Sano, Tochigi, Japan｜ぴのや

You have to visit this place if you're in the area. Not only is the local food delicious, but there's seating in the back where you can reset and enjoy Japanese conversation with locals. The owners are so welcoming and hospitable. I really recommend it!!

As a local, I've been eating fried potatoes since I was a kid, and they go really well with the special sauce here. It is recommended without flattery.

For the first time, I had Sano's specialty fried potatoes for 270 yen. There's nothing better than waiting a few minutes and eating hot, freshly-fried, drizzled with sauce. One skewer comes with 3 large potatoes, so even 1 potato is enough for a snack, but 3 pieces lightly filled my stomach. It looks like a croquette, but the batter contains only potatoes, so the taste and texture are different. And the price is impressive. Takeout is from 3 Bottles. The grilled offal on the outdoor table also smelled good and looked delicious.
