BAR ENTER   1. Kirakutei As a late breakfast, I had “Misawa Hokki Don” at “Kirakutei” in Misawa City. The definition of “Misawa Hokki Don” is “uses Misawa Sakhalin surf clams (fished during the period from December 1st to March 31st when the ban on fishing is lifted)”, which is a local gourmet in Misawa City. I visited Misawa in November 2020, but I couldn’t eat it because it was before the ban on Sakhalin surf clam fishing was lifted. I really wanted to eat “Misawa Hokki Don” this time, so I’m glad I could. “Kirakutei” opened at 11 o’clock and I entered the store first. After that, more and more customers entered the store, and it was almost full after 11:10. It is a popular store. “Kirakutei” is in front of Misawa Station. “Misawa Hokki Don” (Yen 1,250) of “Kirakutei” is a two-color bowl of raw and boiled Sakhalin surf clams. The raw Sakhalin surf clams have a wonderful texture and sweetness, and the boiled Sakhalin surfread moreDecember itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Aomori Day 1 Meal edition)
