Lunch on Fresh Whitebait Rice Bowl at Misaki Port in a Fishing Town

About this spot

An exchange facility located at Misaki Port near the tip of the peninsula, where ferries to Kyushu depart and arrive. The specialty is shirasu don, generously topped with whitebait caught in waters near Misaki, freshly boiled in a pot until fluffy. Enjoying freshly caught whitebait at the dining area overlooking the port offers an exquisite balance of fluffy texture and gentle saltiness. The market features local citrus fruits, seafood, and processed goods, perfect for shopping during your drive. While gazing out the window at fishing boats and ferries passing by, you can spend a leisurely midday moment in the relaxed atmosphere of the fishing town.

Tips

The dining area is crowded around lunch time, so arriving right after opening or a bit earlier is more reliable. The availability of shirasu may vary depending on catch conditions, so if you're particular about it, check the day's information. There is ample parking on the port side.
