisine, this is the place to go.
