Torizo

The walls of Torizo are covered with posters of musicians, record jackets, and motorcycle photos. As you enter, you’ll hear a welcoming voice from the back of the restaurant, like being in an old record shop!
Torizo is an izakaya with a different style of fowl meat dishes. The owner, Mitsutaka Kondo, trained at the famous fowl restaurant Torinako in Fukuchiyama, and opened his own restaurant in 2013. There are elegant dishes using Kyoto-style soup stock that is full of flavor, with duck meat and green onions.

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).
