Kadoya — Restaurant in Matsuyama

This is a new restaurant across from the entrance to Tsubaki No Yu Dogo Onsen, about 300 meters from the main Dogo Onsen at the elbow of the shopping arcade. A great find, hidden behind the Lawson. They serve Uwajima style Taimeshi (Sea Bream over Rice), a regional dish in Ehime. They have several different set menu options ranging from 1,100 yen to 2,000 yen. We went with the 1,500 option with a generous portion of Taimeshi, side soup, and pickles. We also ordered a side of Karaage (fried chicken) that was tender, juicy, and delicious. The drink menu had selections of regional Ehime sake and national sake. I was new to Taimeshi, and enjoyed it. It has a unique flavor, it's fun to prepare and customize to your liking. The meal leaves you full but not too full. See photos on how to prepare. We noticed a few places have started serving Taimeshi in the Dogo area lately, so it must be popular...

The amount of sea bream is very little, but very...

Suitable for a quick meal! You can order by phone. Everything is served quickly, which is suitable for easy, quick meals but if you're looking for some local good. Signature “Sea Bream Rice” with its original source was great. We love that 😉 The number of tables isn't a lot, some people gave up getting seats without...
