The staff of the tourism association has visited again!
"Seretis," located right in front of Iritahama Beach, is a popular spot where you can enjoy meals while feeling the ocean in a spacious location!✨
This time, we chose the Wagyu burger (1600 yen) and Shimoda Blue Pudding (600 yen).🍔🍮
The burger features the rare cut "Togarashi" from Shimanto Beer Beef, meticulously prepared over two days.
It's tender and juicy, bursting with the flavor of the meat.🤤
The "Shimoda Blue" used in the pudding comes from eggs of free-range chickens, known for their bluish shells.🥚
With a subtle sweetness, it offers a rich, adult flavor.😌🤎
Indulge in this luxurious gourmet experience while gazing at the sea—make sure to check it out!☝️✨

I visited Omusubi Kokoro, which opened this February (^○^)
While rice-ball shops that let you pick from a display case are nice, this place shapes your onigiri after you order 🍙✨
Located near Shimoda’s popular spot Perry Road, it’s a perfect stop to grab a snack after a stroll when you start to feel peckish 🎵
For me, ume (pickled plum) is a must for onigiri, but I couldn’t decide on the second filling….
In the end I narrowed it down to simmered alfonsino, dried fish from Ogiso Shoten, or okaka from Yamada Katsuo Bushi Shop. After much deliberation I chose the simmered alfonsino.
The hot, hefty onigiri are great for taking to your favorite spot this season or for enjoying while walking around!
Of course, you can also eat them inside the shop if you prefer (^^)
Please stop by when you’re exploring the town.
