3 delicious places where locals go to eat!

There is a lot to see around Ise, such as visiting Ise Grand Shrine and eating your way through Okage Yokocho, but the stores around Ise Grand Shrine actually close very early, around 5pm. Here are some restaurants I recommend in Ise.

Kuranoya

The restaurant is located about 20 minutes by car from Ise Shrine.

Rest assured even if you are worried about what to order

Using ingredients carefully selected by the chef,

They offer courses at reasonable prices.

It's also interesting that the content changes depending on the person (laughs).

It has a strong local flavor, so it may be a little nerve-wracking.

Contrary to appearance, the owner is a very sensitive and kind person.

The second floor is a ryokan, so you can stay overnight.

We also recommend enjoying a delicious Japanese-style breakfast!

Banf

7 minutes walk from Ise Shrine, Geku.

Even on weekdays, the place is packed with locals.

A family-run yakitori restaurant loved by locals

My go-to menu is

Chicken breast sashimi, fried chicken wings, chicken and plum tea

Deep fried chicken wings

Five times more crispy than you'd expect

I absolutely love it. It's so delicious I can't stop eating it.

Toramaru

A fish izakaya restaurant in a warehouse in Kawasaki, Ise City

This restaurant is extremely popular, so reservations are essential!

It has a hideaway feel, and you'll feel lifted the moment you enter the store.

It's cool that they won't open unless they have delicious fish.

When I visited, I was given a seared horse mackerel roll.

It was really delicious.

I love the ocean, so in 2008 I obtained my PADI Divemaster license and national diver certification. In 2009, while traveling around the world, I met and married my husband, a photographer, in the countryside of San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. In 2012, I opened a small shop in Ise City. Our studio is located on a 2300m2 site, and the garden is a natural environment with many birds living in it. We also operate private lodgings on the site.
