Try Ise udon at Okada-ya
-
- If you are going on a trip to Ise, trying udon is a must. Udon in Ise is unique. You'd be surprised to find that the noodles are much thicker and much softer. The udon noodles are mixed with a sauce made of tamari soy sauce and dashi (soup stock), topped off with green onion slices. Okada-ya is praised by the locals as having the best bowl of Udon in Ise! If the locals say its the best, then who am I to argue.

Isuzu Chaya, Ise, Mie
-
- Isuzu Chaya is home to some of the best sweets in all of Mie. This traditional style tea shop not far from the iconic Ise-jingu Shrine serves up matcha tea, classic Japanese treats, and some western influenced snacks too. When it comes to choosing, mochi (rice cakes) are the best bet. You’ll find plenty of different options including sweet potato filled daifuku, mochi strawberries, and arguably the most impressive, whole oranges covered in mochi.

Seafood in Mie
-
- With over 1,000 km of coastline, it’s not surprising that Mie prefecture is internationally renowned for its seafood, with a reputation for freshness and excellence. Oysters, sea urchin, sashimi, lobster; often caught by hand by Mie’s famous female divers. In Mie prefecture you can truly enjoy the bounty of the ocean. Ise Hana Ise Hana “Happiness brought about by eating” is Ise Hana’s concept. Hana is a bit out of the way when you’re visiting Ise, in the residential Miyamachi area, but don’t let that put you off. This wonderful mid-range seafood restaurant prides itself on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a place where you can comfortably while away your time. Indeed the restaurant is beautifully laid out in a traditional Japanese manner, with lots of natural light and a view of a Japanese style garden. Try the kamameshi (kettle rice) for a wholesome and filling lunch. Ise Hana Restaurant Tanaka Restaurant Tanaka In southeast Mie on the Shima-hanto peninsula, you would expect a city surrounded on three sides by the sea to produce fantastically fresh seafood, and Shima does not disappoint. If you are stopping by the city do not miss the gem that is Restaurant Tanaka. This reasonably priced seafood establishment is popular amongst locals, which is always a good sign. The majority of ingredients are sourced locally with the freshness you would expect from a seaside town. The menu is large and varied but try the sashimi if you really want a treat. Restaurant Tanaka Yamayasu Suisan Yamayasu Suisan Across the Shima peninsula, the Pearl Road stretches for almost 24 km, covering some excellent views of the Pacific Ocean. Follow this road southwards out of the Toba town for a ten-minute drive and you with find the award-winning restaurant Yamayasu Suisan. Here you can enjoy all you can eat oysters as well as all you can pack oysters to take away. Yamayasu Suisan prides itself on the freshness, cleanliness and taste of its oysters, in an authentic and atmospheric location, for a reasonable price. Yokichiya Yokichiya Want to eat oysters to your heart’s content? Another Toba based restaurant, Yokichiya offers great deals on all you can eat oysters. Don’t assume that quantity means you have to sacrifice quality however, Yokichiya are very selective in their cultivation of oysters, as well as farming the majority of their ingredients themselves. They have seasonal menus and deals, so try one of these to save money and feel in tune with the calendar of the ocean. Buy it fresh Buy it fresh If you’re lucky enough to be staying somewhere with a kitchen or BBQ, or you decide to cook out on the beach (recommended!) you can always buy your own seafood at nearly any small fishing town along the coasts. The prices are reasonable, it doesn’t come any fresher, and we’re willing to bet that you’ll find plenty of fish and other sea creatures that you’ve never even seen before. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Where to Eat in Ise
-
- Ise City is most typically known for being home to one of Japan’s most sacred Shinto shrines, however when it comes to culinary efforts, this pocket of Mie is an excellent place to explore some of the area’s most traditional and eclectic culinary delights. From classic mochi sweets to internationally influenced cuisine, you’ll never run out of things to eat in Ise. Misuzu Gyoza Misuzu Gyoza Though it originated in China, gyoza has become a comfort food staple for many people in Japan and of course internationally. If you find yourself in Mie, be sure to check out the Misuzu Gyoza, a local Ise establishment that’s been serving up gyoza since 1965. The dumplings are handmade in-store and deciding to focus on substance over style, the menu here is elegantly simple. On offer, you’ll find crab croquettes, fried chicken, oden, onigiri and the two main drawcards: fried gyoza and dumpling soup. The store is open from 5pm to midnight every day except Monday. If you do plan to visit, prepare to go early as it packs out pretty fast. Misuzu Gyoza Fukusuke: Ise udon Fukusuke: Ise udon It’d be a crime to visit Ise without making a stop off at Fukusuke, home to some of Ise’s most popular udon, made in the Ise style with very little broth and thick noodles. The dishes here feature thick, perfectly chewy noodles covered with a variety of classic toppings like taro and tempura shrimp, but it’s their sauce that draws the crowds. Fukusuke’s dipping sauce has been perfected, with a dark broth crafted with natural soy sauce and infused with bonito flakes to create a well-balanced taste that’s both complex but not overpowering. Located just a few minutes from Ise Grand Shrine and sitting by