Nanamagari Japanese Restaurant

Nanamagari serves a range of classic Japanese dishes, including seafood. However, the real specialty here is shamo, a wildfowl local to the northern Ibaraki area.
The "shamo suki" hotpot is a great way to try this wildfowl. This hearty dish features shamo meat simmered alongside green onions and konnyaku (devil's tongue).

Tonkatsu Ton

Tonkatsu Ton specializes in deep-fried pork cutlets. Most ingredients are locally sourced, including rice and vegetables grown in Ibaraki.
In addition to pork cutlets, the restaurant offers a range of sake and wine. Food is served on Kasamaware, traditional pottery produced in Ibaraki's Kasama City.
Tonkatsu Ton is wheelchair accessible and provides menus in Braille and sign language.
