    Yamaguchi Pref. Hagishi Hijiwara 370-71
    Hagi Shinkai is a restaurant next to Hagi Bridge specializing in Fugu (Pufferfish) and fresh fish from the restaurant’s own fish-tanks; the restaurant building, which resembles a white lighthouse, is very distinctive. Inside, the restaurant has the finest fish-tanks in Yamaguchi Prefecture, with squid, stonefish, flounder and other local fish species swimming around vigorously. Hagi Shinkai is famous for its squid dishes (made using squid from the restaurant’s own tanks), which have an exquisite flavor that permeates every mouthful; for these dishes, the squid is ultra-fresh, not being taken out of the tank until immediately before the dish is prepared. The Fugu (Pufferfish) set meal, which is available in the winter months, and the flounder set meal available in the summer months, need to be booked in advance.

    Fair warning the staff does not speak English nor do they have an English menu. It does help to know some Japanese phrases or at least be quick with google translate. The staff is fantastic and...

    他のレストランより営業時間が長かったので、夕方訪ねた時に唯一入ることができて、目当ての海鮮丼を食べることができた。夕方だったせいか誰もおらずゆっくりと食事をすることができた。海鮮丼はもちろん新鮮で美味だった。

    萩市の最終日、この日のうちに山口宇部空港に行き東京に帰らなければいかないので、お昼は小泉元首相も食べたという「一味真御膳」にした。ご主人は拝見したところちょっと怖そうな感じだったが、話しかけてみるとよくしゃべってくれた。萩市から新作料理を頼まれて検討中とのこと、会席料理にこだわりがある様子。1-3月ののどぐろの煮つけ、2-4月のオコゼ、肝がうまい、4-5月の鴨島の蛤、また秋のズワイガニも美味しい...

    山口に住む友人と来ました。 彼女も友人から勧められて初めて来るそうです。刺身に煮魚のついた豪華な定食。 煮魚は煮付けてはありますが醤油の味に負けないしっかりとした魚のお味。 お刺身の歯応えもたまりません! また山口に行ったら行きたいです。

    Yamaguchi Hagi-shi Imafuruhagimachi 8
    This restaurant is known for its hearty fisherman's cuisine and the cheerful shop mistress. The interior has a surprisingly home-like, familiar atmosphere, which is perfect for enjoying their locally sourced seafood dishes. Their most popular dish is the Unidon Teishoku, featuring a whole box of raw sea urchin over rice. It's an extravagant meal set, with a sashimi platter of treats like yellowtail amberjack, squid, octopus, and more, and small side dishes and miso soup. Other delights you'll want to eat every day include the Amadai no Misoyaki Teishoku meal set with miso-roasted tilefish, or the old stand-by Sashimi Teishoku meal set. There are plenty of regulars and tourists who come by just to enjoy a talk with the mistress, as well!

    お昼のランチで利用しました。他の方の口コミにある通り、メニューにお値段の表示がなくて不安なまま2人で雲丹丼と海鮮丼を注文しました。雲丹丼3600円、海鮮丼2600円ぐらいだったかな?単純にコスパを求める人には向かないと思いますが、女将さんと萩の町のことやら海産物の薀蓄やらを聞きながらというのは悪くなかったです。

    不漁のため、イカの活け造りはないとのことでしたが,キャンセルがあり声をかけてもらいました。家族めせっかく来たのに、食べられないと思っていたので、ラッキーでした。 活け作りは本当に美味しくて、あまりは天ぷらにしてもらえて、子ども達も大喜びでした。店員さんも感じが良く親切でした。また行きたいとおもいます。

    地魚と地酒が豊富、と言う事で、同じホテルに宿泊していた事もあり、今日は楽しく飲もうと楽しみに来店しました。まず、受付で時間が掛かりますが、と上から目線で対応。開店直後に来店し、まだ、仕込中の札はそのまま。でも客は結構入っている。いくらなんでも1時間は掛からないだろう、と思い、了解して入店。しかし、ビールは来たが、何も来ず、声掛けもなく、1時間15分、入浴の時間もあるので、退席しました。受付でもう作...

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.
