Sushikyu

In the old Oharai-machi neighborhood a few minutes’ walk from the entrance to the Naiku, Sushikyu has been serving a regional specialty called tekone-zushi for generations. The donburi (rice bowl), topped with raw slices of bonito marinated in soy sauce and with dried seaweed and wasabi added to taste, was originally a fisherman’s dish quickly prepared at sea.

Wadakin

$$$$

If you love beef, make a pilgrimage to Matsusaka, one express train stop north of Ise. Wadakin claims to be the originator of Matsusaka beef's fame; the cattle are raised with loving care on the restaurant's farm out in the countryside. Although dinnertime is extremely expensive, with the priciest courses an eye-watering ¥30,000, lunchtime bentos offer a less painful way to try the famed Matsusaka.
