Fresh Shiokaze no Sato

Located within Shiokaze no Sato Tsunoshima, a facility that also features a souvenir shop, this seaside eatery was designed to resemble a traditional menoha hut—a small shelter used to store fishing tools for gathering shellfish. Here, you can savor a variety of fresh seafood dishes.

Enjoy local catches from the Tsunoshima area, served as sashimi or simmered dishes. Popular menu items include sashimi set meals (complete with small side dishes, rice, miso soup, and pickles), rice bowls heaped with fresh sea urchin caught in Houhoku Town, and tendon (tempura rice bowls) featuring tender pufferfish. Another recommendation is the Bukkake Iso Midori Udon, packed with the briny flavor of the sea, available both on its own or paired with a set that includes savory rice cooked with turban shell.

The adjoining souvenir shop offers a wide range of specialty products unique to Tsunoshima, such as Tsunoshima Imo Shochu (sweet potato shochu made from locally harvested sweet potatoes), bottled sea urchin and turban shell, fish cakes with Tsunoshima seaweed, and yokan (sweet bean jelly) infused with aonori (green seaweed) from the Awanogawa River. Be sure to take home a piece of Tsunoshima’s charm as a memory of your visit.
