In the city of Miyazu, Kyoto Prefecture, there is a sandbar known as Amanohashidate, which stretches for about 3.6 kilometers, separating the Aso Sea and Miyazu Bay. It is considered one of Japan's three most scenic views. Within the Amanohashidate Park, which is covered by approximately 5,000 pine trees, there is a longstanding and unique tea house and restaurant established in 1948 called Hashidate Chaya. The restaurant is run by Daikuro Yamamoto, who also manages the Amanohashidate View Land amusement park. In addition to indoor dining, customers can also enjoy outdoor dining while admiring the views of the sea and pine forest from the tables and benches placed outside the restaurant. During the summer, the restaurant serves as a beach house for the nearby Amanohashidate Beach. The specialty dish of the restaurant is the "Asari Don," made with clams from Amanohashidate. Other popular dishes include freshly grilled "Kuro Chikuwa" made from small fish caught in Miyazu Bay, "Tokoroten" made from agar-agar harvested in Miyazu Bay, homemade "Warabi Mochi" topped with black bean kinako from Tango, and homemade "Amazake." During my family trip in the summer, we visited Amanohashidate by rental car. We rented bicycles at the pier near the Bunchu-do (Chion-ji) temple at the southern base of Amanohashidate and set out to explore the pine forest of Amanohashidate Park. After crossing the entrance bridge and walking for about 5 minutes through the pine tree-lined path, we arrived at Amanohashidate Beach, where we were amazed by the incredibly clear blue sea. Right next to the beach and within the pine forest, we found Hashidate Chaya. The tea house, outdoor shop, and changing shower room are all combined, and there are benches and table seats outside, creating a beach house-like atmosphere. It was a busy weekend during the summer vacation, with many young people and families enjoying the restaurant. Inside the restaurant, we were greeted by a young male staff member who directed us to our table and offered us cold water. The spacious interior of the restaurant had exposed black pillars and beams, giving it a traditional Japanese house feel. Despite the crowded outside, there were only about 10 customers inside. We chose a table near the back of the restaurant with a view of the sea of Aso through the pine forest. We decided to try the famous "Asari Don" dish, as well as the "Kuro Chikuwa." We also ordered the "Soba" noodles, which could be served hot or cold. The staff member quickly brought our orders to the table. The "Kuro Chikuwa" was delicious, and we enjoyed the unique flavors of the dishes. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience at Hashidate Chaya.

After visiting Amanohashidate, we stopped by this famous restaurant and tried their specialty dishes: clam rice bowl, black chikuwa, and sweet dumplings. The clam rice bowl was served in a flavorful broth, the black chikuwa was crispy and fragrant, and the sweet dumplings had a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. It was hot outside, so we enjoyed two glasses of beer along with our meal. My companions also had zenzai. Everything was delicious!

I had clam rice bowl for lunch. The clams in a savory broth were served on top of rice, and it had a gentle flavor that was very delicious. I arrived at 11 o'clock and was seated right away, so it seems like visiting early is a good idea. The view of Amanohashidate from the tatami room was also very nice.

I had a clam rice bowl. The broth was richer than I expected, and the bowl was filled with soup. It was incredibly delicious with every bite. I finished it in no time. I never expected to find such delicious food in a random restaurant in Amanohashidate. Thank you for the meal.

Today, while walking across Amanohashidate, I stopped at Hashidate Chaya and had a black chikuwa for 480 yen. It was a chikuwa made of fish paste wrapped around a 30-centimeter bamboo stick, and they grilled it on the spot. The fish flavor was rich and delicious. It was a bit hot at first, but still enjoyable (laughs).

