Nangu
The first local delicacy is "Himeji Oden ". Himeji Oden differs slightly from regular Oden in that it is made by boiling Oden in a pot and dipping it in ginger soy sauce. There are many restaurants in Himeji City that serve Himeji Oden, and the thickness of the Oden broth and ginger soy sauce differ depending on the restaurant.
A restaurant with the atmosphere of a family home
One of these restaurants is "Noko ", located near Himeji Station in the center of Himeji. The restaurant is small, with only 17 seats, and most of the seats are at the counter, so you can enjoy Himeji oden in an at-home environment where you feel close to other customers and the proprietress. It is a good place to stop by on a solo trip.
Oden soup stock and ginger flavor match
Himeji Oden is served in a style where you choose your favorite ingredients from the menu; since you can choose from one, we recommend that you carefully select what you want to eat and indulge in it. The gentle flavor of regular oden is combined with the punch of ginger soy sauce for a different taste of oden. Oden also goes well with sake, so be sure to pair it with sake as well.

Nada Kiku Kappa Tei
Next, let me introduce you to a different kind of Himeji oden. " Nadagiku Kappatei "is a restaurant where you can enjoy authentic sake and oden, operated by Nadagiku Sake Brewery, a famous brewery in Himeji that has been in business for over 100 years. It is located only 5 minutes from Himeji Castle and Himeji Station, making it an easy place to stop by on your next trip.
A sake barrel welcomes you at the store.
Once inside the restaurant, the walls are decorated with sake bottles, which is an impressive sight, as if the restaurant were run by a sake brewery. The shop also offers a wide variety of sake, and we recommend that you start by trying out the seasonal sake to find out what you like best.
White oden with sakekasu
Shiro-oden is served with a sauce made from sakekasu (sake lees). The Shiro Oden with Sake Kasu sauce has a mild taste with a hint of sweetness, unlike the Himeji Oden with a sharp taste of ginger soy sauce, so please compare the two.

One Sheet
The next local delicacy is "Anago (conger eel) cuisine ". Himeji is famous for its seafood cuisine because of its proximity to the port and the city by the sea. Among them, conger eel harvested in the Seto Inland Sea has a reputation for being not only firm but also fatty and delicious, and there are many restaurants serving conger eel dishes in the Himeji area. Another feature of conger eel cuisine is that you can enjoy fresh sashimi, which is rarely available elsewhere.
Limited to 10 servings of conger eel sashimi
At this restaurant "Ichibarira ", fresh conger eel from the Harimanada Sea is purchased daily, and cooking begins only after an order is placed, so you can enjoy a fresher taste. In addition, precious conger eel that grows to 3-4 times the size of regular conger eel caught around Himeji Port is called "Densuke Anago "and is sold at a high price. The Densuke Anago sashimi is highly recommended as it has a crispy texture and offers a taste of conger eel never tasted before. In addition to sashimi, there are many other dishes such as grilled conger eel with butter ponzu sauce, grilled conger eel, and steamed conger eel, so you can enjoy conger eel in various ways.

ramen octagon
The next local delicacy is "Himeji Ramen ". Although it may not be familiar to many, Himeji ramen is a local ramen that has expanded around the Harima region, with a soy sauce-based soup and ginger as the most common topping. Among them, "Ramen Hakkaku "has 38 stores in the Harima region, and is a ramen restaurant that all locals have had at least once.
Special offers available on the days that fall on the 4 and 8.
At Ramen Hakkaku, you can choose from four types of soup fatness: light, semi-fatty, rich, and stiff, so you can enjoy the soup that suits you best. In addition, in honor of the restaurant's name, "Hakkaku ", we also offer special promotions such as 88 yen for gyoza (gyoza), which accompanies ramen, on the day "8 "of each month, and 88 yen for fried chicken on the day "4 "of each month. Even men who are in the mood for a full meal can be satisfied with this restaurant.

Sawada Family
The next local delicacy is "Hinepon ". Hine Pon is a dish of seared chicken meat with condiments and ponzu (Japanese sauce made from ponzu citrus juice). The more you chew, the more the umami of the meat and the ponzu (Japanese citrus juice) become entwined and the more you drink, so it is often introduced as a specialty menu item at taverns in the Himeji area.
Enjoy authentic Jidori chicken dishes at a restaurant specializing in Banshu Jidori chicken
"Sawadaya "specializes in Banshu Jidori chicken, and you can enjoy Jidori chicken dishes in a variety of cooking methods as well as Hinepon, a local gourmet dish. We also recommend sashimi made with fresh jidori chicken, which is only available at the specialty restaurant, and sukiyaki made with jidori chicken, which is the restaurant's signature dish. Sukiyaki is usually associated with beef, but when the juicy chicken thigh is cooked in a sweet and spicy sauce and tossed with an egg, the chicken and egg are a perfect parent-child collaboration. We hope you will try it.

cafe de monsieur
The next local gourmet food is "almond toast ". Toast is usually eaten with jam or butter, but there is a store in Himeji where "almond butter "originated. That is "Cafe de Monsieur ", where you can get almond toast. Monsieur's almond butter is a combination of coarsely ground almonds and margarine, and has an exquisite savory and sweet flavor.
A mouth-watering lunch
In addition to almond toast, Monsieur also offers an extensive menu of meals. Basically, the menu offers a variety of Western-style dishes, but it is important to note that all of the dishes are very generous in volume. It is recommended that you share the menu with several people, as the portions may be too large for a single woman to finish.
Almond butter as a souvenir
This almond butter can be purchased in stores. Currently, in addition to the regular almond butter, there are four other flavors available: kinako, black sesame, and green tea. If you want to taste Monsieur's almond toast at home, you can buy it as a souvenir to take home. They are also sold online, so if you like it, we recommend that you buy it online.

Okonomiyaki Enoki
The last local gourmet food I would like to introduce is "Chanpon-yaki ". When you hear the word "chanpon", you may think of a cloudy white soup with lots of toppings such as vegetables and shrimps, but chanpon-yaki in Himeji is completely different. "Champon-yaki "is a mixture of yakisoba and yakiudon. Champon-yaki has a long history in Himeji and has won the hearts of Himeji residents for more than 60 years, and is even sold as a side dish in supermarkets.
Eating chanpon-yaki on a teppan
The restaurant where you can eat this chanpon-yaki is "Okonomiyaki Enoki ". It is located in a residential area a little far from the center of Himeji City, but it has a parking lot, so it is recommended for those who want to satisfy their hunger after a drive. The restaurant offers a wide variety of seasonal menus and more than 15 types of chanpon-yaki at any given time, so try the chanpon-yaki with your favorite combination of ingredients.
