Notoya Ryokan - NINJA KOTAN

Summary of January itinerary in Japan (Yamagata trip) I traveled to Yamagata prefecture (Tohoku region) from January 25th (Tuesday) to January 28th (Friday). On this trip, I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and I was able to visit wonderful tourist destinations such as the national treasure and national important cultural properties. Although it was a trip within the same prefecture, Yamagata Prefecture had different cultures and food cultures depending on the region, so it was a very satisfying trip. This is the January itinerary in Japan that I highly recommend to everyone. In addition, I will report a summary of this trip and some notes.

January Itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Yamagata Meal edition) (Wednesday, January 26) Table of contents 1. Notoya Ryokan 2. Issaan Branch 3. Izakaya Seigo 1. Notoya Ryokan I had breakfast at the restaurant of Notoya Ryokan. I have always loved breakfast at hot spring inns. Breakfast at a hot spring inn has many side dishes, and I feel always happy. There were many types of breakfast at Notoya Ryokan, and I was very satisfied. 2. Issaan Branch I took the shuttle bus from Notoya Ryokan to Oishida Station from Ginzan Onsen. After that, I went to Shinjo station by local train from Oishida station. At Shinjo station, there was a waiting time of more than an hour for Tsuruoka. Therefore, I went to “Issaan Branch”, which is a little over 10 minutes walk from Shinjo Station, for lunch. “Issaan Branch” is said to be the birthplace of Shinjo City’s famous “Torimotsu (chicken offal) Ramen”. There is also “Issaan Main Store” near Shinjo Station, but the main store mainly sells Japanese soba noodles and does not offer “Torimotsu Ramen”. You need to be careful not to make a mistake. I don’t know why the branch, not the mainread moreJanuary itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Yamagata Meal edition)

FURUSAWA SAKE BREWERY Sawa Masamune After sightseeing in Yamagata city, I had a light meal of Yamagata prefecture’s local cuisine and local sake at “FURUSAWA SAKE BREWERY Sawa Masamune” in the Yamagata Station Building “S-PAL Yamagata”. Yamagata Prefecture is a prefecture that boasts of gastronomy and delicious sake, which is called “Yamagata, the best gastronomic and best sake prefecture in Japan.” There is even a homepage called “Oishii (Delicious) Yamagata“. I also think that Yamagata Prefecture’s food and sake are very delicious. The names of the airports in Yamagata Prefecture are “Oishii (Delicious) Yamagata Airport” and “Oishii (Delicious) Shonai Airport”, and both airports are appealing to Gourmand Prefecture. In addition, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture is the only city in Japan that has been certified as a “UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy“. However, I don’t think Yamagata Prefecture is very well known nationwide as a prefecture for gastronomy and best sake. I did some research on the national evaluation.
