"Coffee Place Karasu" | Fushimi Station

"Coffee place Karasu" is a cafe located in Sakae 1-chome, Naka-ku, Nagoya, which is also popular with cafe lovers. It is known as the filming location for The Solitary Gourmet Nagoya business trip edition. The specialty menu item "An Toast" ordered by Goro is very popular.

This time, I ordered the Karasu blended coffee and "an toast" that appeared in the drama. Dark roasted coffee goes well with sweet bean paste toast.

The Solitary Gourmet filming location ②
"Taiwan ramen Koyo"｜Nishi Ward, Nagoya City

Goro, who was shaken by whether to eat "Taiwan ramen" or "Hitsumabushi" in The Solitary Gourmet Nagoya business trip edition, ended up with "Taiwan ramen". Goro visited "Taiwan ramen Koyo" in Nishi Ward, Nagoya City.

During the program, Goro ordered three items: "Taiwan ramen," "spicy garlic fried rice," and "vinegared chicken." At the restaurant, it is also on the menu as “Goro-san Set (¥2,035)”.

There are 5 levels of spiciness for the ramen: American, Normal, Slightly Spicy, Medium Spicy, and Super Spicy, so even those who don't like spicy food can try it. Please try it.

"Princess Odori”｜Sakae Station

Similarly, "Princess Odori", which was filmed as a playground for the main character, Sayaka, is also known as a shooting location for Birigyaru.

This is the very place where Sayaka and her friends ran after escaping from the club. At the time of the screening of the film, I also remember that I felt uplifted when this place was shown on the screen.
It is nice when a place you know is used in a movie.

In addition, the area near Sakae Station Exit 2, where you can see the Ferris wheel of Sunshine Sakae, was also used as a filming location for Birigyaru.
