Nagai Shokudo

Famous for its plump simmered pork offal stew! A local Gunma diner to be proud of.

Last update :
Supervised by :  永井食堂

A popular diner known for its simmered pork offal stew, with loyal fans not only among locals but also from outside the prefecture. Inside, the simple setup of just 24 counter seats creates an atmosphere that feels easy to step into, even on your own.

The signature Motsuni Teishoku, or simmered pork offal set meal, is made with plenty of fresh domestic pork small intestine and slowly cooked in a special sweet-savory miso blend of Echigo miso and Shinshu miso. It stands out for its springy texture and rich flavor. Paired with freshly cooked Koshihikari rice from Gunma Prefecture, it delivers a simple yet memorable taste. In the colder seasons especially, the piping-hot stew and rising steam are sure to whet your appetite and warm both body and soul.

On weekdays, the restaurant opens from 9:00am, which is another nice plus, and if you avoid lunchtime, you can usually get in without much wait. The takeout-only Motsukko is also popular as a souvenir or for enjoying at home, letting you savor the afterglow of your trip. If you want a hearty meal on the road or want to experience local cuisine, this is a place you can count on.
