Talk:Ugo, Akita

Removed material from article
I removed the following material from the article due to its dubious relevance.

== Restaurants == There are few, if any, nationwide or even regional chains. However, there are plenty of good local places to eat.

Soba(signature dish of Ugo)
 * Yasuke (弥助) The origins of Nishimonai soba began in this restaurant with soba brought up from Osaka. Both the hot and cold soba are amazing. The Hiya Gake set and the Nabeyaki Udon(winter only) are highly recommended.
 * Matsuya (松屋) Traditionally regarded as the best soba in town.
 * Hikosa (彦三)Almost impossible to find due to lack of sign, yet very delicious.
 * Haseyama (長谷山) Home of Nishyoku soba, which is available only on weekends and is delicious.
 * Shinta (信太) Miwa's premiere soba shop.

Sushi
 * Maruni (丸二)Very fresh and generously cut sushi, and killer Bentos.
 * Kitayama (喜多山).

Ramen etc.
 * Pekin (北京)
 * Iizuka (飯塚)
 * Maruei (丸栄)

Other
 * Ozhan (桜山). Is probably the most expensive restaurant in town. The prices are pretty high, but the food has a great reputation.

Drinking establishments

 * Matsuri (まつり) Typical Izakaya, less than typical space. If you have more than a few people, you'll want to call ahead.
 * Tan Tan　(淡淡) Izakaya which has an amazing happy hour, 5-7pm ￥200 beers. VERY foreigner friendy.
 * Kawaradakan (川原田館) Very nice traditional style izakaya.
 * Kashiwagi (柏木) Typical small town izakaya. The couple that runs it are very nice.

Ugo has no real pubs or bars. There are, however, a number of snack bars in town.

Onsen

 * Toshitoland (としとらんど). Ugo's only onsen. It has a few baths and saunas, as well as a restaurant upstairs (everyone will tell you to try the Ugo beef.)  Its just up the road from Ugo's town hall.  Open 8am-10pm, 400yen, (300 after 5pm).  Toshitoland also has small cabins available for rent as well as a golf driving range that is converted to ski slope in the winter.

Shopping
Nobody goes to Ugo to shop, but you could if you had to. There is a Max Valu and a Homac, in addition to many locally owned shops where one can buy all the hottest and most sought-after Ugo memorabilia.
