Takasaki, Gunma, Japan｜Izakaya Kurata –Kagaribi–

We are a couple of Italian tourists and we stopped for dinner at Izakaya Kurata. Everything was perfect, the welcome from the waitresses, the cheerful but discreet atmosphere, but above all we loved the food cooked by the owner, superb. We even had a chat with a girl who was sitting next to us. At the end we tasted some sake recommended by the owner, the choice is very wide, we were served a limited production sake, exceptional. The cost of the dinner in our opinion was more than fair, we would like to come back again.

5 minutes walk from the west exit of Takasaki Station. [b:'izakaya Kurata -Ryo kagaribi-']. I returned to Takasaki Station after work a little before 18:00. It's been a long time since I've been to Takasaki, so I should have a drink before heading home. hey. So I looked around the west exit. According to my colleague who was with me, ``Takasaki is the west exit''. As I was strolling through the back alleys, I found a sign that caught my attention. Gunma doesn't have a beach, but you can enjoy the seafood and the delicacies of the mountains. Above all, lots of sake♪ So I decided on this one. The store is on the second floor up the stairs. Since it was still a little early, I was the first one in. The store is long and narrow from left to right. Counter seats on the right, table seats on the left. Table seats are semi-private rooms separated by curtains. I was guided to a seat by the window at the very back. Relax and relax on the sofa♪ For the time being, I said, ``Thank you for your hard work.'' It's the best one lol There are many interesting menu items, but here are some of the best selections. ＊ Assortment of three types of sashimi of the day ¥1480 ・Lean meat of tuna ・Firefly squid ・I forgot one more thing...lol Everything tastes fresh and delicious. The effect is perfect with dry ice. * Assortment of three types of meat sashimi (limited to 3 meals) ¥2620 ・Joshu beef thigh from Gunma prefecture ・Lean horse sashimi from Kumamoto prefecture ・Chiran chicken from Kagoshima Prefecture I decided in seconds that I was only going to eat three meals a day. This is also extremely fresh and delicious. This one also appeared wrapped in dry ice. * Deep-fried conger eel and crab in almond batter ¥980 From today's recommendations. Fluffy fried conger eel and crab paste. The texture with the crunchy almond coating is exquisite. Hollandaise sauce is also perfect ❤︎ * Fried corn ¥500 This is also from today's recommendation. A masterpiece that goes well with the alcohol thanks to the perfect amount of salt. ＊Salted squid ¥430 You can't miss it when it comes to Japanese sake. I think the addition of shiso leaves is really thoughtful. As you can see in the photo, all the dishes are photogenic ❤︎ The food is beautifully presented in beautiful bowls. We have a lineup of 20 types of sake that go well with such wonderful dishes, including brands from Gunma and other regions. As long as I'm happy. Tonight's sake I picked up from among these. I took the opportunity to make it “All Gunma”. *Yuito Special Junmai Unfiltered Chudori Raw (Gunma) * Hiroshi Junmai Daisakazuki (Gunma) * Ryuki Junmai Ginjo (Gunma) Both food and sake are of high quality with a wide variety of menus. It's a nice restaurant where you can relax and enjoy your meal with great hospitality from the staff. A store like this that you would be happy to have in your neighborhood. If I ever come to Takasaki again, I'll definitely come back. Very satisfied. Thank you for the meal (^人^)
