For those who don't have the time to venture to the legendary 'Wa Dining Seino' deep in the Wakayama countryside, there's this second outpost located in the basement of the Kintetsu Department Store near Wakayama station. Everything served here comes straight from the flagship, so you know the quality is going to be legit. They serve more or less the same menu as the head shop, but they also have a limited menu not available anywhere else — a marudori (whole chicken) black soup and a niboshi black, both with dark soups made from local prefectural shoyu.
