Asagohan — Restaurant in Kamakura

This is the best, Hidden Gem, in Kamakura.

They are only open for breakfast (that's what their restaurant name means - "Asagohan").

Really only locals come here. She opens at 06:30, and closes when the food runs out - usually by 08:30. If you are not seated by 08:30, likely you will be out of luck.

She only has 8 seats at a time.

No music. No TV. It's like being at home with your mother or wife, cooking you the best traditional Japanese breakfast you've ever had.

While sitting, you just hear the ASMR sounds of cooking, and the occasional talk to the customer - which really feels more like a family home.

This will be one of the most memorable experiences you ever have in Japan.

Initially worried we wouldn't get a chance, they couldn't all enter at once, and they left, elevating me to the second person in line.

Upon entering, we simply showed photos of the dishes we desired to the lady, who happened to be the owner and chef. We opted for the salmon set and the egg white bait set, and they were absolutely...
