“ We came to this store for early lunch before we entered the Oirase gorge, and it is great that this store opens so early from 10am. We ordered the Bara Yaki (バラ焼き) which is the famous local food in Towada area, and the food was so delicious. Really recommend this place if you want to try this food during your visit to Towada Lake or Oirase gorge. ”
