Check out Whynot Japan's website for other restaurants or go to one of their parties, nice people there.

I have been to that restaurant at Harborland, and it is a good spot, for sure. I will take a look at Whynot Japan...never been there.

As for restaurants, I'm afraid all my suggestions are 10 years out of date and may well have closed or moved by now, or maybe under new ownership and not the same as it once was. But if you are passing through Hashimoto, there are a couple of great places right near the train station that are worth visiting: 1 for the best kara'age I had in Japan, and the other for the best (and only) zosui I had in Japan. Have you had zosui? It's a rice stew with meat and veggies. This place specialized in it, serving 24 different kinds, each made fresh to order in an individual iron pot, which they bring to your table. My favorite was the kashiwa zosui, with chicken and veggies, but they have lots of choices.
After lunch, you can go right back to the station and now catch a train heading east, into the Yoshino valley of Nara, to see the cherry trees blooming (if they are right now). Also, lots of interesting little towns to explore, and the area has some ancient burial mounds, as well as museums featuring some of the things discovered in and around them.

Zosui? Never had that! I think I might be to early for the cherry blossoms (I hope not) I have not been to Yoshino Valley...but that is close enough.
