September itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Iwate Day 2 Meal edition)
September itinerary in Japan Day 4 (Iwate Day 2 Meal edition) (Wednesday, September 29) Table of contents Breakfast Lunch Craft beer Dinner Breakfast At “Michi-no-Eki Takatamatsubara” in the Takatamatsubara Memorial Park, there are two restaurants, “Matsubara Shokudo” and “Takata no Gohan”. “Takata no Gohan” was closed, so I had a late breakfast at “Matsubara Shokudo”. I ordered “Kaisendon set”. The “Kaisendon set” includes a seafood bowl made from fish and shellfish caught in the sea near Rikuzentakata, centered on Hirota Bay, and “stem wakame” pickled in wasabi and “mekabu soba” caught in Hirota Bay. https://takata-matsubara.com/ Even if it wasn’t delicious enough to impress, it was delicious enough for the “Kaisendon set” offered at the roadside station. This shop is recommended when you go to Takata Matsubara Memorial Park. However, if you have time, you should eat at restaurants around Rikuzentakata Station. https://edokagura.com/en/local-cuisine/455/ Lunch What I absolutely wanted to eat in Rikuzentakata was the “Rikuzentakata Ezoishikagekai (Clinocardium california)“, which is the summer “pride fish” of Iwate Prefecture selected by Japan Fisheries Cooperatives. When asked at the Rikuzentakata City Tourism and Products Association next to Rikuzentakata Station, it was said that “Sushi Matsuda” was serving “Ezoishikagekai”. https://takanavi.org/gourmet/12168 “Sushi Matsuda”
