Pro Fisherman × Artisan Skills! Experience a Completely New Seafood Gourmet Journey at “Kikuno-ya”
In October 2024, along the coast of Izumisano City (Izumisano-shi)—in a prime location just minutes by car
from Kansai International Airport (Kansai Kokusai Kūkō) and the Osaka area—a genuine seafood gourmet
destination, “Kikuno-ya,” was born.
The owner, renowned as a record-setting pro fisherman, has boldly
entered the culinary scene with a passionate commitment to “providing the finest freshness at reasonable prices” while fully capturing the charm of the local fishing port.


Freshly delivered 【Premium Bluefin Tuna】 and 【Exquisite Torigai】
At Kikuno-ya, freshness is always the top priority. The signature dishes—premium bluefin tuna and Izumisano
City’s branded shellfish, the exquisite “Torigai”—are meticulously prepared by skilled artisans to be enjoyed at
their very best. Utilizing the traditional “Shinkeijime” technique (a method that maximizes the natural flavor and
texture of the fish), the true essence of the seafood is brought to life, while the latest rapid freezing technology
ensures that even after thawing, the freshness is impeccably maintained.


Choose × Grill × Savor! A Brand-New Seafood BBQ Experience
Inside the restaurant, an indoor grill area lets you grill freshly purchased seafood right on the spot, delivering
an exceptionally satisfying experience for both family outings and group gatherings. Even more exciting,
Kikuno-ya is planning to launch an outdoor BBQ facility in mid-April 2025. Additionally, a boat will be moored
behind the restaurant as part of a forthcoming fishing experience plan, where you can have your catch
immediately prepared—embodying a unique seafood gourmet concept exclusive to Izumisano.


Comfortable Ambience & Barrier-Free Access
The restaurant boasts a spacious, bright interior that is fully barrier-free. In the open kitchen, you can watch
seasoned Japanese culinary artisans at work, showcasing their masterful skills up close. With photo menus
and ticket machines in place, international tourists and families can effortlessly place their orders.


Set to capture attention as “Izumisano’s Seafood Gourmet Arena,” Kikuno-ya invites you to indulge in
exquisite seafood cuisine where top-notch freshness and professional craftsmanship come together flawlessly.
