They specialize in rice soup. An excellent warm comforting meal

2026.8 Speaking of Shirashika (white deer), according to mythology, Takemikazuchi no Mikoto is said to have traveled from present-day Ibaraki to Kasuga Taisha in Nara riding a white deer. Also, the white deer is considered a symbol of longevity and good fortune; might that be the origin of the shop's name? Porridge is associated with health, such as when you catch a cold or nanakusa-gayu, and today I ate it mixed with salted salmon and umeboshi, and it was delicious. Since it's summer here, about 3 pieces of dashi frozen to the size of ping-pong balls were served alongside. It's apparently for use when it's hot, and it reminded me of Miyazaki's specialty "hiya-jiru." Summer is hot, so accepting that and seeking coolness through food and atmosphere is also Japanese and good. Looking at the shikishi (signed boards), it seems Abe Akie also came here this year.

A place to eat porridge. Here they provide dashi (broth) ice cubes; if you find the porridge too hot, you can put the ice cubes in to cool the porridge down without it being diluted. The toppings are on the salty side, presumably to be eaten together with the porridge. The corn potage is very thick, and it feels like whole ears of corn were condensed into this potage.
