The shaved ice here is my go-to for summer hangouts with friends. It&#39;s so light and refreshing, and adding the red bean paste makes it just right. Perfect for cooling down after a walk.

The pork cutlet set is really good. The breading is light and crispy, the meat is tender. The whole set, including the miso soup and pickles, was just right. I liked how comfortable the chairs were, made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.

The veggie galette was huge and so tasty! They were super nice about swapping out the salmon for extra avocado for me. Perfect for a chill catch-up with friends - we lingered for ages and didn&#39;t feel rushed at all.

The black sesame latte was so creamy and not too sweet. The scone was warm and crumbly, perfect with it. I really appreciated how comfortable the armchairs were, made it easy to just relax and enjoy. A lovely, quiet spot for a treat.

This restaurant offers a delightful experience with dishes made from seasonal ingredients, making it a great choice for social gatherings.

Pan-fried dumplings have a nice crispy bottom. Fried chicken is good value too. Quick lunch spot.

Stopped in before my Shinkansen. The tempura was fresh and crispy. They have an English menu, which is nice. Portions were decent for the price, felt like a fair deal for a quick meal.

Kirasse is a solid choice if you&#39;re new to Utsunomiya&#39;s gyoza scene. Helps you get a baseline for comparison.

The two ladies running this Ghibli-style cafe are so sweet. Everything is homemade, which explains the wait.

The soba here is really fresh and firm, I loved the texture. The duck soup was rich and went so well with the noodles. A nice find!

Been coming here for years. The food always tastes like they care about it, which is why I keep returning.

Been coming here for years. Their tori paitan ramen is the real deal, with that rich broth and thin noodles. Gyoza skins are nice and thick too.
