Seafood Nigiri Sushi and Freshly Fried Tempura
Aonoya's cuisine mainly consists of Japanese dishes such as seafood nigiri sushi and freshly fried tempura. The nigiri sushi features fresh ingredients such as sea bream, sea urchin, and octopus caught in Yura Port. The seasonal fish is also extremely fresh. In particular, the Akashi Strait is a fishing ground where white fish can be caught well.
The famous sea bream, Awaji's long-season mackerel, hairtail, conger eel, octopus, and other chef-made nigiri dishes are also popular. There are many customers who come repeatedly to try the rare Yura sea urchin from Awaji.
The tempura will be freshly fried using ingredients from our own farm on Awaji Island. In addition to the shrimp and white fish, the tempura made with freshly harvested vegetables from Awaji Island is also exquisite. Tea salt, salted seaweed, tempura sauce, etc. bring out the flavor of the ingredients.
