Wakayama, Japan｜Shokuraku Azuma

This is a hidden gem. My family always uses it. A restaurant with a counter, a tatami room, and one table. A variety of dishes are created through the careful work of the husband and his parents who work behind the scenes. Today's menu has roughly 20 items, and in addition to that, there are a lot of regular menu items as well. It's an unpretentious restaurant with a great atmosphere, where you can casually enjoy Kyoto's Michelin-starred kaiseki cuisine for around 20,000 yen per person. The people working there are kind and considerate!

Everything I ate was delicious, but the assorted sashimi platter, sea bream rice, and abalone were the best.

2022.9 Shokuryaku Azuma Names that are more than just an izakaya but less than a kappo restaurant are not fancy. The atmosphere, customer service, and taste of the food are all of a high standard. The impression is that it is a hideaway restaurant for adults. Sitting at the counter, sipping sake, snacking on delicious appetizers, and having a lively conversation with the owner. I think I’m finally at an age where something like this suits me… (lol)
