Hello! I’m SacChi, a blogger based in Kochi.
If you’re planning a scenic trip through the Niyodo River area, here’s the perfect foodie route to try:
Ishokuya Kadota, a beloved lunch spot in Ochicho, and
BLUE BREW Craft Brewery & Taproom, where you can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer made with natural spring water from Niyodogawa Town.
🍝 Ishokuya Kadota – A Must-Visit Lunch Spot in Ochicho

A longtime local favorite for both residents and tourists, Ishokuya Kadota offers a wide variety of menu items, plus a spacious dining area with private rooms—ideal for families or groups.


📍 This time I tried their Tsugani Pasta, one of their signature dishes!
Tsugani is a local river crab, and the pasta blends its rich flavor with creamy sauce for a luxurious bite—honestly comparable to fine crab dishes!

✨ Bonus: Post about your meal on social media and get 10% off (also applies to their famous Niyodo Blue Curry).
The pasta also comes with rice, risotto-style—perfect for savoring every drop of sauce. The owner’s attention to flavor and detail really shines here.

🍺 BLUE BREW – Craft Beer with a View in Niyodogawa Town
BLUE BREW is a small brewery and taproom nestled in nature, run by a California-born brewer who combines his U.S. craft brewing experience with pure Niyodo River water and local Kochi ingredients.

From yuzu to tea leaves and ginger, each beer is crafted with care and creativity.
The taproom offers both tasting flights and meals in a relaxing setting surrounded by nature.
🚗 Since the location is remote, be sure to visit with a designated driver if you plan to drink.


This time, I picked up a few takeaway bottles for a tasting session at home—and I can’t wait to try them!
