Noodle Restaurant “Henkotsu” うどんれすとらん へんこつ There are more than seventy seats including ones around an imitation irori (fireplace), in the shop. Black partitions and the shoji (paper screen)-like wall look familiar and pleasant. Besides old style dishes, the Henkotsu staff are proud of the variety of noodle dishes on their menu. They create some fantastic dishes using kimuchi (Korean pickles), oysters, and scallops. And there are also many dishes that supplement the noodles nicely. At lunch time some noodle dishes are served with seasoned rice. Those who have a sweet will be delighted with the traditional Japanese sweets served with the maccha (powdered green tea) on offer. .Recently we seldom find shops that serve this kind of dessert. The manager said, “Every year we add new dishes to the menu and the ones that do not please the customers are soon taken off the menu. We value our customers highly.” It seems that the stubborn spirit of Henkotsu is alive in this challenging attitude. (Henkotsu means a stubborn workman who does not compromise the high standards of his workmanship) We hope that they stick to this principle and create many more nice dishes for us. There are twenty-three Henkotsu shops through out northern Kanto area including three in Hitachi. |

| French- town (フレンチタウン) If you come here to find this restaurant imagining a typical western style building, you will go past it because the appearance is somewhat like “蔵”〔kura〕, the warehouse of a private house. Once you step into the restaurant, you will be relaxed by the wooden paneled interior, moderate lighting and jazz music playing in the background. Most dishes are the chef’s original creations based on French cuisine. There is a menu but the day’s specials are shown on blackboards. Examples of some of these are: fluffy om  elet
with tomato flavored beef, oyster and white radish cooked in a creamy
sauce, Pot-au-feu with sausages and smoked salmon etc.When you visit this restaurant with friends, we recommend you choose a range of different dishes. Then, those dishes are served with extra serving plates for each person. So by sharing, you can enjoy a real variety of different dishes. Such thoughtfulness gives this restaurant a good reputation for customer service. On the first floor, there are 8 tables and a counter where 6 people can sit. For a larger group of people, there are Japanese style rooms available on the second floor. There are only 3 kinds of dessert listed on the menu, but they are all worth trying. And there is a large selection of beverages. We are sure you will enjoy the chef’s original culinary creations which are prepared using a different combination of vegetables, meat and seafood. The average price of a dish from the “a-la-carte” menu is \900. |
