This Sanukiya (さぬきや) was founded 1964. The shopkeeper is the second generation. In Sanukiya , you can have delicious Udon and fresh fish in the season, delicious Yonezawa beef, and seasonal sake that is compatible with each dish. What’s more they have various kinds of sake. There are also sake which are difficult to find in other stores, so if you like sake, I would recommend this restaurant. And Japanese people often eat Ramen often after drinking, but at this restaurant, I recommend eating Udon at the end.

It is a new curry restaurant, opened in November 2017, but it is already so popular and famouse. The restaurant was introduced on television. It is curry made with plenty of spices. Also, as you can see from the photo, various vegetables are topped, you can enjoy not only the spice’s smell but also the texture. Since this restaurant is still popular, I recommend going before opening the restaurant if you want to try the curry.
