Spreading the appeal of Food Paradise Tottori Prefecture

I'm Yukari Tanaka, a local influencer at TORiTABE.
This time, I went with my eldest daughter (1st year middle school) who loves Japanese food.
To Izai Kamifukuhara store.
It opened in October 2022 and is already hugely popular.
This is a store that is often talked about among moms of other moms, with them saying, "That's interesting."

Appearance and introspection

The store has counter seating, tables, and tatami seating.
In a calm atmosphere
The large windows give a sense of openness, with views of the greenery and sky.
The atmosphere seems even better at night!

Specialty: Homemade potato salad 680 yen (tax included)

"If you order from the lunch menu, you can also order from the dinner menu."
Hearing this, I decided to order the evening menu item that caught my eye: homemade potato salad.

My eldest daughter and I were surprised when the dishes arrived on the table!
"Eh? Is this potato salad?"
You'll be amazed at how it looks, almost like a work of art.

It is full of tobiko (flying fish eggs).
The bright orange color is very beautiful.
When you scoop it up with a spoon and eat it, you can feel the crunchy texture of the flying fish roe.
It goes perfectly with smooth potato salad!
It was a delicious potato salad with a new texture that can only be found in Izai.

Summary: This is a restaurant recommended for people like this.

This is the perfect place for when you want to treat yourself.
A high-quality lunch that will satisfy both your stomach and your heart.
I was also curious about the seafood bowl, which is just as popular as Hitsumabushi!

Although it has an adult atmosphere, they also offer a children's lunch (1,100 yen) and tatami seating.
It would also be a good idea to have a lunch gathering with moms and their children.

[Digression]
During this interview, my eldest daughter was glued to the menu.
Later, when I was away on a business trip, my husband and I visited the store in Izai at night.
My eldest daughter said, "I was able to talk with my dad at leisure, and the dinner menu was great!"
My husband said, "There was a wide variety of sake, and the food was delicious and hard to find anywhere else!"
And both of us were very satisfied.

Saturday nights are especially popular, so it's a good idea to make a reservation early.
