Enjoy kumano-no-sato cuisine! “Kumano Yado Umihikari” [Anshin Mie Ria Excellent Store Report]

What is “Kumano no Yado Umihikari”?

This hotel is located on a small hill, very close to KumanoCity Station, and the restaurant is open to both hotel guests and day-trippers.

The menu includes not only fresh seafood and local cuisine, but also a la carte dishes and international dishes.
We have a very rich lineup ranging from reasonably priced dishes to luxurious dishes, and you can enjoy the elegant atmosphere of a hotel and the roughness of an izakaya!

This time, we heard that this store was selected as an excellent store in Mie Prefecture's "Anshin Mie Ria" certification system, so we decided to interview it!

It's on a hill, so you'll have to climb up the slope, but don't worry, the road itself is wide and easy to walk on.

Menu introduction

Being Kumano, menus using seafood seem to be popular.

We purchase from Yuki Fishing Port in the city, and the abalone and other ingredients are cooked alive, so they are super fresh!
It's truly exquisite. Ise lobster is also very popular as a local specialty.

I'm happy that I can easily eat rice at a reasonable price. The rice is Koshihikari rice grown in KumanoCity MihamaTown Oroshi, which has clean water and is located next to Kumano City, so it is very delicious.

We also have a wide variety of daily menus and limited menus available only on that day.
It's great that you can enjoy not only meals, but also snacks, single dishes, and alcoholic beverages in an izakaya style.

Food report!

"Kumano Suigun Gorgeous Yaki"

This luxurious menu is filled with all the charms of Kumano.
When the food is brought to you, it is poured with boiling water and steamed on the spot. The power and aroma of the steam that comes out will make you feel excited and get your appetite at its peak!

All of them are packed with meat and you can enjoy the plump texture. You can enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves, but it's also good to add more flavor with mayonnaise, butter, and lemon! (*Currently, it is provided in a bag to prevent infectious diseases.)

Since it is heated, it is said to be delicious even for people who don't like raw shellfish or shrimp.

"Assorted Sashimi"

Fresh fish sashimi. This time, we received bluefin tuna, red grouper, mackerel, yellowtail, and amago.

Each type of fish has its own characteristics, but what they all have in common is that they all have plump flesh and a refreshing taste. By the way, amago, which looks like salmon, is actually a river fish, but it has no distinctive odor and is very easy to eat, so be sure to give it a try. It was also great with alcohol!

" Mehari-sushi "

Anyway, it's big! lol

This `` Mehari-sushi'' is a kumano-no-sato, and the name ``Mehari'' comes from the fact that the mouth and eyes open wide when eating.

The crunchy texture and tangy taste are irresistible. The area has clean water, so each grain of rice is truly delicious! .

"Tuna triangular stew with ginger"

"Triangle" refers to the heart. The texture is very similar to liver, but it is sweetly seasoned and does not have the characteristic odor of internal organs, so it is very easy to eat. It seems to contain a lot of collagen, making it a rare item!

"Ashiha Ramen"

More than 2,000 years ago, there is a legend in Kumano about a man named "Xu Fu" who visited this area on the orders of Qin Shihuang in search of the elixir of life.

It is said that the elixir of immortality that Jofuku sought was a plant called ``Asuha''.

The noodles are made by kneading Asuka leaves and are distinctive for their green color. It has a firm and chewy texture.

The black pepper soup contains salt sauce, chashu pork, green onions, and bean sprouts, and the light seasoning blends well with the tangy flavor.

They are currently working hard to liven up the entire KumanoCity with Asuha Ramen!
It won't make you immortal, but it's healthy and delicious, so please give it a try.

Atmosphere inside the store

There are table seats inside the store.

Private room.

Counter seat.

And you can even eat it in your hotel room!
*Can be used by both day-trippers and overnight guests

Dining in hotel rooms was started as a measure to prevent infectious diseases, but it is also an attractive service, so we will introduce it in detail.

There is a usage fee of 1,100 yen, but there is no time limit and you can eat while relaxing. If you're on a family trip or on a date, why not enjoy a meal here?

Nearest photo spot

"MaruyamaSenmaida"

When it comes to Kumano's representative photo spot, it has to be MaruyamaSenmaida.
It goes without saying that the scenery is spectacular, and you can enjoy the changing scenery of each season.

The photo was taken before rice planting (just before Golden Week).
It's so beautiful to see the blue sky reflecting on the rice fields filled with water.

This is what summer looks like.
It's interesting to see how the planted rice grows and looks like it's sticking out along the shape of the rice field.

" Shishiiwa and Kumano Fireworks Festival"

On the coast that stretches out in front of KumanoCity, there is a natural monument called `` Shishiiwa''.
When you look at the side of the rock like this, it looks like a lion, which is why it got its name.

It's really cool even when there's nothing...
Collaboration with fireworks during the Kumano Fireworks Festival. I was able to take a very impressive photo.

summary

At Kumano no Yado Umihikari, we enjoyed fresh seafood and other dishes unique to Kumano! The taste is of course exquisite, but it is also excellent at preventing infectious diseases. We are located in a location where you can easily stop by when you visit KumanoCity, so we hope you will stop by as well.

Thank you for watching until the end.
