What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedA pheasant (kiji) specialty restaurant of 30+ years beside the Kuma River. Enjoy pheasant in sashimi, charcoal-grilled, and hot pot styles. Selected for Tabelog Torimono 100 Famous Restaurants 2025. A rare cuisine unavailable elsewhere.
Diners expecting gamey meat are surprised by the refined, mild flavor similar to premium chicken. The firm texture of kiji sashimi is shockingly delicious. Dining by the sound of the river stream is exceptional. Tabelog 3.63, 72 reviews.
