Kawaramachi Izumiya

4.5

This restaurant in the historic district of Kawaramachi is on a bank of the Nagaragawa River, famous for cormorant fishing. It specializes in ayu sweetfish cuisine. Their salt grilled ayu carefully cooked over Kishu binchotan charcoal is so soft you can eat it from head to tail, including the bones. Their Ayu Ramen topped with sun-dried and flaked sweetfish is a local favorite. If you put rice in the last of the broth, you can enjoy it even further as “ayu-zosui. Their salt grilled ayu and bamboo leaf rolled sushi are available for takeout and good for bringing with you on the boat to view cormorant fishing. Evening reservations are required during cormorant fishing season.

8,800円の鮎コースでお願いしました。この日は、木曽川水系の和良川で獲れた天然物です。前菜盛合せ、焼鮎の笹巻き寿し、鮎のリエット、白熟クリームと季節野菜のサラダ、天然鮎塩炭火焼、天然鮎うるか炭火焼、若鮎と季節野菜の天ぷら、天然鮎ぞうすい、鮎飛騨山椒煮と漬物、自家製ジェラートと続きました。日本一の味とスイカの皮やキュウリの香が口の中に広がりました。天然鮎の大満足の豪華ランチとなりました。
