Wakayama, Japan｜Grand Bleu Mimura（グランブルーミムラ）

I just had a lovely dinner at Grand Bleu Mimura. It was such a surprise because we hadn't planned anything before arriving and just chose the closest place to our hotel. The waitress was so kind and helpful and was able to explain the choices despite the language barrier. The food was so so good! Each course was both delicious and plated so so beautifully. The flavors were so well balanced and the ingredients tasted very fresh. For me, the stand-out was a shrimp that was just so sweet and perfect. I left feeling so special and lucky to have found this restaurant.

We came to Grand Bleu Mimura without a reservation because we had just gotten into town on vacation and hadn't properly planned ahead on what we would do for dinner. They seated us without hesitation, and what followed was the most surprising and amazing dining experience of our lives. We chose the less expensive set meal option, and for the incredibly reasonable price of 4400 Yen (about $30), we received an inventive, beautiful, and *delicious* 5-course meal. It was something you could normally expect to pay three times as much for anywhere else. I can't say say enough nice things about this place, I can only say it is well worth a visit if you're in the area. Just incredible.

Very nice restaurant by the seaside. We had the course meals and all the dishes are excellent especially the fish dish. Must visit if you are in Wakayama.
