● Hinase is famous for its kakioko (oyster pancakes), but if you want to eat your fill of oysters, you should definitely go. The taste and quantity are both very satisfying, and there's so much you won't be able to finish it all. I recommend going during the winter oyster season. (40s/female/office worker)

This restaurant serves freshly caught shrimp, mantis shrimp, conger eel, oysters, and other seafood representative of Okayama at very fresh and reasonable prices. I recommend the sashimi, but the boiled shrimp, conger eel, and oyster tempura were also delicious. (Female, 50s, Part-time worker)

The freshness, taste, and value for money of the sashimi are all excellent. Oyster season is especially good. (Male, 30s, civil servant)

●The set meal comes with a surprisingly large portion of oysters and mantis shrimp. The sashimi is also delicious. There are blue crabs and flatfish in the fish tanks in the restaurant. I recommend coming in the winter when oysters are at their best. (40s/Female/Freelancer/Part-time worker)

●The atmosphere of the restaurant is like a set meal restaurant in a fishing town. There is always a line, but the turnover is fast. I recommend the grilled conger eel set meal! It comes with a whole fish. It comes with beautiful sashimi and miso soup with crab legs. (Female, 20s, Civil Servant)

) ● November to March: Oysters and mantis shrimp! (Male, 60s, part-time worker)

●The staff are friendly. If you tell them you can't eat much, they'll reduce the portion. They remember you even after just one visit, and when you leave they say, "Please come again next time, Mr./Ms. XX," which is very heartwarming. All the fish is delicious and fresh. I personally love the seafood salad, so I ordered it several times in a row. It's located in front of Kasaoka Station, so transportation is convenient. They also seem to have some unusual alcoholic drinks (although I don't drink). The restaurant isn't very large, but it's often full of what appear to be regulars, so I recommend making a reservation. (50s/Female/Other)

●It's all about the ability and skill to make the ingredients taste delicious. (40s/Male/Office worker)

●Specialty alcohol and food. The food is delicious, and the owner and his wife provide excellent customer service. The salted Spanish mackerel is exquisite. The Kasaoka ramen, a secret menu item, is also delicious. (Male, 50s, self-employed)
