We were recommended at our ryokan, Carpe Diem, to go and eat dinner in a nearby family restaurant called Kinona. The service was very friendly and the hostess was lovely. She gave us good tips about food and we discussed life in general.

The food was served in several small dishes and was beautifully composed. We got to experience new tastes: pickles, white fish and firefly squid (salted and natural). The squids were really cute...and tasty.

The food, atmosphere and service was excellent and we highly recommend you to try it out.
