Product Info
A perfect stop on your way back from visiting Kikuchi Gorge. A restaurant run by a mushroom farmer where you can enjoy the bounty of the forest.
We visited 'Mori no Ajidokoro Nakamura,' surrounded by nature near Kikuchi Gorge. The owner, a shiitake farmer, takes pride in his mushrooms, and the plump nameko mushrooms used in the dago-jiru are all carefully log-grown. Enjoy premium Kyushu local chicken and tender, refined-tasting duck, grilled to fragrant perfection over charcoal. Spend a luxurious moment in this forest hideaway, relaxing while experiencing the nature of the four seasons with all five senses. [Reporting/Writing: Citrus Co., Ltd. Nishi]
The mushroom and dago soup set meal (1,800 yen) comes with local chicken, our proud mushroom and dago soup, rice, seasonal side dishes, soft-boiled egg, tofu, Shiraae (fried tofu with sesame sauce), and pickles. Our home-grown log mushrooms are a little different from commercially available mushrooms! Please give them a try.
This restaurant is full of memories, built from scratch by our predecessor over a period of three years. The bounty of the mountains, located in the middle of nature near Ryumon Dam, is exceptional. You can spend a luxurious time relaxing without worrying about time, while watching the scenery that changes with the seasons, such as lush green trees and autumn leaves. This location away from the hustle and bustle of the city is sure to become your favorite hideaway.
The owner carefully selects chicken from Kyushu with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and uses thigh meat. This popular dish is grilled over charcoal until fragrant, and then the excess fat is removed, and then it is lightly seasoned with Amakusa kettle-fried salt. The dumpling soup is filled with chewy dumplings made from a blend of several types of flour, including wheat flour, and large, plump nameko mushrooms that are homemade and grown on logs. When combined with the miso soup made from a secret blend of miso, the umami flavor permeates the whole body, creating a nostalgic, comforting taste.
The shiitake mushrooms grown with confidence by the owner, who used to be a full-time shiitake farmer, have a stronger fragrance than ordinary mushrooms, which is their greatest feature. This is because the owner, who knows everything about mushrooms, carefully selects the trees used for cultivation and is particular about the time-consuming log cultivation method. As they are grown in nature, shiitake mushrooms are only available from October to March. These special shiitake mushrooms are a delicacy that you should definitely try at least once.
