On the second day of the latter half of Golden Week, we visited Miyazu and Maizuru via Fukuchiyama in Kyoto Prefecture. We wanted to have lunch with fresh seasonal oysters and seafood, so we searched online and found a restaurant called Maizuru Port Fisherman's Hut. The restaurant seemed to be popular among locals rather than tourists, which intrigued us. The last order for lunch was at 3:00 PM, so despite the busy Golden Week period and the confusing time in Maizuru, we managed to arrive around 1:30 PM. However, the restaurant was already full, with a waiting list of 10 groups. We were told that even if we made a reservation now, it would take over 30 minutes. We decided to wait in the parking lot while waiting for a spot to open up. Eventually, we received a call around 2:30 PM, and we were able to park our car. We ordered the Fisherman's Hut Set Meal (tax excluded 1480 yen) and the Fisherman's Hut Donburi (tax excluded 1980 yen). The food was delicious, and my husband, who is not a fan of waiting in crowded places, was delighted with the fresh oysters he had been craving. The sashimi was fresh and plentiful. The staff apologized for the wait multiple times, but their attentive service made us feel relaxed and enjoy our time at the restaurant. I posted a photo of the large oysters on Facebook, and my friend immediately commented on how surprised they were by the size. I would love to visit this restaurant again during the oyster season, this time with a reservation in advance.

During a break from fishing in Miyazu, I decided to have lunch. I had high expectations since I had been to Sakana Terrace before and thought I could enjoy fresh seafood. I ordered the salmon and salmon roe parent-child bowl. The salmon and salmon roe were much fresher and more delicious than I had imagined. However, I was a bit bothered by the slow service even though the restaurant was not full. It seemed like there were some unnecessary operations. Despite this, since there aren't many other appealing dining options nearby, I may visit again in the future.

I wanted to eat rock oysters, so I made a reservation at a fisherman's hut in Nishi-Maizuru that is known for being delicious. The parking lot is located in front of the store. When I arrived on a Sunday at opening time, the place was fully booked with reservations, and the customers waiting in line couldn't get in, which was a bit unfortunate. The restaurant is small with counter and table seats, as well as a second floor. You have to take off your shoes and put them in the shoebox. I heard that this place is affiliated with Sakana Terrace. I wanted to try Sakana Terrace as well. I started with a beer. It was delicious! The beer here is really good! I usually like to try different drinks for my second round, but the beer here was so good that I didn't feel the need to switch. The foam was fine and creamy. "1 Rock Oyster" ¥1200, "Sashimi Platter for 2" ¥1980, "Recommended Simmered Dish" ¥880, "Dashimaki Tamago" ¥550, "1 Turban Shell Grilled in a Pot" ¥300, "Salt-Grilled Shrimp" ¥780, "Draft Beer" ¥550, "Highball" ¥550. The rock oyster I've been wanting to try was huge! I've seen rock oysters at Toretore before, but this one was big. It was creamy and delicious. Just one was quite filling. The seared golden eye on the sashimi platter was incredibly tasty. The simmered dish, I forgot what fish it was, but it was fluffy and delicious. Everything was delicious. The prices were reasonable too. They had run out of clams that day, so I definitely want to come back to try them next time. Thank you for the meal!

Today, on the way to the Japan Sea side of Kyoto, I had a seafood lunch. The restaurant was a stylish place with a traditional Japanese house design, where you had to take off your shoes at the entrance and enter. I ordered the Fisherman's Hut set meal for 1580 yen and the Fisherman's Hut bowl for 2180 yen. The set meal arrived quickly and it was a great deal with a variety of dishes including sashimi, simmered fish, fried food, and small side dishes, all of which were delicious. The sashimi was particularly fresh and had a nice texture. The seafood bowl was also delicious with a variety of sashimi on top. I enjoyed a bottle of beer as well. There was a parking lot right in front of the restaurant.

Visited on April 20, 2023, at 7:00 PM. I made a reservation by phone the day before at "Fisherman's Hut," known for serving fresh and delicious dishes mainly using locally caught seafood in Maizuru. I had been in Maizuru for three days after moving from Fukui City, and this day was the first day I could post without revealing that I use Tabelog. Unfortunately, I couldn't take photos because I was dining with business associates. Starting my rehabilitation in earnest today, I walked from the hotel at a leisurely pace, taking about 20 minutes to cover a kilometer, like a five-year-old child, with breaks in between. It was quite a distance, so my legs were sore, but I'm happy to be able to post again. For drinks, I had a glass of draft beer (Asahi Premium Jukusen) for ¥550 and then a cold sake (Miyasaka) for ¥640. For food, I had the following recommended dishes: "Maizuru-produced!! Extra-large Rock Oysters" for ¥1,200, which were incredibly delicious but disappeared in one bite. The "Sashimi Assortment for One" for ¥1,080 included bonito, tuna, salmon, sea bream, and flounder. While I was hoping for local specialties, the taste was good. The "Raw Botan Shrimp" for ¥980 was small and button-like, sweet and sticky, and came with fried heads, making it a recommended dish. The "Extra-Thick! Swordfish Simmered" for ¥1,300 was recommended when I was considering having simmered fish. The staff explained that there were larger fish available that day, and the swordfish was a good alternative. The simmered swordfish was delicious. I also ordered the "Simmered Fish Head" for ¥680, as it was the only option besides swordfish for solo diners. It turned out to be a hit, with thick simmered sea bream heads providing a satisfying and delicious meal. Lastly, I had the "Specialty of Fisherman's Hut! Tango Bara Sushi" for ¥680, a vinegar rice topped with minced mackerel, which was also delicious. The cost performance was a bit questionable, but the taste was undeniably great. Thank you for the meal.

