sashimi
Catching some Zs as we ride though the night lets us hit the ground running in Ishikawa Prefecture.
We indulge in some of the freshest fish from Japan’s northeastern coast in a gloriously colorful seafood buffet.
Before you do anything else on Hatsushima, treat yourself to an amazing lunch at this fisherman-run restaurant.
Miko Sushi’s location is a closely guarded secret, but Miko Shokudo is easy to find and amazing to eat at.
The restaurant’s gourmet image and proximity to the ocean gave us high expectations for freshness and flavor.
With only one of these caught for every 10,000 salmon, this rare fish comes with a super high price tag.
And if you eat it like we did, there’s essentially a second rice bowl waiting for you too.
