Sanki Chaya is a restaurant run by Sanki Sangyo, which started manufacturing and selling ``sanma sushi'' in 1975 with the aim of disseminating local cuisine to the nation. Located along National Route 42 OwaseCity, you can enjoy a variety of dishes from donburi (katsudon) to sushi rolls. It's like a Japanese-style family restaurant, where everyone from the elderly to children can feel at ease and feel free to stop by.
What you can enjoy inside this restaurant is Mehari-sushi (150 yen each), an authentic local dish that maintains the traditional taste.
In order to maintain a stable supply of mustard mustard leaves, which have recently become difficult to obtain due to a decrease in the number of farmers producing them, we purchase from contracted farmers. To avoid wasting ingredients, we chop up the mustard greens left over from the wrapping process and sprinkle them with bonito flakes as an ingredient.
`` Mehari-sushi Take-out (600 yen for 6 pieces)'' is unique to ``Sanki Chaya'' and allows you to enjoy two different flavors: white rice and vinegared rice.
Miki Sangyo's best selling item is ``Sanma Sushi'', which is made using vinegar made from underground water from Nachi Falls, and can be ordered from just one piece when eating in the restaurant. It's also great to be able to enjoy Mehari-sushi, Sanma sushi, and Owase's local cuisine all at once.
