Kitakaisen is one of my favorite places to eat on island. First off, you have to love a place that has a huge menu with pictures! Sushi, gyoza, california rolls, yakisoba, chicken fried rice, horsemeat sashimi; yeah, I’m quite sure I’ve seen that last one on the menu…I could go on and on. The hubby’s personal favorite is the chicken rice soup; mine is the soumen champuru which you can get spicy or not. There’s a good selection of food for both the adventurous and the not so adventurous.
When I want to eat out with buddies this is one of the first places that come to mind. Besides the variety of food it’s a great place for large groups as they have a tatami mat area with long tables that can be divided up accordingly.
It’s also really reasonable. Most of the time dinner for my family including the two little piglets comes out to about 3500 yen or so and we’re all quite full and happy. We don’t usually head there on the weekdays but they do offer specials like half price sushi combinations on Monday and 20% off for ladies only groups on Wednesdays.
