This spot is a favorite for those looking to savor fresh sweetfish (ayu) from the Midorikawa River. Whether it's sashimi, grilled with salt, or the sophisticated flavor of uruka, each sweetfish dish is a delicacy. Visitors can enjoy their sweetfish in the relaxed atmosphere of a charming thatched-roof gazebo. During the winter months, when sweetfish are out of season, we offer a menu featuring ingredients from Kumamoto Prefecture.
