Since I was running on R157 early in the morning, I was hungry, so I decided to jump in for a morning meal. Too bad!? ️It was a regular holiday (cry) I'll see you next time.2024-6-20The store on the way back from Toritateyama was open! It was around noon, so there were a lot of customers! The student requested a mixed fry set meal. It was a very warm and delicious set meal. 2 shrimp, squid links, 2 eggs, white fish, vegetables, tofu, miso soup, and rice! Please be careful as the shop is full of slippers ♪

This is the last restaurant on National Route 157 heading from Fukui Prefecture to Ishikawa Prefecture (until Shiramine is a mountain desert with no oasis lol).It has the feel of an old-fashioned pension, with a very nice atmosphere, and if you go during the spring cherry blossom viewing season, you can enjoy lunch while looking at the cherry blossoms on the premises.This time, the omelet rice (demi-glace sauce, large serving) is 1030 yen.The omelet rice had a very nostalgic feel to it, and although it wasn't seasoned with current trends, it was filling and delicious.You can also take out omelet rice and set meals, and we also serve lunch until about 4pm.If you miss having lunch in Katsuyama, you should definitely try this restaurant.

Since I was going to Ski Jam Katsuyama, I called the day before and was able to stay overnight.Thank you for accommodating me even though I made a reservation the day before.The location is very good, about 10 minutes from the ski jam and 10 minutes from the city center.Best of all, the rice was delicious.The fish, meat, and course dishes were hearty, and the recipes were ingenious.For breakfast, I ate a delicious butter roll that looked like it was freshly baked (or maybe it was freshly baked) and made myself a sandwich.Everything was delicious and I was satisfied with everything.Thank you for your wonderful time.It was a good memory.

I stopped by for dinner on the way back from climbing Mt. Hakusan. It was okay. If you hear the sound of the microwave cooking, it's a sign that it's about to be delivered.
