Wadatsumi Sushi Restaurant

A Japanese restaurant with a great atmosphere. High level of service The shop will open at 5:00 p.m. It is another option if you are staying at Ine. The menu includes both Sasimi and sushi. The fish used for cooking is very fresh as well.

such an enjoyable, delicious dinner and reasonable price for 4 persons. we order two sets. One of them is shabu. I love it.

Kyoto, 2023, Day 4, Ine, Restaurant Wadatsumi

Lesley send me a video on this restaurant about 125 Km drive from Kyoto, a fishing village, seaside area!

Originally didn’t realise that it would take 2 hours to get there, so early we left!

Advance booking was required and lucky we did! The Area/Restaurant specialises on Buri, (Japanese Amberjack, similar to Hamachi but larger) I booked the tasting menu in advance, the girls ordered a La Carte.

When you look at the picture of the sea, it’s so crystal clear you somehow know it’s fresher then fresh! The Sashimi was simply sublime, fresh, and full of the flavour of the sea! Something we simply never get as good in SG!

The Buri Shabu Shabu was nice, but the fish has the tendency to have quite a bite, recommend to only dip it shortly in the Boiling Stock, the Ponzu was perfect!

The Daikon braised with the Braised Buri was simply full of flavour! Amazing!

Miso-Buri grilled, great flavour but quite dry, sadly so!

The Buri Sushi was sensational! Perfect flavours right from the get go!

It goes without saying this was worth a trip! The environment, the pristine waters, quality of service! Par excellence!

Enjoy

The best restaurant around Ine! We did not choose this place because it seemed a bit pricey. Since all shops were closed on Thursday so we had no choice.

But wow! From the menu picture, the portion seem small for 4,400 yen but in reality they were huge! The set consists of a appetizers (tofu and some kind of conch), a sashimi plates (freshly caught, variety of fish), braised soy sauce fish (yes, you got the whole fish for yourself!), 5 sushi, Japanese steamed eggs, miso soup and a dessert! I was overwhelmed by how much food they offered for just 4,400 yen.

The chef also suggested us to try fresh oyster. It was very big and super sweet! A must try as well! (The optimal oyster time is around April to August, so if you happen to visit these times, please try them!)

All food are of quality, and the service was superb. I am very very pleased and happy that we finally ended up eating at this restaurant. I would give it a 10 out of 5 if google map allows me. Totally recommend!

Best fish dish I’ve had in a while. We got the buri set for 7700 yen each person and it was beyond worth the price. The set included all the possible dishes you could imagine (shabu shabu, fried, grilled, steamed, sashimi, etc.) The portions were so large we had to pack it for breakfast the next day. The ingredients were super fresh and even side dishes like chawanmushi tasted better than any other ones I’ve tried. The staffs were accommodating although they don’t speak english. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you visit Ine and make sure to make a reservation if you want to dine here!

Super cool place to enjoy a nice sushi lunch.
The set lunch is very well balanced, the amounts enough for a big guy like me.

Price is reasonable and the views are so cool and relaxing

Service is nice and they have bike parking very near.

Wadatsumi is a temple praising fish, and the best example of Sea to Table I have ever seen. I ordered the Iomi course for 5,500 yen (branded the most popular) and it was honestly so much food I couldn't eat it all, from sushi, to grilled with salt, boiled fish in soy sauce, to fugu tempura, and even more. From the perspective of excellence in terms of fish preparation, this restaurant is easily 5-stars. The atmosphere in the evening, sitting at the counter while the chef prepares the fish to the background of the bay right in front of you, this is also easily 5-stars.
My only hesitation in giving this restaurant a 5-star rating is the lack of diversity in the meal. Yes, the fish was amazing. It was prepared a variety of different ways, but there wasn't really anything else but fish. I would have liked to have some vegetables prepared with the fish, but that may just be me. I will also second what another reviewer said, this restaurant is not an option for vegan or vegetarian diners.
In terms of cooking skill, ingredient quality (everything was locally caught and prepared), and atmosphere, this place is not only a great dining experience, but a great price for the amount of food. Highly reccomend.

This is an excellent omakase. Fantastic fresh seafood and delicious! I Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. I can't overemphasis what a fantastic experience we had here. The sushi was delicious and creative, the service was attentive. Inside the menu is a set menu that you can’t edit, you have to sit in and let the sushi chef do up each dish. Watching him prepare the dishes is half the fun honestly, and the eventual melt-in-your-mouth results are definitely something to write home about! This is a ‘must-try’ for anyone passionate for Japanese sushi or sashimi. Excellent range of fresh seafood prepared in various ways. Not particularly gourmet or high class but good quality and a super authentic local experience. The sushi is mind blowing, fresh, and surprisingly cheap. The sake is local and delicious. My wife, who detests shellfish, tried — and loved — abalone, crab, uni, Ikura, and more. We didn’t get much fish in our omakase order, but what we did get (maguro and salmon) was delicious. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended for the local factor. A real hidden gem in Ine area. Amazing food with friendly sushi masters. They speak minimal English so we had to use google translate the some time.

Got here at 11:25am without reservation and was lucky enough to get in🙏. Amazing views but most importantly very fresh sushi. I wish I can come here again.

The fish was super fresh. The food was delicious and very substantial with the sea right in front of you. Amazing !

Excellent sushis with a beautiful view and an exceptional quality/cost ratio

Excellent service! The food is very delicious. I ordered a full set course. I was very full. And not expensive for me. Good view and have a great chef. That fair price! I will come back again.

A small restaurant provides people with good quality meals by using local ingredients. All seafood are fresh and well cooked but the prices are surely reasonable and affordable by all tourists. It is a redo that you will not afford to miss. Highly recommended to all visitors.

Best hamachi sashimi everrr !!!
The chef is so nice
Shell is also great
The view is the best

Good location and lovely staff. Delicious fresh fish and sushi.

Great value sushi and sashimi, all freshly caught fish from the area. Sit on the first floor if you want counter seating and interaction with sushi chef, sit on the second floor if you like a more quiet environment with great views of the bay.

Some Japanese restaurants have a dish or two for vegans or vegetarians. This place has none. They only have these course sets primarily. Do not come here if vegan!
The fish here on the other hand looks phenomenal! :)

Nice place for dinner. Excellent service

Good food at reasonable price. Fresh ingredients. If u love to eat fish, visit here. Love from Singapore.

I recommend 100%. The food is delicious, fresh and the waitresses are adorable.