Personal thoughts. At first glance, the seafood bowl looks luxurious, but the ingredients are old and thin. There isn't much oil on it either. It just tastes like soy sauce. Also, the way it's served is not easy to eat, so I wouldn't come back to this place for a repeat visit. If it wasn't near the fishing port, I don't think I would come to this restaurant.

I pushed myself a bit for a day trip on my bike and made it to Maizuru, so I decided to visit a restaurant to eat some fish. When I asked about the grilled fish of the day, they recommended horse mackerel. I was hesitant, but I ordered it and it turned out to be the best horse mackerel I've ever had in my life. I didn't drink sake since I was driving, but I was satisfied with a non-alcoholic lemon sour. If you come to Maizuru, be sure to try the fish at this restaurant.

In Nishimatsuru, if you're looking for a local seafood izakaya, this place is highly recommended. Their dashimaki tamago is incredibly delicious and hard to reserve, so I suggest calling a few days in advance. The steamed oysters were also delicious. Next year, I'd like to visit their trendy sister restaurant, Osakana Terrace too.

I visited a restaurant called "Fisherman's Hut" in Maizuru City, Fukui Prefecture because the name caught my attention. I ordered the Fisherman's Hut Donburi set. It was honestly just like a regular seafood bowl, but it was delicious. Personally, I thought I should have ordered the grilled fish set instead. Since it's also an izakaya, the menu is quite extensive, so I would like to visit at night next time when I have the chance.

●●Waiting Situation●● I visited around 8pm on a weekday! The restaurant was almost full, but I was seated right away. ●●Order●● I ordered the "Assorted Sashimi," "Seafood Yukhoe," "Seafood Salad," "Squid Tempura," and "Red Miso Soup." Follow me on Instagram → @pukchan_ramen ●●Food●● The sashimi was especially delicious!! Honestly, I didn't expect sashimi this good to be served here! It's understandable why this place is bustling while others are quiet. ●●Overall Impression●● It was a super delicious seafood izakaya! Maizuru is a nice place. Thank you for the meal!

I enjoyed Maizuru for the first time! The restaurant had a good vibe from the first sashimi! Tanba, keep up the good work! It's a one-hour drive by car. - Sashimi assortment: sea bream, houbou, tuna, horse mackerel, and sea bass. All of them were fresh and delicious! The white fish was aged and tasty! The tuna was also delicious, with a nice fatty texture! - Grilled pickled fish: This was my favorite! The flavor is intense! I want to buy it and eat it at home...! - Grilled goby: The flesh was tender and thick, very delicious! - Fish liver simmered: A simmered dish made with various fish livers. This is dangerous. It goes well with Japanese sake and is dangerously delicious. - Handmade horse mackerel fry: The flesh was incredibly tender! It goes well with lemon, sauce, and tartar sauce! Personally, I think the tartar sauce is fantastic. - Scallop and lemon sauté: Baby scallops cooked lightly. - Shirasu and shiso mixed rice: This is really delicious. I want other restaurants to imitate this. Recommended dishes: Sashimi assortment, grilled pickled fish, shirasu and shiso mixed rice. - Restaurant name: Maizuru Port Fisherman's Hut - Address: 56 Hon, Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture - Phone number: 090 9285 5422

I visited this restaurant based on a recommendation from an acquaintance, looking forward to enjoying delicious fish and sake. The menu mainly features local ingredients. We had a sashimi platter, fried firefly squid, local mud shrimp, shirako with ponzu sauce, and fresh seasonal rock oysters. Everything was fresh and delicious! The beef tendon grilled dish also paired well with the sake. The local sake matched the dishes perfectly. This is a great place for those who enjoy fish and sake. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I chose the Yukke bowl, fatty grilled mackerel, and fried horse mackerel. The fatty grilled mackerel was just average, but the Yukke bowl was absolutely amazing. While others ordered seafood bowls and fisherman's set meals, I am confident that mine had the best value and taste. The restaurant is located in a renovated old house, which is small but has a nice atmosphere. The tables are sunken kotatsu style, and there are electric carpets at the feet for warmth.