the Isuzu River, it’s a great place to stop off for lunch when you’re exploring the area. Fukusuke: Ise udon Bondi-ya International Restaurant Bondi-ya International Restaurant If you’re after something a little more international and want to get some tips from an imported local, check out Bondi-ya. This is a restaurant serving up self-described “multi-national” dishes with a local Mie touch. The restaurant is named after Sydney’s Bondi beach, whose laid-back atmosphere and mix of local and international cultures is what inspired the chef and Bondi-ya owner Pim Wamelink to create this diverse restaurant. The food on offer here is a reflection of Wamelink’s culinary career including his time spent here in Japan. Having studied cuisines all over the world, you can expect to see everything from the more exotic Bondi Beach salad to nasi goreng, as well as dishes from closer to home. Akafuku Honten Akafuku Honten Akafuku Mochi is one of Ise’s most iconic local delicacies. A mochi (rice cake) topped with red bean paste, its unique shape is meant to resemble the Isuzu River which flows through the heart of Ise. The Akafuku Honten teahouse, founded in 1707, was once a popular stop-off for pilgrims making their way to the area to pray to the sun goddess Amaterasu at the Grand Ise Shrine. Today the tea-house is populated by pilgrims of a different kind; tourists and travelers make their way to Akafuku Honten to try Akafuku Mochi, drink tea, and immerse themselves in the history of this impressive classic Japanese building. Akafuku Honten Ise Kadoya: Kadoya Brewery For a taste of more contemporary Ise, be sure to check out the Ise Kadoya microbrewery. Established in 1997, this brewery is small in size, but not in reputation. In 2003, just six years after opening, they won their first international beer award. Since then, the company has continued to craft a diverse selection of both seasonal and regular brews. The brewery also has an onsite beer hall style restaurant, named Biyagura, where guests can sample a selection of beers accompanied with snacks like German sausages and caesar salad, as well as a number of classic Japanese dishes such as edamame and yudofu, an organic silken tofu. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Japan’s Best Wagyu is in Mie
-
- Mie’s beef is world class, and if you ask most Japanese people which part of Japan has the best beef, they’ll most likely say it’s in Mie, specifically Matsusaka. However, the entire prefecture seems to be in the niche, high-end beef business in some way. Perhaps the most famous beef in the world is Kobe Beef, but what Matsusaka lacks in marketing and branding, they make up for at dinnertime. Matsusaka Beef has evenly distributed fats, near perfect marbling and a texture that can melt in your mouth. Japan’s Best Wagyu is in Mie It can be a bit expensive to enjoy this delicacy, largely because Matsusaka Beef is in short supply and the process of producing the beef is extremely selective. Farmers in Matsusaka even give their cows massages and use beer to stimulate cows’ appetite during the summer’s humidity. This is certainly not your average supermarket meat. We’ve picked a few places to enjoy Japan’s best beef during your time in Mie. Dream Ocean Dream Ocean Matsusaka itself is a city located in central Mie Prefecture. If you want to enjoy Matsusaka Beef, where else to go but to the source? Wagyu is never particularly cheap but Matsusaka’s Dream Ocean restaurant offer some fantastic deals, including all-you-can-eat offers. The atmosphere is casual while the quality is consistently high, as the restaurant aims to introduce Matsusaka Beef to people from all over the country and abroad. There are also a variety of preparation methods and cuts so that you can enjoy it in your preferred way; such as steaks, sukiyaki, or shabu shabu. Iga beef at Moritsuji tei Iga beef at Moritsuji tei Iga beef is a bit less famous, but still locally renowned cousin of Matsusaka Beef which was traditionally a preserved food eaten by ninja - something Iga is famous for! Iga beef is known for its vivid color and softness. A wonderful way to enjoy Iga beef is by cooking it with vegetables over coals, and that is exactly what you can do at Moritsuji Tei restaurant in Iga. Where better to get dinner after your visit to the city’s ninja museum? Isshobin Suzuka Isshobin Suzuka Head slightly north from Matsuzaka to the city of Suzuka for Matsuzaka beef with a twist. Isshobin Suzuka cooks A5 Matsuzawa wagyu, the highest quality ranting, but in yakiniku form. They also use touch screens to order for a modern and convenient twist. This establishment prides itself on keeping their quality high, but prices down, and also make their own miso sauce - a trade secret which they have been using for over 50 years. Stage Shoen Stage Shoen If you’re in Iga and craving a slightly different form of yakiniku, head to Stage Shoen. Another Iga beef establishment, this one also specializes in yakiniku, but unusually for these kind of beef establishments, this restaurant has Korean food such as kimchi on offer to complement the meat. The restaurant prides itself on being family friendly and accessible. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

蛤は季節外れで提供されないと思いきや、年中あるとの事で、蛤を食べにお邪魔しました。 旬ではないかもしれませんが、3年物から7年物まで沢山の蛤を頂きました。 美味しかったです。ただ少し値がはるのが玉にきず。

結婚式を2年前にやった、思い出の結婚式場にランチを食べに行きました。 懐石料理は予約が必要ですが、イタリアンは予約無しでも大丈夫でした。 イタリアンは、サラダとスープ、メイン、コーヒーが付いているのに、すごくリーズナブルな価格で食べれました。 素敵な雰囲気の会場で美味しいご飯を食べてすごくしあわせな気持ちになりました。

The red been dessert is actually really sweet, but the tea accompanying it neutralise it. Great view to the river.
