Sushi restaurant • 247-4 Hongūchō Hongū, Tanabe, Wakayama 647-1792, Japan
Miya Sushi, located near the approach to Kumano Hongu Taisha, is a sushi restaurant where you can enjoy surprisingly fresh seafood in the depths of Wakayama's mountains. Surrounded by lush nature, it offers exquisite sushi to rival those in the city, earning immense support from locals and tourists alike.
The sushi at Miya Sushi is praised for its fresh ingredients and the perfect balance with vinegared rice. The rice melts in your mouth, enhancing the flavors of the toppings. Despite being situated in the mountains, it uses astonishingly fresh seafood, matching the taste of high-end sushi restaurants in the city.
Udon, notable for its firm noodles and rich soup, is also a popular menu item. Squeezing kabosu over it gives a refreshing taste change, making it a perfect match with sushi.
The harmony of crispy batter and fresh ingredients is not to be missed. Tempura fried by professional hands offers a taste distinctly superior to city tempura shops.
Miya Sushi offers various set menus, such as sushi and udon sets or tendon (tempura rice bowls). These sets provide better value than ordering separately and are praised for offering a variety of flavors.
The interior presents a calm Japanese atmosphere where you can leisurely enjoy your meal. The staff's friendly and attentive service is another charm of Miya Sushi, able to heal the weary body from sightseeing and provide a heartwarming moment.
Miya Sushi is the best rest spot during the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage or visiting Kumano Hongu Taisha. Enjoying unexpectedly fresh and delicious sushi, udon, and tempura in the mountains, along with reasonable pricing, is attractive. It is a renowned establishment appropriately called the "Jewel Box of Kumano," where you can experience Kumano's nature and culinary culture at once. Consider adding a meal at Miya Sushi to your Kumano pilgrimage memories.
