    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Gofukumachi 1-4
    This restaurant is near Kikuya Yokocho, the old castle town of Hagi. The shop is outfitted with raised tatami floor seats and counter seating, and offers cuisine made with local ingredients. The Unidon Teishoku meal set features a rice bowl topped with loads of fresh Hagi-caught sea urchin with sides of local seasonal vegetable dishes, and is popular for its hefty volume. Their Sansai no Kamameshi Teishoku meal set features local rice cooked in clean spring water with sea urchin, turban snails, chicken, and mountain herbs. The udon is light and refreshing, finished with slices of local natsumikan summer citrus, making it perfect for a quick bite during your castle town stroll. With advance reservations you can also try home-style dishes like Itokoni (chilled clear soup containing shiratama-dango sticky rice flour dumplings and azuki beans), and Noppe Jiru country stew made with vegetables and chicken.

    地元食材の豚カツ定食を注文しましたが、肉の厚さ、ご飯の量がお上品な方向きで足りなかったです。女性や高齢の方にはちょうどいいのかも。食欲旺盛な方には不十分です。もう少し肉の厚みがあるとうれしい限り。観光客相手のお店だからボリュームは期待してはいけないのかも。

    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi
    "This seafood restaurant is inside Roadside Station Hagi Seamart. There is a seafood market connected to the facility, meaning they have access to the freshest fish and more. Their Gokujo Akaunidon rice bowl features lavish servings of red sea urchin, sometimes called the ""phantom urchin"" for its rarity, and is only available from May to October. The elegant sweetness fills your mouth with every bite of this decadent dish! The shop's most popular dish since its founding, though, is the Kihagi Special (seafood rice bowl), which features loads of locally caught fish with a house-made sauce that brings out their natural flavor."

    道の駅「萩しーまーと」にあるレストラン。「来萩スペシャル」という海鮮丼を頼みました。どの魚も新鮮さがあり、甘い醤油と合って美味しかったです。ふぐフライも単品で頼みました。こちらも肉厚でとても美味しかったです!他の料理もとても美味しそうでした。ここはお勧めできるレストランです。

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
