A well-known stone-grill restaurant at Nyudozaki on the northwest tip of Oga Peninsula. Hot stones are dropped into a wooden tub to cook fresh red sea bream in seconds, a fishermen's dish.
Located beside the Nyudozaki Lighthouse at the northwest tip of Oga Peninsula, about a 1-minute walk from Nyudozaki bus stop. Its signature is the natural red sea bream stone-grill set. Superheated stones are dropped into a wooden tub of red sea bream and miso soup, bringing it to a boil instantly, a fishermen's dish unique to Oga. Other dishes include marinated sea bream rice bowl and sea urchin rice bowl. It is open about 11:00–17:00 on irregular closing days, and it closes early once the ingredients sell out. Only cash is accepted. Phone reservations are generally needed. On days with no fresh stock, only reservation diners are served. During peak periods such as Golden Week, reservations are not taken, and guests register early on the morning of their visit. Parking is very limited. Stone-grill sets start at over 3,000 yen.
