Udon restauratn ‘Nagomi-An’ in Kurayoshi, Tottori

Let’s enjoy a variety of Udong in Nagomi-An(和庵)

Nagomi-An is behind the Kurayoshi station.

If you go to 179 national highway for about 10 minutes from

Kurayoshi St

.

, you can find this restaurant.

They are open until 9:30.

Usually, Japanese restaurant is not big, but here Nagomi-An is quite big.

The service was great.

That restaurant has distinctive dishes on its menu.

There are many Udon including general Udon and Bu-Kake that put some sauce(Tu-Yu in Japanese) on Udon.

There are set menu that consists of half Udon and a bowl of rice topped of mini size.

The price is reasonable.

You can add topping what you want.

Beef Udon, Oyako Udon(put the chicken and eggs on Udon), Pot Udon etc..

It looks very delicious, it took a log time what to order.

I ordered fired crab meat Udon that is special menu in Nagomi-An.

Yummy!!

It was real crab meat! Wow~

The soup of Udon was very good!

It was my first time at this restaurant, very nice!

The noodle has a chewy texture.

The soup and noodle are perfect!

And my friend ordered No.1 menu, fried shirpm and rice cake Bu-Kake,.

I have never eaten Bu-Kake, so really excited.

My friend likes mushroom but that was not No.1.

So she just ordered fried rice cake Bu-Kake. :)

That was also looks very delicious.

There are put fried rice cake, shoot of white radish, some weed, blended white radish and ginger on Udon.

Serve the sauce(Tu-Yu) on Undo separately.

You can choose cold Bu-kake or hot Bu-kake when you order.

It was cold, so she ordered hot thing.

Lightly mix Undo~

The noodle is thicker than chopsticks.

And it has the best flavor and texture!!

But it hurt to sallow because there is nothing soup.

My friend wanted to eat another thing next time.

We were really satisfied with this restaurant, made point card even!! :)

Let’s go to Yodo-ya(淀屋) that is a business magnate in Akagawara, Kurayoshi!

The place that is worth a visit in Akagawara!

You can feel of Yodo-ya that was very popular a business magnate in Japan.

*Yodo-ya(淀屋) is a business magnate that was enjoing prosperity as one of the most popular place in Oksaka, E-do Dynasty.

Yodo-ya set up rice market that was standard on all the Japanese rice market value.

Also, it is contributing to the growth of the commercial town that Osaka was called ‘the kitchen of天下(Tenn-ka : under the sky )’.

It seems like Japan checked Yodo-ya that was getting bigger.

Japan pressed Yodo-ya, finally Yodo-ya collapsed.

However, Yodo-ya opened up a new era, ‘Yodo-ya Period’, on the quiet in Akagawara, Kurayoshi city, Tottori.

Now, it is 1700’s building that repaired in places.

You can find if you turn the left at Izumo-taisya(a detached building), Kurayoshi..

It is easy for you if you refer to Akagawara guide map.





Wonderful~!

It is free and you can take a picture inside.

You can write your feeling in the visitors’ book.

When they repaired the building, they made a difference between old and new thing on purpose.

A deep wood color is preserved part and a light wood color is repaired part.

Take off shoes then a guide will explain about Yodo-ya for you.

It is quite large Tidami room.

You can see the elaborate decoration that feel the life of a business magnate inside.

Someone who likes here Yodo-ya made a drawing and then donated here Yodo-ya.

That is about 牧田 family of the latter part of the Yodo-ya.

Open the door, very big room!

There are stairs in a corner.

I went up the steps.

Some part of building remains when they repaired the building.

It looks like the joint.

I think wooden building’s joint is wonderful.

How great!

The back yard that stuck up stuff is well preserved.

There are a well but closed it.

They don’t use it anymore.

I have seen lots of Japanese traditional building but I have never seen like these heights.

It is free and there are guides for explanation.

If you visit Kuryoashi, try it! :)

Level B Gourmet event was held. [in Tottori Kurayoshi]

Level B Gourmet in Kurayoshi

Level B Gourmet event was canceled by a typhoon the last time.

So small level B gourmet event was held in the top of Purple town shopping mall.

Sunny day, fresh air!

There were many local people.

You can enjoy quite reasonable level B gourmet foods.

There were people who were waiting in line to eat foods from opening time, 10a.m.

These are the menu this event.

The menu is made up fresh ingredients of Tottori.

Local foods gathered together!

The first thing I ate, Koi-meshi.

Koi-meshi is steamed rice by carp and some vegetables.

Actually I have eaten Koi-mishe.

It was very delicious, I like it! :)

And the soup is Shizimi-Shiru(corbicula Miso soup).

That is a specialty of Togo lake, Tottori.

Koi-meshi is not smelly and very light.

Ingredients are good for your health as well!

Tottori Gyu-kotsu Ramen was still popular that day.

Nice Gyu-kotsu Ramen~!!

More and more people are coming for lunch.

Crowd!

Kotoura village, Tottori, took par in the event also.

Ago-katsu Curry!

Ago means flying fish, it is another name of ‘Tobi-uo’ in Japanese.

Ago-katsu curry is food that put the fried flying fish on a curry.

Posters are impressive!

Curry shop, Noda Curry, is famous for an omelet curry.

Omelet curry was sold out very quickly.

There was some foods that I didn’t look at the menu.

The name, sea robber burger of Kotoura village, attended the event this time.

Kotoura village Kaizoku burger (sea robber burger)

Kaba-boko(fish cake that made by white squid and broccoli), ham-katsu(fryied ham), egg, cabbage, tomato, onion, special sauce

The burger was very delicious that I expected!

It was sold by set menu with milk that made in Mt.Daisen.

The price is 500yen.

It is not cheap but it really fills the bill.

That is water that made in Kurayoshi.

It is Kurayoshi Mizu(water).

Fresh water of Kurayoshi is becoming commoditized.

The best menu was Chicken Katsu(cutlet) that day.

Many people waited in line before starting.

But it was sold out quickly, the cutlet was added.

Chicken cutlet was 150yen even!

That was good chance to get!

That’s way it was sold out quickly.

It was very delicious!

Chicken cutlet is very large size!

Look at these picture!

I want to taste it one more time.

I’m looking forward to next Level B Gourmet!!
