A kama-meshi (clay pot rice) specialty veteran restaurant operating for over 50 years, just 3 minutes walk from Koyasan Daimon Gate.

Kama-meshi generously featuring mountain bounty — sansai wild vegetables, local chicken, shiitake mushrooms — is cooked to order so even the crust is delicious. Despite a humble, unassuming exterior, the regulars never stop coming. 108 Tabelog reviews, rating 3.43. Cash only, no reservations.
