10/17/2024, CruiseDay 6, Akita


A snippet of Akita on Google Maps.
1. is the cruise terminal.
2. is the JR Akita station with department stores, shops and restaurants.


A welcome song and dance performance at the pier greeted us.


One of the eye-catching things at the Citizen Market was these expensive mushrooms.
4000 JPY = USD$26; 5500 JPY = USD$36.
Certainly, Japan has no shortage of moderately priced shitake mushrooms.
I wonder what these special mushrooms are for.


menu


Kiritanpo hotpot that we ordered.
We also ordered Oyakodon to share.


Picture on the restaurant's wall.
The restaurant touted its Oyakodon, which was made with native Hinai chicken.


We were very happy to enjoy a leisurely lunch at such a spacious and quiet place.
After we left, we saw that people were queuing outside to be seated.
