My family went on a drive to Miyazu and Amanohashidate in Tango to eat "ika-don" (squid rice bowl). By mid-September, the type of squid changes from surumeika (swordtip squid) to aoriika. On this day, the "ika-don" was made with aoriika. The large serving of "ika-don" costs the same, but you can choose between a large serving of just the squid or a large serving of both squid and rice. My wife and daughter chose a large serving of just the squid, while I opted for a large serving of both squid and rice. The portions looked quite different, but both were generously filled with squid. The taste was undeniably delicious! The sticky and sweet flavor of the aoriika paired well with soy sauce and egg yolk. The boiled squid tentacles had a crispy texture and great flavor! I believe squid tentacles are a must-have. Additionally, using grated ginger instead of wasabi as a condiment was a nice touch! Despite the generous portion, we finished everything without a trace. The clam soup that came with it was also delicious. The service when making a reservation and using the parking lot was very pleasant, making it a completely satisfying lunch. I will definitely make reservations and visit regularly! Thank you for the meal.

I wasn't expecting much, but the clam udon was surprisingly delicious! It was great that we could drink tea for free, which was much appreciated on a hot day. I really wanted to try the squid that requires a reservation, but I was completely satisfied with the seafood bowl. I definitely want to go back!

When I called on the day to make a reservation for the squid bowl I wanted the day before, they said it was okay if it was an hour before. The restaurant was located in a touristy area near the cable car station. The 2000 yen squid bowl was neither good nor bad. However, the clam soup was incredibly delicious. Maybe I should have ordered the clam bowl instead.

When I visited this restaurant that had been checked off as a must-visit for tourists in Amanohashidate, I made a reservation in advance. It was around 2:00 PM on a Saturday, and there were 15 customers already inside the restaurant, but no one else arrived after us, so we ended up being the only customers. We ordered the seasonal squid deluxe rice bowl (2,000 yen), a medium-sized draft beer (570 yen), and simmered clams (300 yen). The draft beer arrived after a short wait, followed by the squid bowl and simmered clams. The luxurious squid bowl was filled with plenty of white squid, which was tender and sweet, indicating its freshness. The boiled squid legs had a satisfying crunch to them and were also delicious. The staff reminded us to pour the soy sauce little by little, but we forgot and poured it all at once, which was quite amusing. Crushing the toppings of chopped seaweed, green onions, and egg yolk and mixing them with the squid added a mildness to the dish, enhancing its deliciousness. The miso soup contained three clams, seaweed, and green onions, with a gentle and flavorful broth. The simmered clams we ordered as a snack had a sweet and savory flavor that paired well with alcohol. I thoroughly enjoyed the squid bowl that had been on my checklist for over 10 years. Thank you for the delicious meal! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Delicious! So tasty! This restaurant has a nostalgic feel, which adds to the experience of being in a tourist destination. They offered free parking for customers dining in. The young staff member was very friendly and welcoming. The view from the window of the snow-covered landscape and the sea was amazing. I had made a reservation over the phone for the large portion squid bowl for 2500 yen and the yellowtail shabu-shabu set for 3500 yen. Although a bit pricey, the taste was worth it. The squid was chewy and flavorful, and the yellowtail shabu-shabu had no fishy taste, just a sweet flavor. The slices were thick and delicious. The set also came with yellowtail and squid sashimi, which was very satisfying. Absolutely no complaints! I felt so happy. It would be nice if they also served warm tea instead of just water. I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

We had planned to visit Amanohashidate for a three-day weekend in September, but it was postponed by a month due to a typhoon. For lunch, we reserved a luxurious squid bowl at this restaurant on the Matsubayashi Park side. I opted for the large serving, while my wife chose the regular size. The squid used in the dish was locally caught, and during this season, they use Japanese flying squid. I chose the large serving with only squid, and we were seated at a table with a good view outside. As we waited, we enjoyed the sight of Amanohashidate until our squid bowls arrived. The large serving contained 1.5 portions of squid, making it quite filling. The chewy texture of boiled squid tentacles and the moist sashimi mixed with egg were delightful. The rice was not vinegared, which felt a bit odd at first, but after adding soy sauce and mixing it with the egg, it turned out to be the right choice. The miso soup contained clams, which seemed to be another specialty. We arrived by car on the day of our visit, and we were told that we could leave our car parked even after the meal if we had made a reservation. The price of the squid bowl seemed a bit high for a tourist spot, but considering the half-day parking fee included, it seemed like a reasonable price.

