Janome Honten
A local favorite where you can enjoy Sanriku seafood at reasonable prices.
A seafood diner in Miyako, Iwate, the easternmost city on Honshu. It’s an easy walk from JR Miyako Station, and the Hei River flows nearby on its way to Miyako Bay.
Popular with locals as a well-known spot where you can fully enjoy Sanriku’s seafood at reasonable prices. The top pick is the signature “Kita-Sanriku Rice Bowl.” It’s piled high with 15 kinds of fresh toppings caught in northern Sanriku, such as sea urchin, salmon roe, tuna, sweet shrimp, horsehair crab, and abalone—so full it looks like it’s about to spill over. The “Jo Chirashi,” which lets you enjoy the same ingredients as sushi, is also recommended.
You can also try Miyako’s Sanriku specialty, “Bin-Don,” here. “Bin-Don” is seasonal Miyako seafood stored in a milk bottle together with sterilized seawater. At your table, you can pour the seafood straight from the bottle over steaming hot rice. This hands-on local rice bowl is sure to be a great travel memory.
