Kamakura "Iwata Coffee"

I definitely want to stop by when I go to Kamakura! Here is a summary of Kamakura's gourmet foods that the En-eating editorial department actually ate and enjoyed. Hot cakes from the famous coffee shop "Iwata Coffee" and homemade pudding from the "milk hall".

Caraway

I want to have a cheap and delicious lunch in Kamakura, even if I line up a little! I would like to recommend " Caraway " to those who say. It's a popular restaurant just off Komachi-dori, on a narrow side street, and you can eat curry rice with a very satisfying volume and delicious curry rice at a surprising price!

There are 6 types of curry rice such as beef, pork and scallops. There is also hayashi rice. This time I chose chicken curry (660 yen). Rice is usually served in large quantities, so I asked for a small amount (30 yen discount).

With a mellow mouthfeel, I feel sweetness for a moment, but soon the spiciness of spices rushes in. If you continue to eat, your tongue will feel numb and it will be so hot that you want water. A plate where you can enjoy the deep flavor and richness of meat, vegetables, and other things. This is the highest peak of home-style curry rice!

By the way, the most expensive curry is scallops, which usually costs 960 yen. It doesn't cost 1,000 yen for lunch in Kamakura ... Overwhelming cost performance! However, as it is a popular restaurant, be prepared for a long line on weekends.

We recommend the "Morning Shirasu Don" (1,450 yen), which uses raw shirasu harvested off the coast of Koshigoe that morning. It is a bowl of rice topped with fried shirasu and raw shirasu. Grated ginger is on the top. Green onions are also included. With hot spring egg, pickles, and red miso soup.

Sprinkle a little Tosa soy sauce on the tabletop on the raw shirasu, put onsen tamago on it, and enjoy it while breaking it at your favorite timing. It's nice to be able to compare the two types of shirasu, the plump raw shirasu and the plump juicy fried shirasu!

However, there is not always a raw bowl. I don't know until that morning, so maybe I should check the store's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or contact me by phone. Please note that fishing is prohibited from New Year's Day to March 10th.

Milk bar

The "old-fashioned" coffee shop " Milk Hall " stands quietly on a side street off Komachi Street. It is a specialty store that has been around since 1976.

What is the best is the atmosphere! Even though it's daytime, the interior is a little dim, the music of BGM that flows comfortably, the scent of cigarettes that tickles your nose, and the antique miscellaneous goods that are displayed everywhere are all the best! Everything that makes up the milk bar is nostalgic, and makes you feel as if you have jumped over the Showa era and slipped back in time to the Taisho era.

The coffee shop's classic dessert "Homemade pudding (650 yen)" is squeezed with whipped cream and topped with walnuts.

Kamakura "Milk Hall"

When scooped with a spoon, it feels a little hard. It has a firm texture and elasticity, and has an earthquake-resistant structure that does not collapse even if you eat more than half of it. When you put it in your mouth, it crumbles and the taste of the egg spreads gently. The sweetness is modest. The crisp and bitter caramel sauce tightens the overall taste, giving it an adult taste.

Kamakura "Milk Hall"

Not only meals and desserts, but also alcohol and snacks are available, so you can use it like a bar. Even if you drink beer from daytime and enjoy chorizo on holidays ♪

After all, the popular "hot cake (800 yen)" should be eaten. Two layers of plump and thick dough that is 4 or 5 centimeters tall, with 2 butters. If you put a knife in the dark top surface ... it's hard! It's crispy and fragrant, and it's like a sable cookie!

In contrast to this crispy surface, the inside is fluffy! Still, when you chew it, it melts moistly. The gentle sweetness of milk and eggs spreads softly in the mouth, leaving a fragrant finish.
