Located in Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo, surrounded by abundant natural scenery, the long-established sushi restaurant "Morimotoya" sources live fish each morning, focusing on freshness, and keeps them in an in-house tank until preparation. Each order is prepared at its optimal moment to preserve peak flavor. The sushi rice, made with locally grown "Koshihikari" from Tamba-Sasayama and cooked in a gas kettle, is known for its distinct grains and delicate texture. In addition to sushi, dishes such as sashimi, simmered fish, and dobin-mushi are available, prepared with the day’s ingredients. A selection includes the locally brewed sake "Homei," known for its rich character.

活魚割烹 宝魚園
This Japanese restaurant is approximately a 10-minute drive from JR Sasayamaguchi Station. The owner and chef, who have experience training in Osaka, use their skills while considering what their customers want and only serve dishes that they themselves believe are delicious, offering dishes such as "Otsukuri Gozen (Sashimi set meal)," which features an assortment of recommended fresh fish. As they source seasonal ingredients, the menu changes depending on the season, and they aim for local production and consumption, so they use vegetables from Tanba Sasayama City as much as possible and Koshihikari rice that has been lovingly grown locally. In addition to purchasing sake from a local sake brewery in the hopes of supporting the local area, they also stock a selection of shochu carefully selected by the owner.
