Local Pick
Overview
A5 Hida wagyu seared by blowtorch over sushi rice on a cracker, pioneered as Takayama street food.
Takayama street vendors sear slices of grade-A5 Hida wagyu with a blowtorch and lay them over sushi rice on a crispy rice cracker, served as walk-and-eat street food. Sakaguchiya near the Sanmachi historic district pioneered the format, and the combination of meltingly fatty beef, warm rice, and smoky char is unlike any sushi elsewhere. Lines form by mid-morning on weekends.
Local tips
Ask for the daily special (higawari). It's often the chef's best work at a fraction of the a-la-carte price. The morning markets end by noon. Start your day there for fresh produce, pickles, and local crafts.
