This is a gem of japan! After travelling for one month in the country, and struggling a bit with finding good food, we landed here by chance: starving, without a reservation, and seeing zero seats available. The owner was super nice and accepted to host us for dinner on a later hour when tables wood free up. We had delicious meals: sashimi was super fresh and the taste just amazing, the bowl of rice with fish and caviar was superb, and the same can be said for their ramen and gyoza! We ended up eating there for our whole stay in the area, having fun chat with the lovely couple who owns the place. Atmosphere is great and food is authentic and good, with vibes straight from a Miyazaki movie. Prices are great as well for the high quality of food, this is a must go place if you are staying near Shiretoko...

The staff knows a little bit of english too, so thats super useful. Will definitely come again if i am...
