    訪問時、壁には数多くのメニューが張り出されていたのだが、当日はワサビ丼とザルそばセットともう一品のみの提供とのことであった。 私たちの目的はワサビ丼であるのでワサビ丼とざるそばセットを注文。 注文し終わるとおろし金(鮫皮)と生わさびが運ばれてきた。 提供品が出来るまで生わさびを摩り下ろしていてください、とのこと。 鮫皮のおろし金なので思ったように摩り下ろせなかったが、提供される頃に...

Its cuisine is made up of fish and shellfish caught in the waters just offshore from Izu-Shimoda. The restaurant serves 10 kinds of Ryoshi-meshi (Fisherman's rice dishes), in which first dipping sauce and then fish broth is added to the traditional Ochazuke (green tea over rice) so that diners can enjoy the combination of flavors. The best known dish on the menu is Tokujo Ryoshin-meshi, a variety of seafood over rice, but the restaurant is also proud of its dishes based on kinmedai (splendid alfonsino), including kinmedai over rice. The restaurant offers a private room overlooking the ocean with seating for up to eight people. The time of the last order varies during the summer.

    個室のような席に通され、海が目の前で眺めがよく、お得と思います。お料理もお値段の割にレベルが高く、日替わりの海鮮丼をいただきましたが、丼だけでなく、お味噌汁や付け合わせもすべて美味しかったです。また行きたいと思います。

    Shizuoka Pref. Kamogunhigashizuchou Inatori 371-4
    This sushi shop located approximately seven minutes on foot from Izu-Inatori Station is a famous shop that has been serving up kinmedai (red bream) nigiri sushi for over 30 years. Starting with the local Inatori kinmedai which is said to be particularly high quality even among Izu kinmedai, they also source wild local fish such as buri (yellowtail), hirame (flounder) and madai (another type of red sea bream) from a fishmarket that is within close walking distance. When the surface of the kinmedai is quickly seared, it takes on an exquisite taste that allows one to experience both the sweetness of the fat and the umami flavor. Enjoying sushi as a set with arajiru (fishhead soup made with kinmedai) is also popular.

Shizuoka Areas

With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
