Ramen shop ”Marudebu”
The Marudebu ramen
This is a unique ramen that can only be found in Gifu. It feels like Japanese soba because the soup is Japanese-style. However, it is Chinese ramen.

Later, he moved to a place near Lake Biwa and built the legendary Azuchi- Castle.

In the upper reaches, river fish are caught using a fishing method called cormorant fishing.

Salad
The vegetables in the countryside are delicious.
Raw meat
Hida beef sashimi.
Liver
This is Hida beef liver. You have to cook the surface of it.
You might get food poisoning, so it’s pointless.
Let’s grill it.
You can enjoy a variety of meat cuts, each with a different flavor.
Because they purchase the whole Hida beef cow, you can eat various cuts of beef, including rare cuts.
You will be surprised at the different tastes of the meat and fat.

Here is an explanation of each cut of meat.
If a vegan saw this, they would faint.
