1.Enjoy a big bowl of kakuni at Kakuton, a restaurant specializing in kakuni donburi (square rice bowl) with excellent cost performance.
The kaku-ni rice bowls are cooked for two days, and the meat is juicy, lightly seasoned, and topped with a special sauce before serving. The meat is lightly seasoned to make it juicy and refreshing, and before serving, it is seared with a banner and seasoned with a special sauce. We recommend changing the flavor with mustard and spicy spices on the table, as well as a wide variety of toppings that are served on a separate plate for +150 yen.
Kakuni Donburi (regular) 990 yen. The large size of the Kakuni is a delight, and the sweet sauce goes perfectly with the rice. Comes with miso soup, a small bowl of cooked food, and pickles.

Pain Prunelle was established along Route 442 at Setagawa. The main items lined up in the store are baguettes, campagnes, and other hard items with the taste and sweetness of wheat. Matsuoka hopes that the store will "help revitalize Shiga," using Nishinokhaori whole wheat flour from a farmer in Nagahama City (SHIBATA GROUND MUSIC) and vegetables from nearby farmers. The live kitchen, where you can see the sales space from the kitchen, is also a space where you can see the faces of the guests.
Whole wheat 100 half 450 yen. You can feel the rich flavor even if you eat it as it is. Also recommended as a sandwich. Croissant 230 yen. Made with 10% Nishino Kaori whole wheat flour. One bite and you will be addicted to its crispy outside and moist inside.
