Gorosaya
Elegant, understated ambience and fantastic seafood. Try the simmered fish, usually a whole red snapper (kinmedai) in a delicate, sweet and salty broth. The Isōjiru soup is made from over a dozen varieties of shellfish and looks like a tide pool in a bowl. Look for the wooden fish decorating the entrance and come early for lunch.

Mimatsu
No matter that there's no English menu, everyone orders the same thing anyway – the kurofune sushi set (¥2000), a selection of the freshest local catch. With a crisp interior and seating for no more than 15, there's little to distract you from the pleasure of eating it. Look for the white sign and black door curtains.

Fuji Ichi
The coastal road is lined with restaurants and fishmongers – this is both. The casual upstairs eatery (enter through the shop) is noted for its grilled squid (ika maruyaki teishoku, ¥1100), but you can't miss with the sashimi set (sashimi teishoku, ¥1100). Heading south, it's a block past the Aoki supermarket; look for the vertical blue signs on the right.
