The restaurant that is filled with interesting goods

When I, @Christine_T , @kumax_aomori and Len visited Aomori for attending to a meet-up ([Recap] Aomori 360° photography), we went to a restaurant for lunch. That was a very interesting restaurant. This time, I introduce the restaurant to you.

Hanaichimonme (花いちもんめ)

As I wanted to eat a buckwheat noodle, we found a flag about it and went there. The external of the restaurant is normal, it looks just a traditional Japanese style house restaurant. However, I was surprised the moment when came into the restaurant.

I thought that is a souvenir shop. Honestly, most of them were for sale products. They were accumulated by the shop owner, displayed, and being sold. The assortment is very unique and awesome. We couldn’t find general products in there.

You can see inside via my 360-degree photos.

The shop owner introduced a number of stories about the goods. She loves traveling all over Japan and collecting interesting goods.

Cuisines are also nice. We enjoyed traditional local food, Kuroishi Tsuyu-Yakisoba and tasty buckwheat noodle with Tempura.

When you go to this region, I recommend you to visit this restaurant. You may be able to find engaging goods.

Aomori 360° photographyで立ち寄った蕎麦屋さん、青森県黒石市の花いちもんめをご紹介します。こちのお店はもちろん蕎麦も美味しいのですが、店内は店長さんが全国各地で収集してきてたユニークな商品でいっぱいです。どんなものに出会えるかはその時の運次第。お近くに行った際にはぜひよってみて下さい。ちなみに私は布製の新巻鮭を購入しました。

おお!、去年の秋のミートアップですね。

あまりに近くてスルーしていただけに、入ったときの「なんだこりゃー!」は数倍に跳ね上がりました。

そして天ザルの天ぷらの量にも驚き。

そう考えると、地元の発掘もまだまだと感じます。

There are restaurants out on the country roads here in the US that will have a similar assortment of interesting hand made items. I always enjoy a little shopping before or after lunch!
