Agura: Izakaya-style Restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Being an Izakaya-style restaurant they serve more than just Japanese food. It's a great place to go if you've got people who feel like different things.

    They have an English menu and the staff will do their best to communicate with you.

    Agura also plays some great Jazz CDs and it's a warm and cozy atmosphere.

    Suzuya Japanese Restaurant: Hida Beef here is the best!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Suzuya in Takayama is not to be confused with the Suzuya in Kyoto which serves mainly great desserts.

    In Takayama, most restaurants are only open for dinner. Unless you want to have ramen or soba for lunch, it's difficult to find a good eating place.

    We were lucky to find Suzuya hidden in 1 of the streets near Rickshaw Inn. It is here that we experienced the best Hida beef and famed Sukiyaki.

    Mikado Restaurant: Mountain food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The nights in Takayama are cold even in early autumn. Thus, food here is hearty and wholesome. We ordered this set that consists of rice, fish, small mountain potatoes, hida beef and the unique bean paste heated on a leaf placed on a little clay urn.

    Very yummy food!

    Small mountain potatoes are great as snacks too. You just can't stop popping them into your mouth :-)

    Ebisu: Slurping on soba (noodles)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Ebisu is located in a very old and charming building. This little restaurant can only fit less than 20 people. Low tables are set on a platform and you need to remove your shoes to get onto the platform and sit Japanese style (with knees tucked beneath you) on the table. There are no chairs unless you want to have your meal on the bar top facing the kitchen.

    This is where the locals eat as there is no English menu and all we had to do was to point out to pictures and what other patrons are eating to order :-)

    Don't expect frills here. It's all eat and go.

    For a set of soba with tempura, soup and condiments, it costs US$12.77. It's a hearty meal, perfect for the cool weather outside.

    Suzuya: Drink your beer in a beaker
  • Tip Rating:
  • In restaurant Suzuya (see previous tip) they sell this local beer. It served in a beaker instead of a glass. It is expensive (700 Yen = ca. 7 $), but it tastes great!

    Korikori beer is brewed in Hida Takayama by the Ji Beer Hida company.

    SUZUYA: local specialities
  • Tip Rating:
  • SUZUYA is a traditional japanese restaurant. They serve dishes that are special to this area. Hida beef ( beef with fat like vains through it) is used in many dishes.

    Suki Yaki

    Suzuya: shabu shabu
  • Tip Rating:
  • Our second visit to this restaurant we tried shabu shabu. It is a big pot of boiling water. You put vegetables and meat in this boiling water at your table. Just stir a little, take it out and eat it.
    It looks great on the table, but we didnt found the taste that interesting.....

    Center4: Cheeseburgers in Takayama!
  • Satisfaction:
  • After touring many cities in Japan with a big group, I was starving for a taste of home. I picked up a brochure in my hotel for "Center4 Hamburgers." After finding it, I went through a small hallway lined with antiques and emerged into a little hole-in-the-wall place playing country/western music! American farm antiques hung on the walls. It was being run by a young Japanese couple (I don't know if they owned it.) I promised myself I'd tell everyone I could about this place.

    The menu was from heaven! I got the best cheeseburger and the most perfect plate of onion rings and a tall coke! Oh my God! I was in heaven after a week of sushi and miso!

    Their menu even included fries, salsa, and Corona beer!

  • Directions: Just two blocks up from one of the main bridges (I think the Yoyoi-bashi bridge) in the main shopping district, it was right next to a post office. Look for their brochure or ask directions. It's worth it!
