When you drive paid highways in Japan, you will see the sign, “SA” which stands for “Service Area”. “Service Area is parking space where there are restrooms, shops, restaurants, and sometimes gas stations. Drivers can take rests here. SA is a rest area.

Otsu SA in Shiga Prefecture has a spectacular view of Lake Biwa. On the first floor of the west SA building (east bound side, but you can get here from the other side), there is a Japanese restaurant with wide windows. Kano Shojuan, a Shiga based traditional Japanese sweets company runs this restaurant, and they have nice Japanese dishes.

They have Kyoto style meal, “Obanzai”, but it was sold out when I got there.

I had Zaru Udon (chilled udon noodle) with Tampura. Yes, I love Tempura!
