2 Best Restaurants in Hirosaki, Tohoku

Tasty, healthful, and authentic dishes from the region are Kikufuji's specialty. Excellent local varieties of sake are also available. It might look like an office building, but the glass case with some of their offerings on display clues you in. There is a picture menu, but it does not include everything they serve on any given day, so you could also look around at other tables to see what strikes you.

Try it for yourself and you'll see why people come here from all over Honshu for a cup of the ringo no reisei supu (cold apple soup topped with crusted baked apple skins). The totally organic "miracle" apples that farmer Kimura raises and the dishes chef Yamazaki prepares keep attracting customers. The restaurant's cuisine leans toward the French with a bit of local color, hence all the apples.
