Craft Circus Kaiou Ichiba
Kaiou Ichiba at Craft Circus is a seaside restaurant that offers casual fare such as hamayaki, which is made with plenty of fresh fish from the Seto Inland Sea, seafood rice bowls, and nigiri sushi. Additionally “Kaiou Ipponabe Set” is served only in winter. “Nabe” has an image of being shared by everyone, but you can enjoy a “konabe” meal which is an individual portion of Nabe without sharing. The restaurant is perfect for shared dining or individual dining. We also recommend adding zosui (rice porridge) or noodles to finish the meal.
