Atami, Shizuoka, Japan｜Iwai

A local Japanese restaurant with excellent ambiance allowing diners to enjoy the meal and wine at their own pace. Unlike other restaurants round the corners with loud diners and very busy, this restaurant is quieter. Many diners ordered tempura but I had the local seasonal sashimi. Note: The menu is handwritten in Japanese - Google translate camera or picture doesn’t work well.

I was able to eat there on my second try. The store has a modest appearance and many regular customers, so I was able to relax in a calm atmosphere that was far beyond the hustle and bustle of Nakamise and Atami Heiwa-dori shopping streets on Sundays. Not only the food, but the proprietress' attentive customer service is the best. I had heard that only a small number of people could enter the store, so I was lining up before the store opened, and the lady of the souvenir shop next door kindly lent me a chair. I asked the landlady's mother. Thank you for all the stories that made me forget the time, such as the origin of the beckoning cat on the pottery in front of the store. Please let me come again.
