Experience of the stay
It's a Showa-era hotel, but the warmth of the staff and their welcoming spirit were evident throughout the hotel.
There was a curry for a late-night snack and a bread service. Especially, the Aomori bread 'English Toast' lifted the travel mood.
The amenities are of the type that you bring what you need, so it’s good to take the quantity you require.
Of course, standard amenities are available, and there were even earplugs ready.
I used the coffee service, and there was also a miso soup service available for those who wanted it.
Experiences during the trip
Hon-Hachinohe is a treasure trove of delicious foods.
This time, my husband took me to a restaurant that he discovered during a business trip.
'Saba Station'
A mackerel specialty restaurant where the marinated mackerel rice bowl was outstanding.
It was delicious on its own, but adding broth for a chazuke made it even tastier, which I highly recommend.
Nearby, there's also Miroku Yokocho, so you can enjoy wandering around and deciding on a restaurant at your leisure.
'Minato Shokudo'
A super popular restaurant where I wrote my name down at 5:45 AM and finally got to eat at 10:30 AM. (It might have been busier than usual because it was during the Obon holiday.)
Right around the time I was waiting, they call you on the phone, so even if the wait is long, it’s not stressful.
The flounder rice bowl had a moist and elegant flavor, and mixing in the egg yolk made it even tastier and happier.
I recommend eating the soup as a senbei soup. It was a simple and gentle senbei soup.
On the way back, I stumbled upon a rich yogurt drink before leaving Hachinohe.
