Gouhara — Restaurant in Okayama

A Japanese restaurant in Okayama. It's run by a single person, so if you're prepared for a slightly slower pace, this is the best so far.

I also visited Sakaya Honten, but I didn't feel they had the skills, so I visited on the same day.

The owner was really busy while serving the food.

I ordered cream croquettes, mantis shrimp shumai, and chawanmushi with matsutake mushrooms, all of which were a little time-consuming, but I didn't have to wait long to get them.

First of all, the side dishes were delicious. I didn't know what the ingredients were in the yellow chives and matsutake mushrooms with stones in the salad. It started to get delicious.

The cream in the croquettes was carefully prepared and you could tell it was smooth. Even difficult ingredients like mantis shrimp were well-seasoned, and the matsutake mushroom chawanmushi had a good broth that went well with sake.

It's a little far from the station and in a completely residential area, but it's a restaurant I'd definitely like to visit again.

The owner said he wasn't sure how many more years he could keep it going, but I hope he keeps up the good work.

Thank you for the...

知り合いの方に連れられて訪問。落ち着いた雰囲気の店内で座敷に案内され、ランチの会席を頂いた。お野菜、タケノコ、刺身、焼き魚、ヒレ肉、どれも優しく上品な味付けで美味しく、特にヒレ肉は口に入れた途端にとろけて肉の旨味が口の中に...
