Aoki Sazae-ten
A seafood wholesale shop and dining hall established in the early Showa 30s (late 1950s), operating for over 50 years at Yumigahama Beach. Directly sources S-grade turban shells, abalone, and spiny lobster from around Mikomoto Island. Fresher and more affordable because it's operated by a wholesaler. The Spiny Lobster Ramen (1,500 yen) is said to have originated here in Minami-Izu. Saved by 7,620 people on Tabelog, 288 reviews. TripAdvisor #1 in Minamiizu (3.8/5, 66 reviews). Takeout available.
