Akita local fish, large kamado rice Isabaya. 5. Akita sour   1. Kanbun Gonendo Akita store The meal on the 4th day (final day) of the Aomori / Akita trip was from “Inaniwa udon”. Inaniwa udon is one of the “three major udon noodles in Japan” along with “Sanuki udon” from Kagawa and “Mizusawa udon” from Gunma. In addition, instead of Gunma’s “Mizusawa Udon”, Nagasaki Prefecture’s “Goto Udon” is sometimes referred to as “three major udon noodles in Japan”. “Kanbun Gonendo” is a udon shop that offers raw noodles of “Inaniwa udon”, which is one of the few udon shop in Akita prefecture. It has also been selected as one of the 100 Tabelog restaurants. Of course I knew “Inaniwa udon” and had eaten it. “Inaniwa udon” with a smooth texture is my favorite. However, I didn’t know that “Inaniwa udon” is almost exclusively dried noodles. The reason why it is almost exclusively dried noodles is that it is difficult to spread because it has been eaten asread moreDecember itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Akita Day 4 Meal edition)

December Itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Aomori / Akita Meal edition) (Monday, December 13th)   Table of contents 1. Nakamiso 2. BRICK A-FACTORY 3. Craft beer 4. Toppin Pararinopu 5. Akita Kiritanpoya   1. Nakamiso While visiting sightseeing spots, I had miso ramen at “Nakamiso” in the basement of the Nakasan Hirosaki store. The unusual store name “Nakamiso” was changed to “Nakamiso” because it was “Miso Ramen” that was born in the basement of “Nakasan Department Store”. “Nakamiso” was originally called “China Doll”. It’s interesting to change the store name to a completely different name. The reason I went to “Nakamiso” was because I found an online article saying that “Nakamiso” is a favorite local dish of Hirosaki citizens. Certainly, when I went to “Nakamiso” in the basement of the Nakasan Hirosaki store, it was crowded with many customers even after 11 o’clock. When observing the orders of local customers, there were several people who asked for two small sizes of ramen with two flavors. Also, when I looked it up after the trip, it seems that “Nakamiso won the first place in the” 1st Hirosaki Ramen Project “held from December 2020 to February 2021.” Furthermore, in May 2021, itread moreDecember itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Aomori / Akita Meal edition)

Even so, I decided to visit as many sightseeing spots as possible, so I went to the “Saishoin Five-storied Pagoda” near my hotel. The “Saishōin Five-storied Pagoda” was completed in 1667. It is said that it was built as a memorial service for enemies and allies who died in the process of unifying Tsugaru by clan ancestor, Tamenobu Tsugaru in Hirosaki Domain (Tsugaru Domain) . As a five-storied pagoda, it is a national important cultural property of the northernmost in Japan. It is said to be the most beautiful tower in the Tohoku region. It was very beautiful with snow. The precincts were also quiet and had a solemn atmosphere in the snow.   2.
