Kaifukumaru — Restaurant in Ito

今日ここで遅い昼食をとりました。午後2時に着いて3時に店を出ました。到着して店の横の駐車場にバイクをとめていると、裏口から店の男性が出てきて、私がひとりか連れがいるか尋ねました。ひとりだと答えると、バイクを既にとまっていた車の横に寄せるように（車一台分のスペースを空けておくように）言いました。妥当なリクエストだったのでその通りにバイクをとめました。

ランチはとても美味しく、女性店員たちの応対もとてもよかったのですが…店を出てバイクに乗る準備をしていたとき、同じ店の男性が再び裏口から出てきました。バイクをおいたまま道の反対側に歩いて渡り、海の写真を撮りたいと思い、その男性に5分だけバイクをおかせてもらってもいいか、丁寧に聞きました。時間は3時を過ぎていて、私のバイクは駐車中の車の横に寄せてあるため、車2台分のスペースがまるまる空いており、私が入店した２時以降、新しい客は入っていませんでした。しかしながら、その男性は侮辱的な態度で、「ダメです」。最初は私が外国人だからなのかと思いましたが、ほかのレビューを読むと、この男性の態度が一貫していることが分かりました。失礼な態度をされたのは自分だけじゃなく、日本人のお客さんにも同じだったのはよかったですが、伊東に次回行くときはこの店には行きません。

I dined here today for a late lunch, arrived at 2PM, left at 3PM. When I arrived and was parking my motorcycle in the lot on the side of the restaurant, the chef emerged from the side door to ask if I was dining alone, which I confirmed, and then he asked that I move my motorcycle to share with another car so that I leave the space open. That was reasonable, so I followed his request. The lunch special was very good and the service from the ladies inside was great. However, when I left and was preparing to get back on my motorcycle, the chef again emerged from the side door. I thought, it would be nice to quickly walk across the street and take a photo of the water. I asked him “excuse me, could I go across for 5 minutes to take a photo”? At the time, there were 2 whole open parking spots as my motorcylce was still sharing the space with the parked car and it was after 3PM. No new customers came into the restaurant from 2PM when I entered. However, he told me very rudely “no, you cannot”. I could not believe it. At first, I thought that this attitude was because I am a foreigner. However, reading the other reviews about the attitude from this same person, I am relieved that it is not just me, but this person has a bad attitude towards Japanese people as well. I will never dine here again when passing through Ito...

Passing by several times and when we wanted to eat there it was always closed. Finally we managed to crack the opening times: lunch 11.30-14.00 and dinner 17.00-19.30. Lunch special is a set of different things. Today it was a bowl of rice, sashimi (w king mackerel) and 2 pieces of deep fried fish and miso soup. Very tasty and filling. Recommend, recommend!

P.S only...

伊東市の「磯料理 開福丸」は、網元直営の新鮮な地魚料理が楽しめるお店です。特に「鯵のたたき」は脂がのっており、絶品と評判です。また、揚げ物や金目鯛の煮付けなど、多彩なメニューも魅力的です。店内は和風の落ち着いた雰囲気で、2階の座敷からはオレンジビーチや伊東港、遠くに初島を一望できます。伊東駅から徒歩約10分、オレンジビーチの目の前に位置し、アクセスも良好です。新鮮な魚介を堪能したい方におすすめのお店です。
