Ryori Sakai

Ryori Sakai is near the mouth of the Yoshino River in Tokushima City. Established in 1966, this authentic Japanese restaurant serves gentle, health-conscious cuisine made with local ingredients by third-generation owner Hiroyuki Sakai, who is certified as a Wakan Yakuzen specialist. Backed by tradition, its refined Japanese cuisine has made it a beloved local favorite.

The signature dish is the lunch-only “Awa Zanmai Chirashi Sushi Set.” It is packed with the bounty of Awa, including Naruto sea bream and Awaodori chicken. Other options include the “Hoba Miso-yaki Set” and “Tempura Set.” The restaurant also offers a full selection of sawachi-style platters and kaiseki courses, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions, from banquets to memorial gatherings. Dessert and coffee sets are also popular. You can enjoy meals with a touch of the season.

Private rooms and large tatami rooms are available for groups of at least 11 people. Sawachi-style platters are especially popular for family gatherings and celebrations. Kaiseki courses are also available for banquets and formal occasions, including weddings and memorial services. Awa Jurobe Yashiki is right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to enjoy sightseeing and dining in one visit. Seasonal Japanese cuisine and the owner’s philosophy create a relaxing time.
