3月初旬、妻と二人で酒田に泊まった時に行きました。御造りと焼き魚（オヒョウ、烏賊）鮟鱇の肝と刺身、孟宗汁、握りずし、ビールと十四代の２合瓶を頂いて２人で一万千円位でした。鮟鱇は茨城や福島でも食べましたがほとんどが輸入もので、こんなに新鮮で刺身でいただけるものは初めてでした。瑞々しい身とアンキモをポン酢しょうゆでいただきましたが最高です。妻は次はいつ行くのかと催促しています。

Slip into Nostalgic Time and Place with a Glass of Sake This "izakaya" (Japanese bar) opened in 1961, and has been cherished by the locals ever since. Every night, it is a full of lively conversation with its owner, Toshie-san. Japanese bar favorites such

Kumura from the outside is almost unrecognisible as an izakaya, just the noren hanging over the door giving it away. But once inside it's your classic old style izakaya, like something out of a time warp from the 1960's. My wife and I have been three times and it's been full of locals on every occasion. The food and drink are good without being outstanding but where Kumura excels is its atmosphere and friendly people. Gaijin don't often come here and each time people have been keen to talk to me (in both English and Japanese). If you want the true izakaya experience Kumura is the place.

It is too expensive for the amount of food given to customers. I had a piece of bread with a very small amount of bacon on it and it was more expensive than it should be.

最近は年１ペースで３世代６人家族で訪問しています。（懲りずに３回目の投稿です。）クリスマス期間限定のロースカツ膳をいただきました。お肉は相変わらずのおいしさでした。ただ、今回ちょっと気になったのは「ごはん」です。過去２回の来店時にはそれほど気にならなかったのですが、１口食べると、パサパサした感じで、米粒をよく見ると長粒米っぽい。山形の「つや姫」を使用しているとのことですが、つや姫がそもそもこういう食感なのか、炊き方が悪いのかは判然としませんが、父、母、妻もそう感じていたようです。ですが、相変わらずのごはん、味噌汁、キャベツ、お新香おかわりサービスと、かわいいカレンダー頂きましたので、総合的には満足です。次行った時はごはんおいしいといいなぁ。

I tried their spring special, which I believe was shio flavor, and it was excellent. My husband tried their shoyu based one and loved it. It's a small restaurant in residential neighborhood. There is a small parking lot across the street. People working there were very kind. We would go back if we are in town again.

Sakata may have little to offer as a destination, but Koise makes up for all of that. This absolutely superb sushi shop is run by a master and crew who know exactly what to do with each fresh ingredient. The 3,500 yen Omakase nigiri course is a delight. Every single piece is from the freshest fish available in the port city, at a reasonable price. The master is a friendly fellow who is used to visitors from around the world. You will not regret yielding the choices to him in the Omakase course, having a tokkuri of sake, and enjoying the warm atmosphere.
