Osanai — Restaurant in Aomori

I wish I could have visited more often and tried more dishes, but there’s always a line for this restaurant and they have very short hours…

I only dined here once and I ordered the hotate curry and the apple dumplings.

Curry was good, the portion was really big I don’t think it’s meant for one person lol.
