Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture: 4 recommended seafood bowls full of seafood

Fukui Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan. The Wakasa area of Fukui Prefecture, where Yaokumagawa is located, faces the Rias coast and is blessed with abundant seafood. You can enjoy the strength of the morning production area and luxurious seafood bowls at surprisingly reasonable prices! We hope you will enjoy a delicious kaisendon when you come to Wakasa! In this issue, we will show you four recommended kaisendon in Wakasa *Photographs are borrowed from the official website of Wakasa Bay Tourism Federation.

①Osashimi Restaurant Kanematsu

A favorite of the locals. You can enjoy a very satisfying bowl of rice topped with seafood at a reasonable price. If you go at lunch time, the parking lot is full of cars of local customers! You can choose from several types of rice bowls! The most popular menu item is the Kanematsu-don (1,200 yen including tax). It's hard to believe that you can enjoy a bowl of rice topped with a hearty portion of fresh fish for such a reasonable price. The price is very reasonable, as a bowl of kaisen-don in Kanazawa and other sightseeing spots costs about 2,000 yen. What is even better is that you can have another bowl of arajiru soup for free. You can enjoy as many servings of the rich and luxurious arajiru soup containing chopped arai as you like. We recommend this restaurant with confidence.

②Mikata Hidamari

Gorgeous to the eye and satisfying to the stomach. Introducing the very popular menu item, Hourai Kaisen Tamatebako (2,500 yen including tax). If you have come all the way on a trip, you want to have a special Kaisen-don (bowl of rice topped with seafood), don't you? It comes with a wide variety of sashimi and tempura, with an egg yolk in the center for added variety. The taste and texture changes with each bite, making this Kaisen-don an exciting and enjoyable dish. If you want to enjoy a different kind of Kaisen-don, or if you want to treat yourself, this is the one for you.

③Uosan-tei

This set restaurant is located 5 minutes by car from the Wakasa Obama Fish Center, a market where a wide variety of morning-caught seafood is on display. Enjoy a leisurely meal in a private room with an ocean view. The set meal menu carefully prepared by mothers using fresh fish such as grilled fish set meal and boiled fish set meal, not to mention the seafood rice bowl, is very popular. All are truly delicious! The safe price, which is only possible in the area of production, is also very nice. When I visited the restaurant in the spring, I enjoyed my meal while looking out the window at the cherry blossoms in full bloom in the restaurant's garden. I recommend this restaurant for those who want to enjoy a leisurely meal without worrying about their surroundings.

Recommendation! The a la carte dishes recommended by professionals who know Wakasa's fish inside and out are also excellent. They also serve a wide variety of locally brewed sake. We highly recommend this restaurant for those who want to taste more than just Kaisendon and for those who want to use it for dinner.

④Goen

This is a popular restaurant whose name always comes up when locals are asked about "restaurants where you can eat delicious fish. The mother of the proprietress has a cute personality. The kaisen-don (1,400 yen including tax) uses plenty of fresh fish in season. When you ask the staff what they recommend for the day, they will recommend a variety of menu items, including tempura, sashimi, and grilled fish, all made with the freshest seafood available at that time! The a la carte dishes recommended by professionals who know Wakasa's fish inside and out are also excellent. They also serve a wide variety of locally brewed sake. We highly recommend this restaurant for those who want to taste more than just Kaisendon and for those who want to use it for dinner.
