御食事処 わらじ
A local-style restaurant near Kikuya Yokocho in Hagi Castle Town, known for Hagi-coast sea urchin bowls and udon with natsumikan citrus slices. Good value.
Located in Gofuku-cho in Hagi Castle Town, near Kikuya Yokocho. It is a handy lunch stop while strolling the Buke-yashiki samurai residence district. The popular sea urchin bowl set uses sea urchin from the Hagi coast and comes with a small bowl of seasonal vegetables. The udon features slices of Hagi’s specialty natsumikan citrus, which is refreshing and cuts through richness. Reviews often mention the country-style udon served in a bowl carved from a large bamboo tube, and the Bun Bento. Ordering in advance also lets you try Hagi local dishes such as itokoni and noppei-jiru. About 1,000–2,000 yen per person; there is a small shop on site. About 5 minutes’ walk from the Hagi Museum bus stop.
