Long-established Kappo Daiki (IseCity) ``Ise shrimp nigiri shunkei platter'' ``Ise lobster course'' ``Ise lobster sashimi set meal''

Long-established Japanese restaurant Daiki

Founded in 1945, it started as a stand in front of Ujiyamada Station that only served oden, white rice, and alcohol, and in 1952 it became a full-fledged Japanese restaurant at its current location.
Although it is a long-established restaurant with a Japanese atmosphere, you can enjoy dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Ise-Shima at reasonable prices starting from 1,000 yen.
Also, I want to enjoy Ise shrimp! For those who say so, we offer 2.5 Ise lobsters from Shima prepared in various ways unique to Daiki.
Enjoy the "Ise lobster course (from 10,000 yen)". I want to enjoy the rich seafood of Ise-Shima! For those who say so, we recommend the ``Ise Nigiri Harukemori'' (5,000 yen), a truly ``Ise-rich'' nigiri sushi that combines one live lobster with Ise-Shima's rich seafood such as abalone and conger eel. .
This is a restaurant that will brighten up your memories of your trip to Ise-Shima with the 'taste' and 'hospitality' unique to the land where the gods dwell.
The entrance has no steps, making it barrier-free.The table seats and counter seats on the 1st floor are wheelchair-accessible, and the rooms on the 1st floor and 2nd floor, other than the large hall, are kotatsu-style and have private rooms, so it's perfect for families with children. Anyone can enjoy their meals with peace of mind.
*There is a fishing season for Ise lobster dishes, so please check in advance from mid-July to mid-August.

Grill Katayama (IseCity) "Sauteed Ise Shrimp" "Chef's Recommendations"

In 1972, Toshimi Katayama, who was a former chef at the Shima Kanko Hotel, opened a counter-only restaurant serving Western food in an arcade in front of IseCity Station. We started out as a small shop with only 11 seats.
Since Ise is blessed with an abundance of quality ingredients, I have been living there for 12 years with the desire to one day open a French restaurant that focuses on high-quality ingredients such as local spiny lobster, abalone, and Matsusaka meat. . Opened a slightly larger store in Fukiage, an arcade that was loved by locals. A long-awaited French restaurant. Currently, we have a shop in Iwabuchi.
Grill Katayama is loved because even though it is a French restaurant, it has been run by a family since the previous restaurant, with the aim of providing a homely atmosphere without formality. For this reason, there are many repeat visitors from far away who always stop by when they come to worship at IseJingu.
You can also enjoy the beef stew, tongue stew, and crab cream croquette that have been loved since the restaurant opened, all with the same taste as before.
Please come and try the food at Grill Katayama, which continues to be loved by both locals and visitors from far away.

Steamed Seafood Kagetsu (TobaCity) "Supreme Ise Lobster Course" "Steamed Ise Lobster" "Fried Ise Lobster"

Kagetsu is a large shop with a Japanese-style exterior, located a little off the main street in Toba.
We do not use any frozen spiny lobster, and are particular about making all of our lobsters fresh from the tank. This restaurant's specialty is ``Ise lobster figure steamed'' (from 5,500 yen), which is made by placing spiny lobsters so lively that they look like they're about to run away and steaming them in a table steamer.
For those who want to luxuriously enjoy Ise lobster in various forms such as steamed, grilled, and fried, we recommend the ``Ise lobster supreme course'' (25,300 yen), which uses 5 lobsters per person. There are also courses starting from 6,050 yen for those looking for a bit of luxury on their own.
Since they only use natural spiny lobsters from Mie Prefecture, they can only be tasted from late September to early May.
From early May to mid-September, the restaurant specializes in natural abalone from Mie Prefecture. We recommend the ``Abalone Pair Course'' (13,200 yen), where you can enjoy both ``black abalone'' and ``red abalone,'' which are considered lucky abalone.
We recommend making reservations in advance, as the restaurant may be fully booked even on weekday afternoons.
This is a shop run by a young, second-generation owner who says, ``We only compete with honesty and authenticity!''
