Minato Shokudo 2nd branch operated by Kanoya fishermen's cooperative association

This sister restaurant of the popular eatery located inside Kanoya Port sits in the heart of the Osumi Peninsula. Operated by the Kanoya City Fisheries Cooperative, it guarantees top-quality seafood. During the day, the restaurant offers affordable set meals, while at night it transforms into a cozy izakaya.

One of the top recommendations is the menu featuring “Kanoya Kanpachi,” a premium brand of amberjack proudly raised by the local fishing cooperative. These fish are raised for two years in offshore sea cages and fed high-quality feed such as sardines. They’re carefully processed right on the boat to maintain peak freshness. The result is a firm, springy texture and perfect marbling that rivals wild-caught fish. In addition to signature dishes like the marinated rice bowl and seared Kanpachi bowl, you can also enjoy creative options such as Kanpachi collar with vegetable ankake sauce, nanbanzuke (sweet and sour marinade), and even Kanpachi hamburg steak.
Another must-try is the crispy kakiage tempura made with plump Hime Amaebi (sweet shrimp).

On weekends, the place fills up quickly as soon as it opens at 11 a.m., so be prepared for a wait.
