The specialty of Torinago Kyubei in Fukuchiyama City is Kamo-suki, a dish ordered by almost all customers. It is a simple nabe dish of duck meat, served with plenty of shiraga-negi (Japanese leeks) and a beautifully arranged plate of duck meat, which is quickly dipped into the broth and enjoyed. You can choose from ramen, udon, homemade soba, or zosui (rice porridge) for the end of the meal, so you can savor the broth full of flavor to the last. The building, a registered tangible cultural property, is also a must-see.

Yururi Introspection

This is an old private house restaurant with a kayabuki roof that has a strong presence in Miyama-cho, located in the northern part of Nantan City. The restaurant's name, "Yururi," means "Irori" in the local dialect. The restaurant offers dishes that make the most of the rich local ingredients, such as wild vegetables in spring, sweetfish in summer, mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms in fall, and gibier in winter. During the cold season, the restaurant serves a simple salted hot pot with only salt added to the broth made from Takumikyo Jidori chicken raised in Miyama. The restaurant also offers venison and botan-nabe courses on request throughout the year. The inn also operates a guest house, and only one couple per day can stay at the inn.
