IwateShizukuishi Prince Hotel

Kobushi restaurant has a sake tasting set with 3 sakes from the Kikunotsukasa brewery in Morioka. Very generous pours.

The Kobushi dining room is the classier Japanese / French restaurant at the hotel. You can have a choice of 2 set menus which culminate in this Maesawa and Iwate Beef course. Both of which were delicious. Just wish there was a bit more.

They serve all 3 of Morioka's great noodles at the Prince buffet. Wanko soba, Reimen and Jya Jya men. You can have your own wanko soba challenge here.

Onigiris are available at the shop but they go quickly. Spam and egg especially.

Happy hour runs from 4-5:30pm and 8-11pm at the Lounge. Not really a bar just discounted drinks from the shop. Nice view of the slopes.

The shop at the Prince Shizukuishi was well stocked with a large selection of drinks, desserts, cup noodles and nibbles. There is even microwave rice, canned food and curries for meals. I do like how Prince hotels charge normal and not "resort prices".
