Dinner in a ninja room
「忍者」は伝説や映画の世界ですよね。
だったら、あの壁にかけてある鎮鎌はなんですか？そして、天井ならぶら下がっている刀は?
こんな不気味な所で家族で夕食?
長野駅近辺の「ごとく亭」です。駅から歩いて5分の大成アビナスビルの地下と言う秘密的な場所で、信州の代表の料理を出しながらオーナーの宮下さんのもう片っ方の人生が…
忍者!
戸隠道。
信じてくれない?本人に聞いてごらん。
しかし、その前は長野でしか食べれないのをごちそう!
馬刺し?5種類。
蝗や蜂の子?もちろん。
地酒?メニューにたっぷりあるけど、裏メニューも是非聞いてみてください。
私ども家族の気に入りのお店で、今回は「忍者部屋」が新しく出来て、なお楽しめた。
Ninjas are just a work of fiction, or something out of the movies, right?
Then, what's that nasty scythe doing on the wall? And why is there a katana hanging from the ceiling?
This must be Gotoku-tei, a restaurant in the basement (of course) of Taisei Abinasu Bldg. 5 minutes from Nagano Station. The owner, Miyashita-san, when he isn't serving the best of Nagano Prefecture's cuisine, practices the art of ninjutsu.
Togakure style.
Don't believe me? Just ask him. But not before indulging in his only-in-Nagano specialties.
Raw horse meat? Served 5 ways.
Grilled locusts and bee larvae? Of course.
And to wash it down, local sake? Not only a wide selection on the menu, but ask for their off-the-menu choices, too.
Gotoku-tei has always been one of our family's favorite restaurants. Now with their new ninja room, we enjoyed it even more!
