After a night eating at Hirome Ichica, we wanted to have a proper sitdown dinner to try ther other Kochi delicacies. Tsukasa Kochihonten is mentioned in various travel blogs as a good place to go, so we had our hotel help us make a reservation.
We went on a Monday night; there was some business but not full perhaps due to it being a weekday and us having dinner relatively late, but other customers were locals, which is always a good sign. They have an English menu, but I suggest to also look at the Japanese menu which has a lot more photos.
Dishes we enjoyed include the fish cake, grilled mackerel sushi, and especially the deep fried awa dori chicken, which the staff had kindly help us split the large piece of dark meat chicken for ease of sharing. We found the sashimi to be just alright, wasn’t strikingly fresh or special. The staff were very friendly and helpful, though did not speak much English.

We were shown to seats where we were asked to remove our shoes and seated at a comfortable table separated from those alongside by a netting curtain. Our waitress was Aya, incredibly charming and helpful, and the huge bonus was that her English was excellent. We started with the seared Bonito tuna (the local speciality) and it was very good, so much so that we ordered more, in other forms, as guided by Aya. The salads and squid was also very good. We were bothered by smokers alongside and Aya was kind enough to move us to another table. All in all my best Japanese dining experience thus far, and great value also.

The desert shop is upstairs. The stairs are traditional high stairs. The desert shop is small. They have several varieties. The desert tasted delicious. The staff were friendly. I will come again.

We had gyozas from Hiromedeyasube while we were at Hirome Ichiba. They definitely serve one of the best gyoza I’ve ever had! The skin is thin and crispy all around (as opposed to just the bottom being crispy, which is how most other places cook their gyoza). This place is clearly very popular even among locals, and the waiting time was almost 40mins. Don't let the waiting time deter you! We waited, eating other stuff in the meanwhile, and it was definitely well worth the wait.
The staff are very friendly. There is one young man working at the restaurant who spoke Mandarin and kindly recommended some of the other foods / stalls we should try in the market. They give you a number, and bring the gyoza to you when ready. Highly recommend!

帯屋町にある居酒屋さん。高知在住の方にすすめられ、夜に行きました。店先に赤ちょうちんがぶらさがり、気軽な店構え。夜8時過ぎでしたが、多くのお客さんでにぎわう人気店。2階に案内されました。座敷のテーブルが並んでいます。メニューはとても多いです。鰹の塩たたきは大きくきられ、塩かまも大ぶりでおいしかったです。いか団子が名物メニューです。

高知市と云うと、まことに失礼ながらそんなに高級料亭があるような雰囲気の都市だとは思っていなかった。しかし、ここへは同名のお店が東京にもあって、一度、現役時代に取引先の人に連れて行ってもらったこともあったので・・・まさか、高知市に本店があるとは思ってもいませんでした。店名もこの漢字で「いざりや」って読むんですよね。土佐料理のなんたるかは知らなかったが、ここはとにかく魚介類が美味しい。魚は個人的には臭いが残るので余り好きな食べ物ではない。健康上、自宅ではほぼ毎日強制的に家内に食べさせられてはいるが。今日は所用で当地に一泊で出て来たのだが、偶然、夕食場所が先方の予約でここへ来ることとなりました。ユニークな店名だったので・・・すぐに東京銀座のお店と同一店と解りました。予約がコース料理だったので一通り御馳走を味わさせて頂いたが、やはり魚、特にカツオは美味しかった。これで手や口に臭いが残らなかったら最高なんだが・・・。カウンターみたいな席だったけど・・・帰りに相手先が支払いしているのを横目で見て・・・びっくり。かなりいい値段してましたね。料理も一流だけど価格も一流でしたね。東京の店の時は確か・・・魚の臭いを中和させるのに効果があると云う食材も食べた記憶があるけど、今日はどうだったのか？意識してなかったから解らない。京都市内の料亭と比べるとそんなに高い方ではなかったが、京都が異常なだけなんでしょうね？価格見合いのお店と思われますが、自腹では進んでリピート出来る程度ではない、私のような年金生活者には・・・高い。

Nice Tsukemen (つけ麺) with rich and tasty fish based soup. A very popular noodle shop in town, so be prepared to queue up for at least 20 minutes at night.

If you like sushi or sashimi you would certainly enjoy the food in this place. They serve the local specialty but you have to prepare it yourself, bonito barbecued on an open fire. They help you to do it. The place is very basic, almost minimalistic, but the quality of the fish was fantastic. And the people are very friendly too. The place is not nice, next to the highway, near the port, but I would certainly return just for this experience.
