Enjoy fresh seafood in Onomichi, facing the Seto Inland Sea, caught in the nearby waters
From the neta to the seasonings, savor all kinds of Setouchi sushi to your heart’s content.
Facing the Seto Inland Sea, Onomichi is known as a town of hilly roads, temples, and cats, but there is also a sushi shop in this town worth of respect. Sit down on the special seating at the counter, and you’ll find yourself watching the fine knife-work of the head sushi chef. The neta, the fish toppings, are mainly sourced from the Seto Inland Sea; many are firm-bodied small white fish, and you can hear the excellent judgements of the head chef regarding the glossy-skinned fish lined up before your eyes. As for the menu, we recommend a plate of Setouchi Nigiri, made with neta caught only in the sea near Onomichi. The shop uses Onomichizousu vinegar as sushi vinegar, essential for making sushi-rice, and the rice and soy sauce are also carefully selected from the area around Onomichi. Enjoy eating all kinds of sushi made in Setouchi, from the neta to the seasoning.(This information is as of April 2018)
The Setouchi Nigiri has nine pieces of sushi with seasonal neta and costs 3,000 yen. (The price is the same at lunchtime and in the evening)
Fresh seafood from Setouchi, lined up in a show-case. There are fish here that you rarely get to taste as sashimi, such as okoze and sillago.