I chose Yukke-don, Torohokke, and Zuri Karaage. The Torohokke was average, but the Yukke-don was excellent. I ordered Ajitataki and fresh oysters. They paired perfectly with shochu. The freshness was outstanding. The sweet corn tempura was also delicious. The level of quality in Maizuru is truly impressive. I had high expectations for the restaurant, and I can confidently say that it had the best cost performance and taste.

I stayed in Maizuru city and found this restaurant through this site. It was the right choice. The rock oysters were big and had a melt-in-your-mouth texture, they were amazing. I also enjoyed the nodoguro, heshiko, and ankimo, all delicious. Of course, we paired everything with local sake. The surrounding shopping streets seemed quiet, but this restaurant was full of energy.

We stopped by on our way to Amanohashidate. You can enjoy fresh seafood, especially super large rock oysters and Tango cockles, caught in Maizuru. They also have a selection of 30 types of Japanese sake. On this day, we had seafood dishes on the second floor in a private-like setting.

✔️Kyoto Maizuru ✔️Maizuru Port Fisherman's Hut------------------------------------------------Kyoto Gourmet x Maizuru DinnerLocated in the Nishi-Maizuru area, this restaurant offers fresh seafood and local sake. I dined alone at the counter and ordered the assorted sashimi (¥980) and seafood yukhoe (¥880). The variety of seafood dishes, from seasonal fish to classics, was impressive. While the cost performance isn't extremely high, the abundance of seafood options is exciting! Grilled dishes, simmered dishes, sashimi, fried dishes, and more - just looking at the menu will make you feel thrilled. Afterwards, I visited the nearby public bath, which exuded a nostalgic charm that is rare to find nowadays. I recommend this as a set when traveling to the Maizuru area.

I extended my journey a bit and visited for lunch. It was almost full during lunchtime. I ordered the lunch set and had to wait quite a bit before it was served. It seems they make the dishes in the order the orders are placed. There are various options and they all look good. They are all warm and delicious, so the wait was worth it. Especially the simmered mackerel, kawahagi sashimi, and shrimp fry were delicious. I will come back when I have time to spare. It was my last visit during a final drive to this place for parking rotation.

I went to Nishi-Maizuru Station in search of rock oysters. The pedestrian traffic was low, but I arrived at a splendid shopping street after a 15-minute walk. There was no line, so I entered the store smoothly, but it was already 8 minutes wait. Nevertheless, being alone, I settled in the corner of the counter. The large TV placed 30 centimeters in front of me was a bit distracting. It was past 11:30 am. I ordered rock oysters and a fisherman's hut set meal, and asked for a bottle of beer first. As I sipped on my beer, I waited. It was slow. However, it wasn't a busy lunchtime, so I wasn't too bothered. My heart was at peace with the anticipation of delicious food. But on the TV in front of me, Emiko Kaminuma was talking animatedly, with foam at the corners of her mouth. She was in close-up the whole time. I don't want this as a beer snack. After 20 minutes, the fisherman's hut set meal arrived. The simmered fish was bonito, and the sashimi platter had bonito, tuna, and sea bream. The simmered fish had a rich flavor, perfect as a side dish for rice. It also went well with the beer. I ordered a second beer. I slightly regretted spending most of the first one on Kaminuma. The rock oysters arrived late. The flesh was cut into five pieces, and each piece was quite large. I carefully picked up the soft flesh with chopsticks, dipped it in soy sauce, and took a bite. Ohhh, what a texture. It was a solid so close to liquid, more like sea milk than sea tofu. When topped with wasabi, it was truly like sea tofu sashimi. Initially, the soy sauce flavor overpowered the oyster's taste, but eventually, the oyster's flavor and sea aroma spread in my mouth. Ahhh, it's amazing. It's completely different from raw oysters, the creaminess is incredible. However, on the edge of this rock oyster, there was a slightly crunchy part that reminded me of the delicious burnt rice at the bottom of a pot, and I wanted to savor it more. I really enjoyed the fisherman's hut set meal and the rock oysters. Thank you for the meal, I will come back again.

I came to Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture to eat clams, Pan Taifu♪ I made a reservation at a popular local izakaya and of course, I reserved the clams I came for♪ It's about a 10-minute walk from the station, through an arcade street with few people but lots of cars zooming by. The izakaya was located there and it was already packed. Thank goodness I made a reservation! The person next to me was told they were sold out of clams...I'm glad I made a reservation! The clams were chewy and the milky oysters were delicious in a battle of the best of the sea. Definitely worth making a reservation to try these! Mission accomplished! Now it's just about drinking and eating. The homemade lightly pickled mackerel was also amazing! It was almost raw, as advertised, with a perfect balance of flavors. The grilled dishes were all delicious and paired well with the sake. Just as expected in sake country Kyoto, the quality of the small breweries (probably) is top-notch. The sake goes down smoothly. I gave up on the closing noodles and indulged in a feast! This is the life!

I went to GW without a reservation. I was seated in about 30 minutes. I was prepared for a long wait based on reviews, but individual dishes came out quickly. The sashimi was very fresh, and the fish head soup was easy to eat with hardly any leftovers. Everything was delicious.
