Washokudokoro Yumemisaki

Located in Tsunoshima, a lively destination in the northwestern part of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Washokudokoro Yumemisaki offers a true taste of the island’s abundant seafood. Popular for fishing, swimming, and camping, Tsunoshima provides the perfect setting to enjoy the ocean’s bounty.

The menu features a wide variety of seafood rice bowls, including selections topped with pufferfish, salmon and salmon roe, sea urchin, and abalone. Seasonal specialties such as yellowtail and amberjack bowls also make appearances at certain times of the year. In addition, diners can enjoy an array of dishes like tempura, sashimi set meals, grilled eel boxes (unajū), and mackerel rice (saba-meshi), all showcasing the freshness of local seafood.

Among the many offerings, the must-try is the Tokutoi Ika—a top-grade swordtip squid landed at Kottoi Fishing Port in Tsunoshima. Raised in plankton-rich waters, Tokutoi Ika is prized for its firm texture and pronounced sweetness. The Ika Gozen (Squid Set Meal) features an entire swordtip squid served as sashimi, with the tentacles offered either as tempura or salt-grilled. Prepared immediately after being taken from the live tank, it guarantees peak freshness and flavor.
