Ryotei Kagetsu
料亭 花月
A traditional ryotei founded in 1925, the most popular Muroto kinmedai rice bowl restaurant; lunch almost always requires a reservation.
A long-established ryotei founded in 1925 (Taisho 14), near Muroto-tsu Port, and the most highly rated of the Muroto kinmedai donburi partner shops. The bowl features Muroto kinmedai teriyaki and seasonal local fish sashimi. Eat the first half of the bowl as is, then pour a broth made from kinmedai bones over the rest to make chazuke (tea over rice). It is served with kinmedai clear soup, from about 1,700 yen. Lunch is often fully booked, so call at least a day ahead. There are about 80 seats, with private rooms and tatami seating, and a parking lot. It is about 80 minutes' drive from Kochi Ryoma Airport. Typhoons and sea conditions may affect operations, so please check before your trip.
