Hamayaki Sakaba Minato

Fun, interactive seafood restaurant in Matsue where the main attraction is grilling your own fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood right at your table on a charcoal brazier. The ingredients come straight from the Sea of Japan and Lake Shinji, so the quality is excellent, with seasonal highlights like iwagaki (rock oysters) in summer and matsuba crab in winter. The lively, casual atmosphere makes it a great choice for groups, and the staff happily explain optimal grilling times for each item. Pair the seafood with local Shimane sake, and you have one of the most enjoyable and hands-on dining experiences in the San'in region. Reservations are recommended on weekends.
