Gurunavi

Relaxed dining spot in Matsue that serves as a reliable introduction to the regional flavors of Shimane Prefecture. The menu covers a wide range of local specialties, from shijimi clam miso soup harvested from nearby Lake Shinji to izumo soba and seasonal small plates featuring whatever the Sea of Japan has yielded that day. The casual atmosphere and reasonable prices make it a good choice for visitors who want to sample multiple Shimane dishes without committing to a formal kaiseki meal. Its central location in Matsue means it pairs easily with a day spent visiting Matsue Castle or strolling along the Shiomi Nawate samurai district.
