THE LATEST DISH ON FOOD & DRINK IN THE BIG CITY Dining Out local flavors KANAGAWA COMESTIBLES Noshing around southern Kanto By Larry Knipfing, Todd Wojnowski and Tomoko Kamishima Don’t forget to fuel up when you’re off checking out some of Kanagawa’s sights [see p6]. Here is a small taste of some of the prefecture’s eateries as chosen by our Japan Tourist contributors. Visit this story online to add your own favorites in the comment section http://meturl.com/kanagawaeats Kamakura SUSHI-DOKORO KIMI Just in front of the east exit at JR Kamakura, this restaurant will provide you with your dose of fresh fish before or after your local sightseeing. Not a revolving kaiten joint, Kimi costs a little extra—but it’s worth it for the quality. Ask the chef for his recommendation, or order up sets such as the 6-10 piece nigiri set (¥2,100-3,680) to make things simple. 1-4-1 Komachi, Kamakura-shi, Kanagawa; www. miyokawa.co.jp/kimi.html. JapanTourist entry: http://meturl.com/kimisushi BRUNCH KITCHEN KAMAKURA This is a spiffy little place just off Komachi-dori. An off-shoot of the trendy Mercer Café chain, its interior and staff are chic—and so are their brunches. They’ve added some nice touches such as seating around an open fire in the courtyard, outdoor patio tables for when the weather is good, high ceilings with fans and big windows. For brunch, try their French toast—it will melt in your mouth—to complement a choice of delightful main dishes including grilled fish, chicken or sirloin steak. 2-6-28 Komachi, Kamakura-shi, Kanagawa; Tel: 046-724-5518 AMALFI DELLA SERRA For a memorable ocean view with some traditional Italian pizza, make the trek to Amalfi Della Serra. A f ter getting off t he E noden line at Shichirigahama station, walk the tracks towards Enoshima until you see the restaurant’s sign. Then, cross the rails and start climbing the very steep steps up the cliff until suddenly the pizzeria appears in front of you. Despite the required exertion, this popular joint always has a queue for its wonderful crispy pizza accompanied by the cool Shonan-shore landscape. Pizza is available from ¥1,500, with lunch sets offering appetizer, pasta or pizza, salad and drink from ¥1,890. 1-5-10 Shichirigahama, Kamakura; http://meturl.com/dellasera. Japan- Tourist entry: http://meturl.com/jtdellasera TSUKIJI SEN SUSHI Inside Ofuna station, Tsukiji Sen Sushi is a sushi bar where customers order, devour, pay and move on—all without taking a seat. Cozy yet elegant, Tsukiji Sen Sushi serves up fresh, inexpensive fare to the steady rotation of train passengers during their line transfer. Ask for the omakase sushi for a ten-piece set of seasonal recommendations, which is a bargain at ¥690. JapanTourist entry: http://meturl.com/jtofunasushi Enoshima FUJIMI-TEI There are three reasons to dine at Fujimi-tei, near the Iwaya Caves: a fantastic view of Mt. Fuji, terrace seats by the sea, and excellent seafood. Their horse mackerel set (aji-no-sashimi, rice, miso soup and pickles) and ice cream with green tea sauce are popular pick-me ups. But they also offer a host of other refreshments like ramen and curry, or the refreshing, seaside-style kaki gori (flavored crushed ice). 2-5-5 Enoshima, Fujisawa. Japan- Tourist entry: http://meturl.com/jtfujimitel Yokohama Chinatown NISSYOU Chinatown overemphasizes the importance of dan dan noodles (tantanmen) in Chinese cuisine. But if you’re going to do it, do it right, at Nissyou, a corner dive near the Ishikawacho station gate. That’s right—leave the lavish places with red decor and gold statues for the tourists, this is the home of Chinatown’s best spicy noodles. But if igniting your tongue isn’t your idea of fun, the sanratan and ja ja noodles are not far behind. Whatever you do, don’t forget the gyoza. 1F, 215−1 Okamoto Bldg, Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama; Tel: 045-633-3596).
