Omaezaki, Shizuoka, Japan｜Hamaichi

October 2023 “Omaezaki’s bonito sashimi is delicious!” This was the first thing that caught my eye on the menu. Of course I asked for it because it was bonito ski! I ordered the sashimi separately, mozuku vinegar, and the cutlassfish tempura, believing what the menu said, ``Our tempura is not oily.'' The moment I was served the bonito sashimi (1,000 yen), I was grateful to the fisherman! Thank you, host! I started a bonito thanksgiving festival in my heart. Of course, if you stick to the cheeks, the plump texture of the bonito will be irresistible! Mozuku Vinegar (450 yen) I'm happy with the generous amount of thigh mozuku. And when the cutlass tempura (900 yen) came out, I thought, ``Oh my god, it's quite filling...'' but it was fried crisply and crispy, and the cutlass was fluffy...it was easy on the stomach and melted down. We enjoyed delicious seafood at a surprisingly reasonable price. Thank you for the meal!

Last year, I stayed overnight at a nearby business hotel (a few minutes walk away) and had the Hama Teishoku Meal (2,200 yen) for dinner there, which was very delicious and seemed like a great value, so I decided to visit again. This time, I visited the restaurant just after 11am, just after it opened, and tried the "barracuda tempura (850 yen)" that I was so impressed with last time, as a single item, as well as the "kaisendon" (1,500 yen), which is recommended on the menu. order. The seafood bowl was said to take about 15 to 20 minutes to be served, so the tempura came out first, but I was surprised by the amount! There were three 15cm pieces on the plate, and I thought I would get tired of eating them halfway through, but the batter was oily and had a crispy texture, and the barracuda was fluffy and smooth, and I was enjoying it all by myself. While I was enjoying it, I realized that I had eaten it all (lol) After that, I was surprised again by the amount of seafood bowl that arrived at just the right time! It's hard to tell from the image, but the large bowl is filled with thickly sliced ​​fresh fish! The lightly seasoned vinegared rice was a good portion, and I was literally full. (I was worried that if it was an elderly person or a woman, I wouldn't be able to finish it.) I like seafood and have eaten it here and there, but the price of 1,500 yen (as of May 2023) was truly exceptional for its freshness and content. Also, the miso soup and tea were delicious and I felt the restaurant's sincere attitude. I'd like to visit all the shops and try all kinds of things, but if I were around here for dinner, I'd probably end up coming back here again (lol). Next time, if possible, I'd like to come with someone and order a few items at a time. After paying the bill, I sat outside and calmed my stomach while checking the route ahead on my smartphone. Perhaps it was because it was a sunny Sunday in May, when the restrictions on going out due to the new coronavirus had been lifted. A car has arrived. It seems like it takes a while for the food to be served, perhaps due to the careful work that goes into it, so if it's lunch time, it might be a good idea to wait a little longer, or if it's dinner time, it might be a good idea to have a drink while you wait.

I had the bonito bowl, and it was filling, fresh, and delicious. The katsudon is also delicious. I think this is a restaurant that is loved by locals. The inside of the store is very spacious and can accommodate a large number of people depending on reservations.
