Ekimae Shokudo
A no-frills popular diner right in front of Shimokita Station, the northernmost railway station on Honshu. From the local speciality miso kayaki (scallops grilled in a shell with miso and egg) to the regulars' favourite ramen-and-fried-rice combo and the JS Chikuma curry recreated from a JMSDF Ominato Base recipe (20 servings a day), it feeds the town with honest food and generous portions.
Locals and rail travellers praise the cheap, filling meals by the station and the authentic miso kayaki. Many love the old-school diner atmosphere.