It's been a while since I visited Amanohashidate! I parked my car at the Kasa Matsuri Park and rented a bicycle to explore Amanohashidate View Land and Chion-ji Temple area. Just before the Rotating Bridge, there is a tea house called Hashidate Chaya. I parked my bike and sat outside with my dog. The oden, clam rice bowl, clam porridge, and grilled black fish cake were all delicious! The clam rice bowl and clam porridge had a lot of clams and the clam broth was tasty. The grilled black fish cake was freshly cooked and really delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Just as the morning sun began to shine and the weather was pleasantly warm, I enjoyed a bowl of clam rice bowl. When I opened the lid, steam rose gently. The rice, soaked in flavorful broth, was generously topped with clams. Having this breakfast in front of the breathtaking view of Amanohashidate was truly special, and it was the perfect way to end my 5-day journey exploring the Tokaido-Kinki region with the Seishun 18 ticket. ☺️

On this day, I visited Amanohashidate for the first time in my life. I descended from "Amanohashidate View Land" and headed towards Amanohashidate itself. Before starting my stroll, I stumbled upon the restaurant I was aiming for that day, called "Hashidate Chaya." This place is located within the special scenic spot of Amanohashidate, offering a chance to relax while enjoying a meal with a view of the pine trees and the sea. The restaurant is perfect for visitors exploring the park or taking a break. I had seen it being featured on the TV show "Asa da! Nama desu Tabi Salad" on TV Asahi in November 2022, which made me curious to visit. I sat at a table and ordered the following dishes: 1) Clam rice bowl for 1,100 yen, which came with miso soup, soba noodles, mozuku vinegar, and pickles. The clam rice bowl was served in a lidded bowl, and upon opening it, I was greeted with a generous amount of plump clams. The clams were fresh and flavorful, and the dish had a soupy texture that made the rice almost like a porridge. The soba noodles had a unique taste, and the pickles reminded me of the ones I've had in Tokyo. 2) Black chikuwa for 450 yen, a local specialty that was quite large in size. The chikuwa was grilled to perfection, offering a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. It was a satisfying and flavorful snack. After this meal, I enjoyed my first-ever stroll along Amanohashidate.

Hello! I went to a restaurant located in Amanohashidate, surrounded by pine trees with a view of the sea in between. They had a variety of light meal options, but I decided to try their famous Chie Dango. The dango was large, and they poured sweet miso sauce on it after I ordered. The dango was chewy, and the combination of sweet miso sauce and the fragrant aroma was incredibly delicious! It was so good that I even considered getting a second one haha. I noticed that there was a charcoal grill at the neighboring table, so it seems like they also offer grilled dishes. The view was great, and being in the pine forest, it was a relaxing place where you could lose track of time. It was really wonderful! Thank you for the meal!

It was just lunchtime, so I had lunch here. It's dog-friendly! In the past, there used to be a lot of clams around here, but now they are not so easy to find. However, I still enjoyed a delicious meal of clam rice, wisdom dumplings, and black fish cake. It was tasty!

I ordered the clam rice bowl and black fish cake at this restaurant located on the way from Amanohashidate Station on the Miyazu Tango Railway to Amanohashidate. I had visited this place before, but it was a long time since my last visit. A few minutes after ordering, the clam rice bowl arrived, followed by the black fish cake. The clam rice bowl was filled with plenty of clams, just as it looked. The black fish cake was also plump and delicious.

During a visit to Amanohashidate in September 2022, around 1:00 PM on a Sunday, the restaurant was about 70% full. I decided to try the famous clam rice bowl. When it arrived, it looked different from what I had imagined - it was more like a tea-infused rice bowl with plenty of clam broth. Despite the initial surprise, it was absolutely delicious. The bowl was filled with large clams that exuded a rich clam flavor. The price was reasonable at 1,100 yen, which included soba noodles. Amanohashidate has some tasty specialties, and this was definitely one of them.

I visited for lunch while at the beach. I was able to sit at the outdoor terrace table while still wet. I ordered oden, yakitori, frankfurters, and yakisoba. I enjoyed them with a cold beer. Eating yakisoba at the beach is really delicious! I had a great time enjoying summer!

