Situated in a tranquil residential district, the sushi restaurant Inase is a hidden gem in the City of Ise. A 60-year-old traditional Japanese house has been transformed into this unique restaurant. In this chic restaurant with a nostalgic ambiance, you can enjoy a wide variety of dishes featuring local ingredients while listening to the gentle sounds of jazz music. They offer fresh local seafood like Ise Ebi lobster, stunning nigiri sushi using Mie's famous Matsuzakagyu beef and various local sake (Japanese rice wine). Inase serves a smaller size of sushi so that you can enjoy a variety of ingredients.

Goes Well with Alcoholic Drinks!

Their Sashimi Moriawase (assorted sashimi - market price) is highly recommended besides their regular sushi. The owner chef hand selects sefood not only for their flavor but also for their exquisite texture. The super fresh seafood pairs very well with sake or wine.