Yoshinoya, a shop located in front of the Fusaka station that leads to the cable car lift to the "Amanohashidate" in Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture, one of Japan's three scenic views. The shop was established as a souvenir shop in 1929, before the cable car was even available, and is now run by the third generation. Starting from bento boxes, they now offer a variety of dishes, with the first floor serving as a souvenir shop and the second floor as a seafood-focused dining area. Amanohashidate, overlooking the Aso Sea on one side and the Miyazu Bay on the other, has been a town abundant in fishing since ancient times. From spring to summer, you can enjoy delicacies such as swordtip squids, large clams, rock oysters, and from autumn to winter, Japanese flying squids, yellowtail, snow crabs, red clams, and white clams, among others. The shop is known for its luxurious "Squid Bowl" made with seasonal local squids. I visited Amanohashidate for sightseeing, but I also wanted to enjoy delicious seafood since I had come all this way. This shop offers the famous "Squid Bowl" made with locally caught squids, and it is recommended to make a reservation by 8 pm the day before (same-day reservations are also possible). I made a reservation four days in advance and visited the shop. The Squid Bowl was the main attraction, so I made a reservation for it. The shop is about a 45-minute walk from the Amanohashidate station, quite far. I drove there this time, and when you make a reservation, you can use the shop's parking lot for free and secure a spot. The souvenir shop opens at 8 am, while the dining area opens at 11 am. I made a reservation for 11 am this time. The shop seems to operate with a limited number of seats, as only about 30-40% of the seats were occupied by those who had made reservations by this time, while walk-in customers were turned away due to full occupancy. I visited the shop with one companion. We decided to share the Squid Bowl, and also ordered the "Special Set" which came with a clam rice bowl, a mini Tamba black bean soba, and the seasonal limited item from Ine, the "Summer Jewel" oysters. The prices are all inclusive of tax. The "Summer Jewel" oysters were priced at 1500 yen, and the plump, large pieces were cut into three parts for easy eating. The tender texture was melt-in-your-mouth, and the richness of the flavor and aroma was surprisingly intense. It was the most delicious raw oyster I had ever eaten, and I was truly impressed. The "Luxurious Squid Bowl" priced at 1800 yen uses only locally caught squids, with white squids in the summer and Japanese flying squids from autumn onwards. The white squids are a local name for swordtip squids, which are called white squids in Tango because they turn white when caught. The thinly sliced sashimi and boiled tentacles were piled high, topped with egg yolk. The sashimi had a slightly chewy texture, yet melted in the mouth, overflowing with sweetness as you chew, surprising me with the sweetness and umami of the squids. The soy sauce complemented the sweetness and umami of the squids perfectly, and the boiled tentacles had a pleasantly chewy texture. The creamy and rich egg yolk, along with the refreshing ginger, made for a great flavor combination. The miso soup was unexpectedly flavorful and delicious. The "Special Set" priced at 1300 yen included a clam rice bowl, a local specialty made with plenty of locally sourced clams in a bowl of scrambled eggs, and a Tamba black bean soba with Tamba black beans kneaded in. The clams were plump and firm, with a rich clam broth that enhanced the flavor. The Tamba black bean soba was very aromatic and delicious. It was a very satisfying lunch. After this, we had planned to visit another famous place in Miyazu for curry yakisoba, but we were so satisfied with this shop that we ended up just having some light sweets. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The white squid was sold out so I had the clam rice bowl instead, which was light and tasty with a flavorful broth. (Maybe it was just by chance, but I noticed a few times that I bit into some sand which was a bit of a downside). The restaurant is located in a tourist area and the interior is old, but it was clean and well-maintained with thorough disinfection after each customer left.

The squid sashimi and boiled squid tentacles were piled high on the squid bowl, and it was so delicious and satisfying. I didn't know that reservations were required the day before, but they were able to prepare it for me because they had squid available. Thank you very much. The clam rice bowl with the creamy scrambled egg topping inside was also delicious.

