Totogen
Totogen was established in the early Showa era (1926-1989) in Maizuru, a location that is as competitive as it gets when it comes to fish markets. Totogen procures local seafood directly from Maizuru’s fishing port, Tsuruga, and Amino Port in Kyotango. Chef Tetsuya Oishi prepares seasonal seafood like rock oysters in summer, shore plovers in spring and autumn, and crab in winter.

Tsuruya Shokudo
Tsuruya Shokudo specializes in seafood, but also offers purple soba and ancient red rice udon. Look for the teahouse-like shop along the stone-paved street behind Motoise Kono Shrine. The restaurant also has views of Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, which is fitting, since you can order a special rice bowl that uses ingredients from Miyazu Bay (the bay on one side of Amanohashidate).

Suginoya
Suginoya is a sanuki udon (a type of udon typical of Kagawa Prefecture) specialty shop in Kyoto, on the northern edge of Amanohashidate. After 8 years of studying at a famous udon shop in Kagawa, the fourth generation owner of souvenir shop Suginoya, Masto Yamazaki, opened his own udon shop next to the souvenir shop in 2012. Even as Mr. Yamazaki adheres to the production methods, flavors, and hospitality that he learned at the Kagawa udon shop, he says he uses ingredients and seasoning from Miyazu because, in his own words, "Once I finished my studies are returned home, I felt that the chikuwa fish cakes and little jako fish are tastier here."

Cucini
Cucini is run by a chef who decided to start his own farm. He continues to further his own education in nutrition and cuisine, and also works educating children about food. His focus on showcasing local ingredients doesn’t just stop at his farm, either: chef Iwanishi sources his ingredients from a variety of local farmers, including Kyotango farmers and fishermen, eggs from Mino Chicken Farm in nearby Ine, Yoka pigs from Toyooka (in neighboring Hyogo Prefecture), Tajima chicken (also from neighboring Hyogo Prefecture), and more. The result is cuisine with deep local flavor, ethical thinking, and close to zero carbon footprint from the food, which is good for the environment as well.
