Chiba Pref. Isumishi Ohara 11574

Isabaya, located next to the fish market, is a restaurant offering freshly caught seafood from Ohara Port. In times of bad weather when the catch is small some dishes on the menu are limited in quantity or not served at all but that is because Isabaya only wants to serve the finest, freshest seafood. Naturally their sashimi and tempura are excellent but their tako-meishi (octopus rice) made with locally caught octopus is also superb.
