A word-of-mouth reviewer wrote, "Although I live in Shizuoka, I first heard about the restaurant from an acquaintance in Higashi Izu who told me that the meat fried rice was a specialty, and I went to eat it the next day. Many people are "satisfied" with the local atmosphere of acceptance, which is simple and warm. On the other hand, Izu Inatori is quite quiet at night and some izakaya are closed, so it is best to visit during the daylight hours when Kappa Shokudo is open (11:00-15:00).
