ひのきや - 那須烏山市 日本

Located along the Nakagawa River, this restaurant specializing in ayu dishes is a place I visit every year. Previously, there was a grill (yana) here, but now it is a restaurant focusing on ayu dishes. You can enjoy ayu grilled slowly on a hearth. Combined with the atmosphere, it is incredibly delicious! There is complimentary water available inside, as well as vending machines. There are also chair seats, making it suitable for elderly customers as well.

I visited the restaurant again this year. I don't know if it was because it was later than usual, but I enjoyed the delicious ayu with roe, which was very fluffy.

The ayu sashimi had no fishy taste and even kids could enjoy it. The fried ayu skin was crispy like a snack with just the right amount of salt, very delicious. The river in front of the restaurant was shallow and kids could play in it, and there was even a small pool which made the children very happy. However, the restroom was located on the opposite side of the road and felt a bit old.

子供の頃から鮎の塩焼きと言えばこちらです！鮎定食は塩焼き２匹、鮎のフライ1匹、ご飯、味噌汁、刺身こんにゃく、おしんこが付いてきます！塩焼きは良く焼けていて頭から全部食べられましたし鮎のフライは子持ちで美味しいですよ写真はボケてますけど希望すれば炭火で焼きながら食べられます もうヤナはやってないみたいで残念です最近ないなぁって思ってたんです22年はGWから営業するらしいですよ！水辺を眺めながら気持ち良く食事ができるオススメの食事処です！

10年前は毎年行っていた栃木県烏山ひのきや。那珂川にヤナを仕掛けて泳いでるあゆをヤナに上げて生捕りします。 店主に尋ねると５年前からヤナは行っていないと言っていました。 この店は鮎を囲炉裏の前で自分で焼くシステムです。他には鮎の刺身、鮎飯、鮎フライの鮎フルコース料理です。 コロナ渦の中ですが建物自体に窓も無くて換気は最高でソーシャルディスタンスもしっかりとられ安心して食事が楽しめました。 これからの季節は子持ち落ち鮎が楽しめますので機会があったらもう一度伺いたいと思います。