I ordered the extravagant squid bowl in large and regular sizes, but even the regular size had plenty of squid on top! The squid steak was delicious even when grilled - it had a nice shape! I enjoyed it with Amanohashidate Premium Beer and another drink (I forgot the name), creating the best memories of our trip. Apparently, there was a TV coverage the day before we visited, so there were many celebrity signatures on display.

I had clam simmered in soy sauce and luxurious squid rice bowl, both of which were incredibly delicious. The luxurious squid rice bowl was especially amazing, with the squid tasting so good that it made me realize just how delicious squid can be. Cheers to the seafood of Miyazu, paired with local sake.

【Visit on December 10, 2021】I had the seasonal luxurious squid rice bowl at a long-established shop in front of Cable Station! The visually impressive "luxurious squid rice bowl" is a specialty dish. From spring to autumn, it uses white squid, and from autumn to spring, it uses Japanese flying squid, allowing you to enjoy freshly caught squid all year round. - Specialty!

I went to have lunch at Yoshino-ya. I called ahead and reserved the "shiraika" (white squid) as recommended before taking the lift at Amanohashidate View Land. We ordered for 3 people. -------------------------------------------- ☆Shiraika Set ¥1800 - Shiraika Donburi (rice bowl with white squid) - Soup - Pickles -------------------------------------------- ☆Seafood Donburi ¥1600 - Seafood Donburi - Soup - Pickles -------------------------------------------- ☆Special Set ¥1300 - Asari (clam) Donburi - Mini Tanba black bean soba noodles - Pickles -------------------------------------------- We were lucky that they had the "shiraika" that day. The donburi had plenty of fresh white squid sashimi and boiled squid legs. We enjoyed it by adding soy sauce, sprinkling seaweed, and breaking the egg yolk. It was my first time having so much "shiraika" and I was very satisfied. We also enjoyed the seafood donburi and clam donburi. The staff kindly suggested we could leave our car in the parking lot if we wanted to explore the area around the restaurant. So, we took the opportunity to visit the hometown of Ise Jingu, Moto-Ise Kogami Shrine. We had a great time with the shiraika donburi, seafood donburi, and clam donburi. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited "Yoshinoya" in Oogaki, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture. It is located near the Fuchu Station of the Amanohashidate Cable Car (Amanohashidate Ropeway). The first floor is a souvenir shop, and the second floor is a dining area. The menu includes dishes such as clam and black bean soba, local seafood bowl, seasonal squid luxury bowl, seafood bowl, and clam udon. I tried the clam udon, which was warm and delicious with plenty of clams, seaweed, and green onions in a clear broth. The restaurant also offers various other dishes. The address is 48 Oogaki, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture. Phone number: 0772-27-0125. Opening hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed on: No regular holidays. Parking is available. For more information, please check the official website. Visit the blog of the 4th generation silly son of the Kobe safe dealer for more details.

The squid bowl was originally by reservation only, but they had enough for 3 people. Even though there were 4 of us, we ordered 3 bowls. It was lucky that we saw it on the Food Kingdom TV show a few days ago. It seemed like the peak season had passed, but it was still delicious with a chewy texture and sweetness.

Before getting on the cable car, we had lunch at "Yoshinoya" on the second day of our trip to Miyazu. It's a classic itinerary to visit Amanohashidate Winery and then take the cable car to enjoy the view. We made a reservation the day before at "Yoshinoya," a restaurant that has caught our attention since our previous visit to Miyazu. It has a parking lot, which is convenient. The first floor is a souvenir shop, and the second floor is a dining area. It seems popular among tour groups. They also have tatami seating, making it family-friendly. The highlight was the Aoriika (bigfin reef squid) bowl priced at 1800 yen. You need to reserve in advance, as it may not always be available. The bowl comes with miso soup with clams. The contrast of white and yellow in the squid bowl is beautiful. Mixing the ginger soy sauce and egg yolk generously adds to the experience. The squid is tender and sweet, with a nice texture to the tentacles. It was a satisfying meal. After that, we took the cable car to the top and enjoyed the view.

