| The mansion of an old family located at the southern end of Jinaimachi
town was reborn as an authentic Italian restaurant. Why don't you spend
a little luxury time, looking at a well-kept garden over the veranda from
the table arranged in the dining room? You can enjoy the delicious Italian cuisine of Sugimoto chef who trained in northern Italy, while drinking wine, and you can spend moments of bliss to forget the time. The tastes of dishes being served are authentic ones and I believe that it's the best place of hospitality to spend a relaxing time for those who visit Tondabayashi and explore the streets of Jinaimachi town. Please enjoy the gem of the Italian cuisine at Jinaimachi town in Tondabayashi, which is particular about local ingredients such as rainbow trout raised in the farm of Chihaya-akasaka village in in Minami-kawachi County, Inunaki pork of Sennan and vegetables proiduced in Minami-kawachi area.

| In the afternoon, at the Oasi Italian restaurant close to the former Sugiyama residence, an important cultural property of the country, I took time and enjoyed
the authentic Italian cuisine, while overlooking the landscape of well-maintained
Japanese garden. Mr. Sugimoto, the chef and owner of the restaurant, goes out every morning to purchase fresh vegetables which are cultivated by local farmers in neighborhood of Minami-Kawachi and Senshuu regions. As the networks among Mr. Sugimoto, local farmers and Michi-no-Eki, or roadside stations have spread, the chef asked local farmers to cultivate new vegetables or he is also suggested by them to select fresh vegetables of their agricultural products. The kind of local vegetables that rests on the table has been recently increasing . In addition, under the concept of "local production for local consumption", he also use Inunaki pork as ingredients locally produced in Senshuu region, Osaka Pref. Plates are elaborate pieces and good appearance. Valueing the relashipship with the neighborhood, "vessel of the earth" has been specially produced by handmade pottery workshop Asuka, a 2-minute walk from the resutaurant. August 31,2014 by Author |

History (Origin)
Katsuma residence was built by the Nakamura family in the late Edo period.
Mr. Choichiro Sugiyama in Jinaimachi town in Tondabayashi purchased the
estate in 1874 and it was called South Sugiyama. As a defense of the south
of Jinaimachi town, located in the important point of old East Kouya highway
from long ago, the location seems to have been a citadel of scenic spot
overlooking the Ishikawa River and the Kongo Mountains in the distance. Katsuma family bought the estate 1910 and has owned it until now.
Ms. Tsuyuko Isonokami (her autonym was Takako Sugiyama), the successor
of Sugiyama head family and a poet used to live in her owned lodge called
Enichi-an, built in the grounds of the South Sugiyama and had a good time
of composing poems.
There were a creek and water mill around the site of Tsuyuko’s art where
a zigzag path continued down from the lodge of Enichi-an.
Her famous poem of "Koitabashi" (which literally means a small
wooden bridge) has been praised in its high artistic quality since it was
published in the poetry magazine “Myojo” and the like. She wrote the feelings
to continue waiting for a lover in the evening on the bridge over the stream
of the water wheel.
Remark:
The description of this column was quoted from the commentary on the back
of Katsuma residence admission ticket.
