I thought it was interesting that the restaurant is located on the ocean and you can fish from your room, so I went there.For lunch, I ordered fried shrimp and my husband ordered boiled fish. It doesn't feel like a regular set meal, but rather a plate that looks like an appetizer for a kaiseki meal. All of the dishes were delicious, and my husband was so happy when he took a bite of the stewed red sea bream.My fried shrimp consisted of 5 fries, each about 11cm long, which at first glance doesn't seem that big. However, when I tried it, I quickly realized that the batter on the fries was very thin, making it different from the small shrimp covered in batter. It's very satisfying.What surprised me most was how delicious the shrimp were. It had a plump body that looked like it had been trained through repeated muscle training, but it was neither hard nor watery, and had a sweet and deep flavor.It might be the most delicious fried shrimp I've ever had in my life! ! That's what I thought instantly.However, I was worried about what to do if it was frozen, but when I mustered up the courage to ask the staff, I was told that it was made by peeling shrimp that had been alive just before frying!Yes, yes, because it's delicious.Furthermore, it turned out to be a local shrimp called shirasa shrimp.I once went to a fisherman's restaurant where the fishermen served fresh seafood, but the simple deliciousness was different from that, as it was carefully prepared by someone who had been properly trained in Japanese cooking. The dishes looked professional.Actually, your wife? Even though I bowed my head and said hello, this person ignored me and started eating, feeling a little uncomfortable, but it was so wonderful that I was completely blown away by that.The young female clerk was also cute and pleasant, and I was able to find the best fried shrimp, and now there are more restaurants that I would like to visit again. thank you very much.

I visited him at a dinner party after a memorial service in mid-July.All of the items served were delicious, but the steamed oysters were particularly delicious, and the fried steamed oysters and fried shrimp seemed to be made with fresh oil and were very delicious.It was a kaiseki dinner for about 10 people, but the food was brought out quickly, probably by the grandchildren of the restaurant, and when we left, everyone, including the owner, saw us off, which made us feel very welcome.It was a shop that I would like to use again if I have the opportunity.

I had lunch with my family ^^I had a relaxing time♪The sound of ripples and, if the weather is good, the light reflecting off the water surface will give you a great feel of the ocean.All the lunches were delicious and the simmered dishes were exquisite ⭐︎

I passed by on a solo bike tour and had lunch. I didn't have a reservation for one person, but I was able to come in comfortably and ate the ``Omakase Course.'' Everything is fresh, the rice is delicious, and I'm very satisfied. I'll come back later.

I visited for lunch for the first time. I had always mistakenly thought that reservations were required, but apparently you can come in at lunchtime without a reservation if there is space. (I think it's best to make reservations if possible. On this day, everyone from memorial services to tourists came one after another.) Reservations are required for overnight stays and evenings. Since it was my first time, I ordered the omakase luxury course. Not only the sashimi, but also the shinjo bowl filled with something like cherry blossom mochi, and the fried shrimp filled with plump meat, were all very delicious. I also enjoyed the friendly and kind service. The filefish sashimi was so appealing that I decided to go again.

I was driving around 1pm on Sunday and happened to stop by. I thought it would be difficult to get in since it seems to be a Japanese inn, but it wasn't like that and I was able to have lunch without making a reservation.This is a rare building built on the sea.I thought it would be more like fisherman's food, but I was disappointed in a good way! !Each dish was very delicate from the presentation to the taste. It was also served in a nice looking bowl. The set meal is 2,300 yen, including appetizer, side dish, miso soup, pickles, main dish, dessert (fruit), and coffee. I ordered a sashimi set meal and a fried shrimp set meal. The sashimi was plump, crunchy, fresh and delicious. The fried shrimp had thick shrimp that made me happy at first bite. What I particularly liked was that the arm dish had cherry-flavored mochi rice inside the minced fish and was topped with bean paste. It was so delicious! !I thought this dish was a good deal for the price 🉐Tables were set up in a large tatami room, and since it was late, we were the only ones there. It seemed like there were still rooms available, and I heard other guests saying that there were still rooms available. It seemed like you could spend your time with small children without any hesitation.
