Menu items enjoyed at the Hiraiso-kan Japanese Restaurant.
What we have received this time is,
- Deluxe Rice Bowl
- Marinated Tuna Rice Bowl
- Fried Oysters
- Fried Salmon
It was a delightful combination that allowed us to enjoy both seafood and fried dishes.
A "Luxury Bowl" filled with plenty of seafood.
The luxurious bowl is a seafood donburi topped with tuna, salmon, white fish, shirasu (whitebait), and fresh octopus.
Fresh octopus served whole gives a delightful presentation and makes you feel like you're dining right by the sea.
The dish features a generous amount of toppings over the rice, ensuring that the presence of the sashimi is felt all the way to the last bite.
With miso soup, a small side dish, and pickles included, the satisfaction level for a sightseeing lunch is quite high.
Richly flavored "Zuke Chirashi Don"
The marinated tuna bowl features chunky pieces of tuna, generously coated in a rich marinade.
The flavor of sesame and soy sauce is prominent, making it hearty yet not overwhelming.
"For those who enjoy sashimi but find it a bit heavy when it's all sashimi, this dish offers a lighter and more approachable option."
This also comes with miso soup, a small side dish, and pickles.
Freshly Fried Oyster and Salmon Fry
The fried oysters and salmon, ordered individually, have a light and crispy batter.
The fried oysters are incredibly juicy on the inside, with a rich flavor of the sea.
Salmon fry is plump and retains the natural sweetness of the fish.
The menu pairs well with tartar sauce, making it easy to choose options even for those who are not fond of seafood, which adds a sense of comfort for visitors at this tourist spot.
You can also enjoy the local specialty "Anko Nabe" (monkfish hot pot) by making a reservation.
At the Japanese restaurant in Hiraiso-kan, in addition to the regular menu, you can enjoy "Anko Nabe," a delicious anglerfish hot pot.