Hanoka sightings (laughs) IN Kyoto "Shiro-ika," the sword-tip squid, is in season now! I went there again this year ✋ If you want to enjoy the restaurant Shiro-ika located near the Fukuchu station of the Amanohashidate Ropeway, you must make a reservation in advance. Shiro-ika Deluxe Bowl (large) ¥2000, Local Seafood Bowl ¥2300, Shiro-ika Steak ¥1600, Fresh Oysters ¥1200 ( ´艸｀) This is it ❣ The chewy squid is so sweet ✨ Enjoying the seasonal flavors of the sea and local produce is the essence of adult travel. While eating, suddenly dark clouds covered the sky, followed by thunder and heavy rain ☔ This area has such unpredictable weather that they say, "Don't forget your umbrella even if you forget your lunchbox!" But by the time we finished eating, the rain had stopped, and once again, the sun was shining ☀ Yay───ヽ(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)ﾉ───イ

Located right in front of the cable car station, this restaurant offers a nice view of Amanohashidate. I visited around 2pm on a weekday and there were still quite a few customers. I ordered a set meal with clam rice bowl and soba noodles. The soba noodles were average, but the clam rice bowl was gentle on the stomach and delicious.

In winter, it's all about the delicious buri in Kyoto, but in summer, you must try the exquisite "white jewel" from Miyazu! Known as the white squid, this swordtip squid turns white as soon as it is caught and is highly prized alongside the common squid. With our love for squid, my husband and I visited this place and were not disappointed. Despite the rainy weather on the way, it cleared up when we arrived at Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three scenic views. At the entrance to the ropeway in Umamatsu Park, there is a cafeteria on the second floor of a souvenir shop. Although it looks like a casual eatery, you can only enjoy the swordtip squid by reservation. We indulged in the following dishes: - White squid steak for ¥1480 - Luxurious white squid bowl for ¥1880 - Local seafood bowl with fish caught from the nearby sea and Tanba black beans soba set for ¥2160 Although we had decided not to drink, we couldn't resist the sight of the pure white squid and ended up enjoying a ladies' drinking party with beer and local sake. The white squid can be enjoyed raw or grilled to your liking. Its half-raw texture and sweetness are irresistible, and it can be seasoned with salt, lemon juice, mayonnaise, or soy sauce. The combination of raw squid, blanched squid, and soft-boiled egg with ginger in the bowl is simply divine. The seafood bowl included clam, yellowtail, squid, and salmon roe, topped with sweet shrimp. It was the ultimate feast. The feeling of superiority from being able to eat by reservation only added to the luxurious experience. It was truly a moment of bliss.

At the cable car station where you can enjoy Amanohashidate from the summit, there is a souvenir shop typical of tourist destinations. And a second-floor restaurant that seems to be popular with tour groups. But unexpectedly, in this place, there was Ikaparadise ♫ Now is the peak season for white squid (swordtip squid)!! You can get freshly caught squid steak and squid bowl (a large portion on a hot plate) that only those with reservations can enjoy. Fresh squid that can also be served as sashimi, quickly grilled to your liking with mayonnaise soy sauce or lemon salt. Yum!! The bowl has sashimi and boiled squid legs, with the perfect texture and ginger broth, topped with a runny yolk... Oh, I'm drooling. It's so delicious that I, a squid lover, am in ecstasy. Devoured the steak and large portion squid bowl (laughs). The shared seafood bowl was also incredibly fresh and delicious! It even had rare shrimp and giant shrimp (which changes daily based on the supply). Considering all this food and drinks (beer and sake), it's shocking that it only costs around 3,000 yen per person. Thank you for the feast!

From the window seat here, you can see Amanohashidate. I ordered a seafood bowl and udon set, but I was curious about the black soybean soba. When I asked the staff, they said I could change it for just 100 yen more, so I tried it. The seafood bowl was delicious, but not particularly fresh. The black soybean soba, on the other hand, was very tasty with a unique aroma. I also tried a bit of my friend's clam bowl, which was prepared with the shells removed and had a gentle, egg-topped flavor. It was really delicious. Many places were promoting clam bowls, but now I understand why.
