Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜小さな居酒屋 驛のまえ ekinomae

Amazing meal, owners were incredible and did everything to make our meal special - they surprised us with 4 different vegetable and sashimi appetizers throughout the meal, all free! Very nice non-seafood options available too. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone. So good, forgot to take more photos!

The staff were very friendly and looked after us well! Like a local ma and pa shop. We ordered the beef (牛定食) and pork cutlet (豚カツ定食). The owner also treated us to some sashimi, which was unexpected and very kind of him! Food was yum and affordable. This restaurant just has seating around the bar, like a ramen restaurant roughly 6 to 8 seats. Conveniently located across the road from the station

Came across Ekinome when transferring trains. Food was diligently prepared. We ordered four unagi dons which all came with four appetizers and a desert. All delicious! We were even given two beers for treat. Very worth it! Loved this place.
