Unique Japanese-style dining restaurant

Sanpou Nishimuraya Honten, a unique Japanese-style dining restaurant, gift boutique & salon lounge, prides itself on cuisine made from local ingredients that represent the seasonal flavors of Tajima (Northern Hyogo Prefecture).
Counter seating surrounds a traditional Japanese “Iriori” (traditional cooking hearth) forming an impressive focal point in the middle of the restaurant – where many colorful cuisines are prepared.
Enjoy dishes cooked by the charcoal fire in the irori with Japanese techniques bringing out their beauty and seasonal flavors.

Locally-produced ingredients

The Tajima region is blessed with rich soil, bountiful seas, and pristine waters – providing an array of culinary delights that Sanpou sources fresh and direct from local producers. Craftsmen chefs carefully work with these ingredients to guarantee each meal is made fresh daily, bringing out the richest flavors. Sanpou Nishimuraya features local specialties such as artisanal rice from nearby Kami-cho grown using traditional methods, fresh wasabi grown at the foot of the mountains of Hidaka, and sweet salmon from the waters of the Kannabe Highlands.
