【Report by the foreigner who knows Ayabe well.】

Name of facility : Gencho Visit date : 2021/1/27 Visitor name : Sazonov Maxim

Outside Gencho


I heard that there is a Japanese style restaurant

where I can enjoy delicious 'hotpot with wild boar' in Ayabe city

so I visited Gencho this time.

The restaurant is located along Yura river

so you could enjoy river view from room.

Its garden is well maintained and the room is large

so I could relax and enjoy the dinner.

Stuff at the restaurant is so polite and kind.

They take measures against COVID-19 so I felt secured.


A room with scenery


When I saw wild boar meat at first, I thought 'it is much different from the meat I see at the supermarket.'

It was delicious more than I expected.

People might think wild boar meat is tough but it was not,

it was tender and melted in my mouth.


Wild boar meat from Tamba and vegetables from Ayabe


The portions were big but I enjoyed every single of the meal

because it was very delicious.

The miso taste soup stock had a strong flavor and,

fat and gravy were melted into the soup as time went on

so it became more rich taste.


Hotpot with wild boar


The owner told us interesting story at the end.

I really enjoyed our visit and dinner.

I would like to visit again if I have an opportunity.
