Quote from @murakamiya854's post
The luxurious menu for seafood lovers, including large sea urchins and oysters, uses all the local ingredients from the Kotaniishi district of Chonai Town, and just looking at the pictures makes me hungry. We asked the manager, Mr. Ichinoya, about the appeal of Murakamiya, which attracts a flood of customers not only from the local area but also from all over Japan.
I knew I could definitely attract people to Murakamiya," says Ichinoya, who takes pride in using local ingredients.
How did the Murakamiya guest house begin?
We purchased this property in 2018 without moving in and opened it as Murakamiya, a guest house. Lunch business started in 2020 in the Corona disaster. We were convinced that this would definitely attract people, as there are not many restaurants that make use of local ingredients.

I understand that your food is very popular. What kind of menu do you have?
From April to May, the "Chonai Oyster Nilla Gozen" is popular, and from June to mid-September, the "Fresh Sea Urchin Bowl" is popular.
From April to mid-September, we also offer roast Ezo sika deer rice bowls.
Chonai Oyster Nila Gozen" 2,200 yen (tax included)
Fresh sea urchin bowl" 4,200 yen (tax included)
Roasted Ezo sika deer rice bowl 2,000 yen (tax included)
The manager sometimes serves fish caught by himself.
What do you recommend for visitors to the area to spend their time?
When you come to Chonai, I would like everyone to experience a one-day course that includes a Yakoshi cruise, lunch at Murakamiya, and a visit to the Chonai Onsen hot springs before heading home. I hope you will fall in love with Chonai.

After lunch, the manager recommends a relaxing trip to Chonai Onsen.
The manager says, "I want the locals to be happy," and "I want them to love their hometown. You can enjoy dishes full of love for Chonai from April to mid-September every year. Lunch only is also available, as well as overnight stays, so why not visit Chonai this summer and enjoy its charms to the fullest?
