Kanijiman is run by a fishing enterprise, and so is able to provide carefully selected fresh crab.

    This Japanese restaurant can be identified by its distinctive crab sign, which is visible from National Route 431. The restaurant serves crab, which the area boasts the largest catches of out of anywhere in Japan; as well as a variety of other seafood. The restaurant's exquisite and hearty seafood rice bowls are topped with so many huge pieces of sashimi, you can't even see the rice underneath. Limited to just ten customers a day, on many weekend days they almost instantly sell out. The restaurant's fish, caught locally, is extremely fresh, and customers rave that here you can truly savor its innate flavor.

    水木しげるロードに行く途中に寄りました。通り沿いから見えるのですが少し入った所にありました。 駐車場はいっぱいでしたが、ちょうど駐車場が1台空き入庫。 土日は丼しかやっていないです。 お目当の海鮮丼2,310円税込を注文。 五分程で着丼。 見た目に圧巻!てんこ盛りではみ出しているではないですか! これにぶっこん亭の醤油をかけ、どこから食べて良いのか悩みながら刺身を一切れ口に頬張り、うまい! 突破口...

    "Located to the west of the Mizuki Shigeru Museum, this manju (steamed buns with sweet bean paste filling) shop is distinguished by its black willow exterior. They sell cute, about six-centimeter-tall ningyo-yaki (doll-shaped manju) in the shapes of Kitaro, Medama-Oyaji, Neko-Musume, and Nezumi-Otoko. Ningyo-yaki contains one of three standard fillings: koshian (smooth bean paste), custard, and chocolate, and in addition, there are also black vanilla with a coal-black appearance and other seasonal items, each with a different flavor. Wrapped around the yokai (specter) manju is a ""Yokai Newspaper"" filled with information about Sakaiminato area and Mizuki Shigeru Road is included, so you can enjoy yourself even after eating the manju."

    水木しげるロードで水木しげる記念館側に歩いていく途中にありました。 新しくきれいなお店です。 人に渡すお土産をここで購入しました。訪問時少し割引がありました。 饅頭と名前がついてますが人形焼きのキャラに餡などが包まれている形状です。 妖怪新聞で包まれているパッケージなどおいしく食べながら新聞も読めると 二重の楽しみがあり、なかなか面白いお土産だと思いました。
