    Tottori Sakaiminato-shi Takenouchicho 3659-5
    This Japanese restaurant can be identified by its distinctive crab sign, which is visible from National Route 431. The restaurant serves crab, which the area boasts the largest catches of out of anywhere in Japan; as well as a variety of other seafood. The restaurant's exquisite and hearty seafood rice bowls are topped with so many huge pieces of sashimi, you can't even see the rice underneath. Limited to just ten customers a day, on many weekend days they almost instantly sell out. The restaurant's fish, caught locally, is extremely fresh, and customers rave that here you can truly savor its innate flavor.

    水木しげるロードに行く途中に寄りました。通り沿いから見えるのですが少し入った所にありました。 駐車場はいっぱいでしたが、ちょうど駐車場が1台空き入庫。 土日は丼しかやっていないです。 お目当の海鮮丼2,310円税込を注文。 五分程で着丼。 見た目に圧巻!てんこ盛りではみ出しているではないですか! これにぶっこん亭の醤油をかけ、どこから食べて良いのか悩みながら刺身を一切れ口に頬張り、うまい! 突破口...

    "This restaurant is next to the fish market “Karo-ichi"" at Karo Port. Visitors can taste cuisine made from the local seafood such as white squid, horse mackerel, and thread-sail filefish. The famous specialty is an extravagant dish using a complete, living white squid, served whole as sashimi. It is a delicious dish where the taste of the freshly caught squid fills your mouth with sweetness."

    Tottori Tottori-shi Sakaemachi 230
    This sushi restaurant and ryokan inn is located in the heart of downtown Tottori City. The restaurant has been making its sushi rice using a traditional hagama pot since it was first established in 1934. The restaurant's traditional sushi rice is fluffy and modestly sour, and customers rave that it further enhances the flavor of the establishment's fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan. During lunch, the restaurant's popular and colorful chirashi sushi is reasonably priced and comes with soup. Only available to 20 customers a day, on weekends and when events are being held nearby, it sells out fast. In winter, the establishment offers a popular lodging plan which includes nabe hotpot made with champagne crab, a wintertime tradition in Tottori.
