Uwajima: Tai Meshi and Jako Ten - Gourmet Food Walk Through a Castle Town
A gourmet course that begins with a morning stroll through Uwajima Castle (宇和島城), one of Japan's twelve remaining original castle towers, and leads you through a full day of Nanyo's finest foods: authentic Uwajima Tai Meshi with fresh sea bream in egg sauce, piping-hot jako ten (fish cake), and more. Enjoy lunch at the renowned local specialist Hozumitei (ほづみ亭), then take a leisurely digestive walk through the beautiful Tensha Garden (天赦園), a feudal lord's garden connected to the Date clan. At Michi no Eki Uwajima Kisaiya Square (道の駅うわじまきさいや広場), watch jako ten being fried to order, sample mandarin citrus sweets, and shop for souvenirs. Your journey concludes at Waryō Shrine (和霊神社), crowned by a colossal stone torii gate said to be among Japan's largest. Walk, eat, walk again—this is a castle town day brimming with the bounty of the sea, perfect for food lovers.
