Atami, Shizuoka, Japan｜ぱなしぇ

Amazing food!! Even better host!! Loved eating at this beautiful little restaurant. Anyone travelling through Atami should make their way up the hill to try some of the lunch specials here. You are welcomed into the hosts home and he treats you just like family!! Must try!!!

It was a dark night, as we trekked the unpaved roads that even the locals dared not brave, policed by the wild boars since before man. A lighthouse among the churning waves. We crossed the threshold dividing man and beast, greeted by our benevolent hosts who took us into their hearth, where we exchanged the tales of our valorous days of past. We got the Taiwanese style omurice and pork rib rice bowl … how splendid! With bellies warmed and hearts full, there and back again, the road was the same yet we were not.

I’ve eaten here nearly every day during my travel in Atami, and each dish was incredibly delicious! The chef is so kind and made the experience one to remember. He cooks with the freshest and most tasty ingredients, and sure puts a lot of love in every meal he makes
