    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Higashihonmachi 4-1
    Yamaichi is a restaurant located on the banks of the Ohashi River approximately 12 minutes on foot from Matsue Station, run by a family with a very cozy atmosphere. On the counter guests can find the day’s obanzai, a traditional style of Japanese cuisine native to Kyoto. Yamaichi mainly serves dishes using seafood from Lake Shinji and Matsue specialty dishes. Their miso soup made with large clams from lake Shinji with their meaty, rich flavor is particularly popular. The restaurant also serves a whole range of local dishes which go well with a cup of sake such as their deep-fried moroge shrimp (one of the seven varieties of seafood usually found in Lake Shinji), or udon, as well as their pickled mackerel made with mackerel caught off the Shimane Peninsula.

    居酒屋だけど、食事だけでもOK。一人でも入りやすい。宍道湖の食材を中心に地元の料理を提供し、どれもおいしい。メニューに値段が入っていないが、観光客と分かっても、おなか一杯食べて、ビールも含めて8000円。

    Shimane Pref. Odashi Yunotsuchouyunotsu B 31
    A Kominka café&bar built over 100 years ago on the theme of local production-local consumption, Roan is a comfortable place to be and well represents the Japanese modern style. The variety of drinks available is striking, with a large number of umeshu (plum wines) from each region in Japan. The All-you-can-drink course is good deal, as you can try local sake and “kametsubo-jikomi” shochu.

    温泉津温泉で1泊したときの夕食で訪れました。海の日の3連休だったからか6時ごろに訪れた時は満席とのことでしたが、8時からなら大丈夫ということで先に温泉に行ってから食事に行きました。宿の方によれば温泉津温泉の徒歩圏内にレストランは3軒しかないとのことだったので、どこで食べるにしろ予約しておいた方が良さそうです。 お店は新しくおしゃれなイタリアンのお店という感じですが、メニューはピザやパスタだけでな...

    Shimane Kanoashi-gun Tsuwanocho Ushiroda Ro 665
    A restaurant in Tsuwano where waterways run throughout the city. About five minutes on foot from the station in a quiet residential area, it's a great place to enjoy the flavors of a long-standing establishment. The old-fashioned interior modeled after a traditional Japanese house is clean and spacious. They offer abbreviated kaiseki courses and bento boxed lunches, with a focus on local cuisine featuring wild vegetables and other seasonal ingredients. Uzume-meshi, a local Iwami rice dish, consists of hot broth added to rice with various items buried beneath. The delicately flavored dish is a must-try while walking around Tsuwano.

    Shimane Kanoashi-gun Tsuwanocho Tonomachi
    A restaurant opposite Tsuwano Catholic Church serving regional cuisine. Guests enjoy seasonal dishes and matcha green tea at the former residence of the third chief retainer of the Tsuwano clan. A Japanese garden visible from the window changes with the seasons. It's known for offering a warm space for the pleasure of eyes, palate, and mind where you dine on fare made with seasonal ingredients. The tranquil tearoom in the garden is the heart of Tsuwano's tea culture. It's modeled after Toinseki, a tearoom in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto. Genji-maki is a Tsuwano local favorite and the ideal accompaniment for matcha green tea when taking a rest from strolling around Tsuwano.

    出雲市の友人を訪ねました。お店の人ひととの会話から、彼の御用達なのだと思いました。大変丁寧な接客でした。ランチの時間でしたが、どの器も夏の季節に爽快感をもたらすもので、その上に盛られた創作和食料理料理の味を引き立てていました。とてもきれいな料理ばかりでしたので、写真を投稿します。次は夜にも行ってみたいと思いました。

    Shimane Ochi-gun Onancho Yakami

    お肉なしでも満足度高いです。地元の食材が新鮮で美味しいのはもちろんですが、調味料などもこだわってらっしゃるのでしょうか。味付けがどれも本当に美味しかったです。シンプルに見えて手が込んでるのだと思います。種類はそれほど多くはないですが、1つ1つが美味しいので逆に種類がたくさんなくてよかったと思うくらいでした。島根に行ったらぜひまた訪れたいと思います。

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
