Summer Oyster Season!

One of our restaurants, Nikenchaya Naiku-Mae Ten, located near Naiku in Ise City (map) is gearing up for the hot weather with our summer oyster menu. Right now, Uramura oysters are in season and are better than ever! Whether fried, steamed or grilled, our oysters are some of the best you can find!

Uramura oysters come from neighboring Uramura-Cho in Toba City along the Oonura Bay, where fresh water and sea water produce ideal conditions for growing some of Japan’s tastiest and sought after oysters. Pictured below is our signature dish, grilled, simmered, and fried oyster lunch set.

If your appetite is small our “Kaki Shigureni Chazuke”, simmered Uramura oysters and fresh ginger smothered in a thick, sweet soy sauce served on a bowl of rice, would be your choice. This is a light meal, but it gives you a nice boost of energy in the summer heat. If oysters are not your fist choice, Nikenchaya Naiku-Mae Ten has a wide range of other goodies to satisfy your hunger!

We are located along the Isuzu River on Oharai-machi street near Ise Jingu (Naiku). When visiting Jingu, take a break from the heat and the flurry of activity and have lunch and a cool drink in our traditional wooden style building overlooking the river for a true Japanese experience.

We are open everyday from 11:00~20:00. Thursdays, we are open from 11:00 to 15:00.

Of course, English menus are available!
