Nagata Drive-In
A long-established drive-in diner along the old road in Mobara, in business for over 50 years. Prides itself on fresh seafood procured without going through auction, with absolutely no preservatives. The large horse mackerel fry set comes with two thick, juicy pieces. Since being featured on 'Gaki no Tsukai' in 2018, weekends see cars from outside the prefecture. Also featured on 'Kodoku no Gurume' and 'Ariyoshi's World Simultaneous Broadcast'.
149 Tabelog reviews (score 3.46), Yahoo! Maps 3.54. Regulars praise 'generous portions and fresh fish', 'reassuring no preservatives', and 'love the retro Showa atmosphere'. Latest reports from April 2025 (Golden Week) and December 2025 show packed parking lots on weekends. Despite TV fame, locals continue to love this long-established diner.
