ココガーデン大江ノ郷自然牧場
“Cocogarden Oenosato Natural Farm”
You can enjoy special pancakes here. This farm began as a cage-free poultry farm and which sell an egg for about 100 yen. It use only consciously selected feed and sell only picked on that morning, so the price make sense… This special egg can make fluffy meringue and make pancake fluffy without any food additive like baking powder. However it keeps its shape in only 10 min so enjoy as soon as you served, it is really photogenic though…

たくみ割烹
“Takumi Kappou”
The word “Kappou” means Japanese-style restaurant and sounds a little old-fashioned. This place opened in 1932 as a select shop of beautiful Japanese traditional daily use items like chair, table, plates, cups so on which is designed and produced by Shoya Yoshida who is main Mingei movement activist in Tottori. I’m sure you can enjoy and experience not only food but also totally coordinated Japanese style meal with selected silverware, plates, furniture so on. This restaurant is famous for curry&rice and “shabu-shabu” which is a style of eating sliced meat and veges with hot pot also produced by Mr. Yoshida. They picked up meat with chopsticks and boil it in a hot pot for a moment.

ちむら とうふちくわの里
“Chimura Tofu-chikuwa-no-sato”
Tofu-chikuwa is a hybrid food made with tofu and chikuwa: tube-shaped fish paste cake. This local traditional food was created in Edo period. In that time fish was sometimes really precious because fishing way was limited and a feudal lord told chikuwa makers to create chikuwa with less fish so that people keep enjoying chikuwa. (How popular chikuwa was! anyway…) Now, there are so many flavored tofu-chikuwa in the store and tofu-chikuwa has taken over stomach around Tottori and become a representative local food.

“Su-ramen” is another local dish in Tottori. It looks like a ramen but combination of Chinese noodle and udon-soup is really unique and topping is very simple. This ramen was created by this ramen restaurant more than 50 years ago so that poor students can eat a lot. Now it become popular and called “soul food of Tottori“

更科
“Sarashina”
You must order “Saba-don” in this Japanese-style bar. I highly recommend it. You have to take a walk for 15 min from the station but that’s worth it.

焼鳥よし田
“Yakitori Yoshita”
I think this is the best yakitori-bar in Tottori east area. They cautiously and slowly bake so many kinds of yakitori. Every yakitori is delicious and I can’t help but order another grass of beer… I like the atmosphere in this bar as well especially the counter.

大江ノ郷自然牧場 HANARE
“Oenosato Natural Farm HANARE”
This is a satellite shop and cafe of Oenosato Natural Farm in Yazu. This farm began as a cage-free poultry farm and which sell an egg for about 100 yen. It use only consciously selected feed and sell only picked on that morning, so the price make sense. I recommend “”tamagokake-gohan”” which was popular Japanese countryside style breakfast. Just put a low egg on top of white rice in a bowl and mix it well by chopstick. It might sound like weird or sometimes too wild, however I would say this style is the best way to enjoy fresh egg taste and flavor. I hope you break out of YOUR shell as well and experience this unique meal.

らーめん ホットエアー
“Ramen Hot Air”
This ramen restaurant is on Michelin guide book (2019 Tottori ver.) so its quality is certified. What makes this place unique is that the restaurant is in a local used car dealer office and the owner started his cooking as his hobby. His passion and enthusiasm for tastes of dishes is admirable. This is in the Hamamura-onsen area where some renovated cafes and stores have opened recently. I would recommend you to take a walk along the street and try onsen: hot spring and step into some local stores.

回転すし北海道湖山店
“KaitenSushi Hokkaido Koyamaten”
“Hokkaido” is a local chain Conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Tottori. The name “Hokkaido” sounds weird because it’s totally different place so the name is mystery for Japanese people as well. Anyway, you will get surprised by tasty sushi and reasonable price.

あじろカフェなだばた
“Ajiro cafe Nadabata”
“Nadabata” means “near from the ocean”. This cafe is in “”Ajiro fishing harbor”” and Ajiro means a method of fishing using a net. So this cafe is named after traditional fishing style in the area and the location close to ocean. As you can guess from the mean of the name, you can enjoy fresh delicious sea foods at surprisingly reasonable price. You might get to want to live near ocean… with easy access to such a nice restaurants.

焼き鳥たるや
“Yakitori Taruya”
The selection of jizake: The local Japanese rice wine is just awesome. Sauce on yakitori: chicken skewers is very tasty and matches with taste of sake. The sauce is a little sweet so I personally like to drink Karakuchi-taste: clear-taste sake here.
