Takasaki, Gunma, Japan｜Ikedaya

Arrive around 1130 on weekdays There are about 10 parking spaces in a row next to the store. There is also a second parking lot. The restaurant was already full. I wrote my name on the waiting board and it took about 15 minutes. I waited and got in. Ikedaya is very popular! I was thinking of having some quick soba noodles, but when I asked the customers who came after me, they said it's so popular that there's always a wait. All the menu items looked delicious, but this time I ordered the tempura. The amount of tempura was amazing! Filled with squid, shrimp, shiso leaves, pumpkin, lotus roots, maitake mushrooms, and eggplant. The amount of soba was average, but it was easy to eat and balanced well with the tempura. The crispy fried tempura was also very delicious. The rice bowls also look very delicious. I want to try the rice bowls next time.

It's been 30 years since I came to Gunma. So much soba and tempura It was my first time at a nice restaurant. Freshly fried crispy tempura. I want to learn how to make it (laughs) Parking lots and shops are small and narrow I can't help it. I don't eat it every day, so if I want to eat soba or tempura, I would go to Ikedaya.😋 I've only been there 3 times so far. I want to eat various menus too 🎵
