Today, let me introduce you to Tsuruyahonten, a long-standing local favorite in Kasama.
Believe it or not, this historic restaurant was founded in the late Edo period — over 100 years ago!

As soon as you step inside, you’re welcomed by a warm and nostalgic atmosphere unique to a long-established eatery. The interior exudes a calm, retro charm, and every dish reflects a deep commitment to quality ingredients.

This time, I had the Garlic Chive & Liver Set Meal (Nira Reba Teishoku).
No matter how many times I eat it, the flavor never fails to make me smile.

One of the must-try dishes here is the Motsuni Set Meal – tender, flavorful stewed pork tripe that pairs perfectly with rice.
I’ve already decided that’s what I’ll order on my next visit!

From its traditional exterior to its truly delicious food, Tsuruyahonten is a place well worth visiting — even if it means going a little out of your way.
If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend stopping by!
