Kappo Suitenkaku" - Ajigasawa's best taste.

Appearance of the store
Ajigasawa is a town along the coastline and has a thriving fishing industry. Ajigasawa is especially famous for flatfish, and many restaurants in the town offer dishes using flatfish.

Kappo Suitenkaku" offers not only flatfish, but also other fresh seafood caught in the sea in front of you.
Ajigasawa Flounder Zuke Donburi
The most recommended dish is "Ajigasawa Flounder Zuke-don", which is a local specialty of Ajigasawa. It is a bowl of rice topped with flatfish marinated in a special sauce, and is so famous that Ajigasawa has its own character for it. Kappo Suitengaku's "Ajigasawa Flounder Zuke-don" is a bowl of rice topped with not only the zuke, which is seasoned with the best taste of the ingredients, but also the engawa, the top of which is topped with two different parts, making it a very satisfying dish. Ajigasawa Flounder Zuke-don" is available at many restaurants in the town, and you should try it when you visit the town.
The restaurant also offers a variety of other dishes such as Kaisendon, Sashimi Set Meal, Tempura Set Meal, and many more to fully enjoy the seafood of Ajigasawa. The Kaisen-don menu changes depending on the type of fish caught that day, so you can enjoy the freshest seasonal fish no matter when you come to the restaurant.

Local confectionery shop, "Meisaki no Ten Yamazaki" (famous confectionery store)

Appearance of the store
Next, we would like to introduce a confectionery shop in Ajigasawa Town, "Meika no Ten Yamazaki".
It is located about a 5-minute walk from "Kappo Suitenkaku" introduced earlier.
It is a small store, but once inside, you will find a lot of sweets! There are Japanese sweets, Western sweets, and even a sable shaped like Wasao's face.

Among the many sweets, there is a "Cake de Daifuku," which is a cake or a piece of Daifuku? Daifuku? Is it a Japanese confectionery? Is it a Western-style confectionery? I was very curious about this product.
Cake de Daifuku
It looks like Daifuku itself, but when you try it, you will find that it contains sponge and cream, so it is like a "cake wrapped in Daifuku". It is exactly as the name suggests! You can feel the softness when you lift it.
There are many varieties, such as tiramisu and strawberry & fresh caramel, and some are made with seasonal fruits, so you can enjoy different flavors depending on the time of year you visit.
