Sugō Shokudō, located right in front of Kuroishi Station on the Kōnan Railway, offers a taste of local history and flavor. This retro-style diner, rumored to be the model for the novel and film "Tsugaru Hyakunen Shokudo," specializes in Kuroishi's famous Tsuyu Yakisoba (broth-based yakisoba). Enjoy the unique combination of stir-fried noodles in a savory broth, a local B-grade gourmet dish. The restaurant has a nostalgic atmosphere, run by two sisters, with a cozy living room space in the back. It's an ideal spot to experience a traditional Japanese eatery and sample a regional specialty. Open for lunch and dinner, it's a convenient stop when visiting Kuroishi.
