Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan｜Mikura

I'm local but this is my first visit. The interior is dimly lit and has a folk art feel to it. There aren't many young customers, so I'm glad that it's a restaurant for adults where you can relax and not be noisy. There seems to be a tatami room for groups of people who have made a reservation. A group of office workers was also visiting after work. When I visited again on a weekday, there were only other customers with reservations (two groups in the back room). I was able to eat slowly at a table. This time as well, the three types of side dishes were beautiful and delicious. The BGM is wired 80's pop music for some reason, which is a gap lol As it claims to be an obanzai restaurant, I was satisfied with all the small side dishes and other dishes that were elegant and well-seasoned. There are about 10 types of Japanese sake, and if you order by the glass, they will pour it for you. This is a perfect size glass for people who want to compare different brands. Even though it was a vegetable dish, it had a strong taste, so it was perfect for pairing with alcohol. There are 3 types of appetizers, and the quality is good enough that you can drink it on its own. The fried food was also perfectly fried. I wondered if there wasn't much sashimi on this day. I would like to try it next time. This is a restaurant where smoking is allowed. As a non-smoker like myself, that's a shame, but the store goes out of its way to say "smoking is allowed," so if you really don't like smoking, you don't have to go there. On this day, there were no smokers around and only the customers at the counter were smoking, so I was able to spend a comfortable time without worrying. There is one restroom near the entrance, and it is unisex. Payment is by cash or credit card. QR code payment is not supported. It's close to the shopping street and close to Kurashiki Station, so it might be a shop that tourists will also like.

A late visit on a Friday night. The shop itself is small, and although it was almost full, it was barely open, so it was safe. There was a wide variety of food and drinks, and they were all delicious. The picture is of pickled chicken and mamagari. Both were GOOD. The tempura is also crispy and the assortment is cheap and many! I definitely want to use it again

Damn it, it was delicious. All the food was delicious.
