Shirasuya e's
Opened in 2017. The owner's family are Etajima fishermen, so they directly supply the fresh shirasu (whitebait) and oysters used in their creative home-style dining bar. Concept: 'We want more people to know the island's best'. Featured on TV and in magazines; busy with locals and tourists on weekends. Two official websites: shirasuya-es.com and shirasuya-oyster.jp.
Reviews say 'freshness from direct sourcing from a fishing family is on another level', 'the shirasu bowl is worth the trip to Etajima', and 'both oysters and shirasu are top class'. Featured in many TV shows and magazines. Listed on HotPepper, Etajima Tourism Association, and go-etajima.net.
