Founded in 1962, the original home of Mehari Sushi, a Nanki Shingu local specialty. Mehari sushi is a traditional Kumano-area dish: a rice ball wrapped in seasoned takana leaf. Made fresh to order — served warm. Relocated to a new distinctive circular building in 2018. Teishoku, kushiage, and oden also served. Takeout available.

Tabelog 3.44 (157 reviews), TripAdvisor #5 in Shingu with 4.0 (24 reviews). Praised for 'humble local cuisine typical of Kumano' and 'warmth of being made fresh to order'. Featured on Shingu Tourism Association official website. A must-visit on any trip to Shingu.
