Known for its Saba sushi (mackerel sushi), the restaurant offers a traditional dining experience in a serene, rustic setting reminiscent of a mountain retreat. The restaurant's name, "Hanaori," is derived from the name of a nearby mountain pass, adding to its quaint charm. The menu features expertly prepared Saba sushi, highlighting the balance between rice and mackerel. The aburi sushi (lightly seared mackerel sushi) is highly recommended for its smoky flavor. This establishment is best visited during the afternoon to enjoy a leisurely meal in a tranquil atmosphere. Note that the restaurant is only accessible via the Saba Kaido road.
