Takezaki Kaisen is an oyster hut run by an active fisherman. It sits right by the Ariake Sea and serves farmed oysters, Takezaki crab, and more at reasonable prices. Popular with everyone from locals to tourists visiting on a drive or motorcycle tour, it draws a wide range of guests.

The signature dish is Takezaki oysters. Even when grilled, they do not shrink much, and are known for their large, springy texture and rich sweetness. Popular choices include grilled oysters, which let you enjoy the oysters' natural flavor, and fried oysters, which bring out their savory umami. You can also try dishes like peperoncino, where the oysters' sweetness blends with the pasta. Another local specialty is Takezaki crab. In summer, you can enjoy male crabs with rich crab miso, while in winter, female crabs are prized for their abundant roe. The menu also includes a full selection of side dishes such as meat, vegetables, and desserts, along with alcoholic drinks.

The spacious interior can seat up to 120 people. The staff will carefully show you how to grill the seafood. There are also terrace seats where you can dine surrounded by nature. It's a great place to enjoy fresh seafood while taking in views of the Ariake Sea and the scent of the ocean breeze.
