Shiraoi Grandma — Restaurant in Shiraoi

Don’t miss this gem in Shiraoi! Good food, friendly staffs and comfy environment :D They accept credit cards here, the owner speaks English so there’s no issue at all to dine in as a foreigner. We came here 2 days in a row cause the food is just SO GOOD! Every Thursday and Saturday they have Japanese buffet, it’s only 1400 yen and you can try all types of stuff.

You get a chance to taste home-made dishes here:) They use local fresh ingredients, super super fresh one. We got to taste SUPER FRESH salmon (it tastes so sweet! It was caught 4 days before) They have the best curry rice I’ve ever had. They sell bun in the shop and the texture is interesting, is also a must try!

The concept of the restaurant is also interesting, there’re so many grandma in the shop ;) Will definitely come back again next time. They have a parking lot in front of the restaurant (across from the street).

P.s coffee and honey black tea are also good! Six stars for...

My girl was playing with the owner's son who was babysit on that day. Highly recommend for anyone to make a stop before heading to hell valley and visit to the nearby ainu museum. I am inspired, and keep up the...

The food was delicous and they even helped me by making a dish vegetarian since they dont usually serve vegetarian dishes every day. You actually get served by elderly Japanese women, they also had a younger man helping them who spoke good english and could translate, so even if you dont speak Japanese they are able to help you with any questions! In the store they also sell different goods like tea and jewelery made by local artists and handymans. Would defenitly recommend coming here for...
