Miyama In Casalecchio di reno

04/08/2025: A unique little place. The chef is Japanese and makes traditional dishes you won't find anywhere else. The place is very small and looks like something out of a novel: decorated with Japanese objects and labels, seating for only six, and photos of the menu on the walls. Because it's such a small place, it has its own rules: you can't reserve seats, and if one member of your group is missing, you'll have to wait and come in together. They also offer takeout. The owner may seem brusque, but he's actually very kind if you're kind back. The dishes are many and varied: there are freshly prepared onigiri with various fillings, a bit of sushi, but the best part are the hot dishes. We've tried many of them over time. We especially recommend the takoyaki; they're very good. The udon and rice dishes are also very good. Because it's small, there's no bathroom.

31/07/2025: *An experience from two years ago* It's a very simple, everyday Japanese homestyle meal, perfect for a rainy day: light, yet warm and comforting. The karaage (Japanese fried chicken) was truly delicious. The decor clearly evokes the atmosphere of the 「昭和時代」, with details that seem to be lifted from the past.
