I went to this restaurant in search of healthy meals! Besides this location in Ibaraki, there is also a restaurant in Kyoto that offers similar menus. It’s a very popular place known for its rice plates that incorporate seasonal vegetables and ingredients, as well as a variety of kamameshi (rice cooked in a pot).

This time, I had the seasonal kamameshi, and since it was autumn, there were many limited-time menu items not found on the regular menu! If you ask the staff about the limited menu items, they will gladly tell you!

I ordered:

• Scallop and Ikura (salmon roe) Kamameshi
• Chicken Kamameshi

The piping hot, freshly made kamameshi had fluffy rice, plenty of ingredients, and a nice crispy layer at the bottom. The flavors were well absorbed, and it was a dish that allowed me to fully experience the essence of autumn!
