Kappo Restaurant [Jingu-michi Jingu] in Okazaki, where a la carte dishes are also very attractive.

June 2, 2024 open

Along Jingu-michi Avenue, where the streets are less crowded at night and the atmosphere is calm. Located on the second floor of an old private house, Jingu-michi Jin is a kappo-ryori restaurant with a stylish atmosphere, featuring an ajiro ceiling and a white-wood counter with a sunken kotatsu-style table.

The owner, Mr. Kusumeki Hitoshi, says he chose this restaurant because he liked the surrounding environment and the hideaway atmosphere. I use seasonal ingredients and try to make the most of the flavors of the ingredients in my menus. I try to make sure that my regular customers like the taste of the food," says Kusubonegi, whose friendly personality is very impressive.

Kagoshima Ichibo 2,000 yen (photo for two). The Kagoshima black wagyu beef, which is said to have good quality fat that is not too greasy, is purchased directly from the place of production. The beef is directly roasted over a charcoal fire, giving it a rich flavor.

In addition to the 15,000 yen and 20,000 yen courses, the menu also includes a la carte dishes. Among them are beef dishes such as steak and beef cutlet, and suppon ramen noodles, which are rare for a kappo restaurant. How about having a chic time at the counter, which is comfortable even if you visit alone, while enjoying a drink?

Yellowtail daikon (radish), made with sweet Yodo daikon and wild yellowtail from Himi, Toyama Prefecture, carefully cooked separately using light soy sauce, is priced at 1,500 yen. The yellowtail is thick and has just the right amount of fat for an elegant taste.

Suppon Ramen: 1,800 yen. The soup made from suppon (soft-shelled turtle) is full of nutrients and warms the body, making it perfect for winter. Chicken broth is also added to deepen the flavor.

The owner of this restaurant is Mr. Kusubame Kihito. ［He worked for over 20 years as a Japanese cuisine chef, including 17 years at Gion's kappo restaurants such as Gijon Ima, before setting up his own restaurant.
