Hama no Kakiageya
A kakiage specialist run directly by the Yui Fishing Cooperative. At Yui Imaizukuhama near Yui Port. Sakura ebi — caught only in Suruga Bay and Taiwan in the whole world — delivered straight from the co-op and fried into light, fluffy kakiage for under ¥1,000. During sakura ebi season (Apr-Jun, Oct-Dec) expect pre-opening queues on weekends. 'Only here can you eat real Suruga Bay sakura ebi at this price,' locals say. 50-car parking.
448 Tabelog reviews. 'Unbeatable value as a co-op direct store,' 'Dozens queuing before opening during season,' 'Worth driving in from out of prefecture for the fresh sakura ebi,' 'Came back after 3 years — still delicious.' Many repeat visitors. No fake review evidence.
