Japanese restaurant • 63-4 Nishimachi, Kami, Kami District, Miyagi 981-4251, Japan
Tucked away in a small alley of Kami Town stands the "Iroha Shokudo." The old wooden building exudes the nostalgic charm of days gone by. Opening the glass door, you step into a retro Showa-era interior with counter seats and table seats.
Just a 5-minute drive from the Tohoku Expressway "Kami IC." It is conveniently located along the prefectural road, making it easily accessible by car. It is also within walking distance from the nearest Kami Station.
The menu mainly features classic dishes such as Chinese noodles, pork cutlet rice bowl, and tempura rice bowl. However, the exquisite flavors and taste of the broth will captivate your palate. The soup is filled with refined umami, and the crispy texture of the pork cutlet is a delight. The handmade flavors, maximizing the taste of the ingredients, rival those of long-established famous restaurants.
All the side dishes come with homemade pickles prepared by the owner. From salt-pickled to sweet vinegar, a variety of homemade pickles line up, making it irresistible to have more rice.
Surprisingly affordable prices attract local regulars during lunchtime. One of the charming aspects is the opportunity to enjoy retro flavors while being engulfed in the Showa-era ambiance inside the restaurant.
After the meal, it's nice to relax at the pure Japanese-style accommodation "Kami no Ie" in the town. The inn renovated from an old traditional house is embraced by the rural scenery and a warm atmosphere.
Visiting Iroha Shokudo, you will not only savor the food but also be intoxicated by the nostalgic atmosphere. The tranquil moments of Kami Town, exuding the aroma of the Showa era, will surely leave a lasting impression.