Miyazu City, Amanohashidate, Hashidate Chaya, ordered clam udon for 830 yen. During the Bon holiday, my family and I went to Amanohashidate for a beach trip. We left our house in Osaka at 5 am and arrived before 7 am, ready to enjoy Amanohashidate beach to the fullest! Hashidate Chaya is a place that offers a calm atmosphere and serves light meals, not like a typical beach house. The prices are very reasonable, which is great. We ended up ordering a lot of food. Eating lunch by the sea is always so delicious. We discovered a unique udon dish, clam udon. It seemed interesting so we decided to try it. The udon was filled with plenty of clams, and the combination of clam broth and udon broth was a luxurious treat to enjoy by the sea. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal. Restaurant Information: Address: Inside Amanohashidate beach, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture. Business Hours: Weekdays, Weekends, and Holidays 10:00-16:00 (Last order at 16:00), closed on Thursdays. It was a reasonable price, not touristy, and we had a great time making memories. Thank you very much!

A tea house where you can enjoy the luxurious location of Amanohashidate. The specialty clam rice bowl is delicious, and the soba noodles are also good. However, the service is extremely disappointing. Even when customers express that the food was delicious with a smile, the staff respond with a blank expression like "Hmm..." If they improve in this area, they would surely attract more customers.

While strolling through Amanohashidate, I was drawn to a quaint restaurant with a charming atmosphere, even though I had just eaten lunch (lol). It had the feel of a teahouse along a coastal road where travelers would stop for a break. I tried the "Wisdom Dango" for 400 yen, which seemed to have been cooked with a far-infrared brazier as there was no burnt surface, but some parts were too tough to chew (lol). The sauce was a sweet and savory miso flavor. It was a nice spot to take a break. The staff at the restaurant were friendly, making it a pleasant moment. Next time you're strolling through the pine tree avenue, be sure to stop at a teahouse for a rest! #Amanohashidate #AmanohashidateLunch #AmanohashidateGourmet #Teahouse #JapaneseFood #Dango #HashidateTeahouse #Tabelog #Foodstagram #Instafood #Japanesefood

I came to Amanohashidate and, driven by impulse, I hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was very hungry. I found a delicious-looking clam rice bowl restaurant and decided to go in. There weren't many people, maybe due to the coronavirus situation. [Order] Clam rice bowl ¥1,100 Black chikuwa ¥450 The flavor was rich and delicious. It was my first time seeing such a long chikuwa. Thank you for the meal.

I recommend the clam soup and chikuwa dumplings. We just had sushi earlier, so we shared one dumpling among the three of us. The taste was as expected, similar to a goheimochi, and it was satisfying for the price of 400 yen. I wanted to try more dishes, but I was already full. They seem to lend out portable grills, so you can also make hamaguri grilled on the grill. It's a pretty cozy restaurant. The staff were friendly and it was a really nice experience. I will definitely visit again.

I visited the restaurant around 2:00 PM by myself. The place was always almost full with customers coming and going. It was freezing cold, so I ordered the famous clam rice bowl and sweet sake. The sweet sake arrived first and warmed up my frozen body. It was revitalizing. The perilla tea in the small cup that came as a palate cleanser was incredibly delicious. The clam rice bowl had plenty of clams and was delicious with the broth. It had a gentle flavor, but the umami was strong. You could choose between cold or hot soba, but since the rice bowl and broth were piping hot, I personally recommend the cold soba.

I ate this while walking in Amanohashidate! It gets messy when you eat it, but that's part of the fun!! The miso-like sauce on the dumplings is amazing! They are big and satisfying to eat. Why does Amanohashidate make you so hungry?

I had a bowl of clam rice bowl, clam porridge, and black chikuwa. They were delicious, made with plenty of clams harvested in Amanohashidate. The clams were prepared thoroughly, so there was no sand at all. The porridge was served piping hot, similar to a boiling Sundubu-jjigae. It was served freshly made.
