🦀A two-group inn run by a fish shop: live crab feasts and nodoguro

Kyoto · Shigeyoshi

1

A small inn for just two groups

• 🐟The inn was started by a fish shop that wanted guests to enjoy local seafood at its best, not just buy it.
• 🏠The building was made for only two groups; spaces are divided by the lobby, so it feels like renting a whole floor.
• 🎣The owner is a fisherman and serves rare local fish he catches himself.

2

Tatami rooms with in-room dining

• 🎎Choose two connected 10-tatami rooms (20 tatami in total, 4–8 guests) or a 12.5-tatami room (2–6 guests).
• 🍱Meals are served in the room for both.
• 🏡Groups of 10–16 can rent the whole building, bookable by phone only.

Winter live-crab full course

• 🦀From November to March (starting 7 or 8 November depending on the catch), the crab course uses only live, whole brand crabs landed at Tsuiyama, Taiza and Amino ports.
• ❄️No crabs with broken legs or half crabs, and no frozen crab in the winter plans.
• 🍲Expect crab sashimi, crab miso grilled in the shell, grilled crab, crab shabu-shabu and crab porridge; female seko-gani can be ordered extra until about January.

4

Spring-to-autumn nodoguro course

• 🐠From April to October the course centers on nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) from the Sea of Japan.
• 🍽️Dishes include salt-grilled nodoguro, octopus carpaccio, a trio including firefly squid, and sashimi of sweet shrimp, squid and seasonal fish.
• 🥩Options add wagyu steak, or wild abalone from May to August.

5

A hearty breakfast

• 🍳Breakfast is generous and changes with the seasons.
• 🧒There are no children's set meals; rice, nori and furikake are provided at dinner, and rice and miso soup at breakfast.
• 🦐Through its fish shop the inn also takes orders for live crab, fresh fish and souvenirs.

Bath and lobby

Yuhigaura, 5 minutes on foot
