What this video shows

From the guide “Fukui Food Guide: Crab, Soba and Local Favourites”: For a first taste of Fukui, try oroshi soba or sauce katsudon for an everyday meal, then plan a separate coastal meal if Echizen crab is your priority.

The guide goes on: “Choose your first dish”. Start with the kind of meal you want. Oroshi soba is a bowl of soba topped with grated daikon; sauce katsudon is rice topped with a thin pork cutlet dipped in sauce.

From the guide “Fukui Prefecture Travel Guide: Temples, Cliffs and History”: Fukui brings together an active Zen monastery, a dramatic Sea of Japan coastline and the remains of a samurai-era castle town. Add a dinosaur museum in Katsuyama, and there is plenty to fill more than one day.
