Shibata City
The cafe restaurant 'Komegura Cocoro' in Shimizuen is a renovated space from a 150-year-old storehouse that was actually used to store rice. The owner who used to run a restaurant in front of Shibata Station recommends 'Stone Pot Oyster Bibimbap' (1,200 yen including tax), which has been a popular menu since then. There are large oysters from Hiroshima and Ako in Hyogo and the rich flavor goes well with salty-sweet sauce. The 'Wheat gluten cutlet rice bowl' (1,020 yen including tax) that uses the familiar 'Kuruma-fu (Round shape dried wheat gluten)'' in Shibata is a new type of Tonkatsu that is fried crisply with pork wrapped around wheat gluten. The outside is crispy, the inside is soft and juicy, and the curry-flavored sauce makes it easy to eat. There are plenty of craft beer and wine from Niigata, and the alcohol you drink in the storehouse has a special taste.
