Perennial local favourites from land and sea such as kaisen-don (mixed sashimi on rice) and gyūtan (chargrilled cow's tongue) feature here, along with seasonal specialities such as Matsushima's famous oysters. Seating is on floor cushions on the 2nd level; try to get a window table. It's in a beige building with an indigo banner and has a picture menu.
