HITOYASUMI Farmers Market (Village-run)

Hitoyasumi, where you can enjoy a new take on egg on rice, is a restaurant run by an agricultural cooperative that brings together over 40 local farmers. They pride themselves on their lunches, which use safe and secure ingredients, including home-grown rice, vegetables, and eggs, and are made by people they know. Their PTKG (Premium Egg on Rice) (490 yen), which has been available since the restaurant first opened, is a fluffy dish made by pouring the egg white into a meringue over rice and then topping it with the egg yolk. Behind the store, 100 free-range chickens are raised in a free-range environment, providing fresh eggs every day. The eggs of these chickens, which are raised on a diet that is a blend of rice, bran, wheat, and oyster shells, are characterized by their slightly firm yolks. The chewy, rich yolks have a strong flavor, and you can really taste the deliciousness. The "Daily Set Meal" (650 yen) comes with two side dishes, rice, miso soup, and pickles. In addition to fried chicken, the main dish changes depending on the day, with options including chicken cutlet, ginger pork, and omelettes. At lunchtime, it's a popular lunch that sees a steady stream of people who work nearby. You can serve yourself as much rice and miso soup as you like, and you can even have as many refills as you like! For an additional 60 yen, you can add a raw egg, so if you order more rice, you can have a specially made egg on rice. In addition to the table seating inside the restaurant, there is also an outdoor dining area, so when the weather is nice you can enjoy your meal while taking in the tranquil nature of Misaki Town, surrounded by mountains and fields.
