Shiromiyagura (城見櫓 - literally, “Castle View Turret”) is a restaurant just across from the castle’s nagabeya that I’ve long planned to visit but never have - but now I definitely will. It had been closed due to building damage since the quakes but has recently reopened with the help of crowd funding (that’s apparently グループ補助金 in Japanese), spiffed up with an entrance designed to resemble the castle walls and the owner, Hayashi Shōzō-san, promising that every seat will have an excellent castle view. So now I’ve really got to go. - William https://www.shiromiyagura.com/
