A Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy Aomori's local cuisine and local sake made with seasonal ingredients in a relaxing Japanese atmosphere.

Located along the main street, Sumishin Hayashi has been in Hon-Hachinohe for about a year and is a popular restaurant that attracts many local customers thanks to the owner's personality. The modern and stylish exterior creates an air of luxury.

There is a wide selection of local sake, so if you let them know your preferences, they will be able to choose one that will go well with your meal. On this day, we tried the limited edition Mutsu Hassen sake, "Ura Hassen." It has a fruity sweetness, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing, making it a gorgeous, pleasant drink.

"Ichigo-ni (market price)" has its roots in the time when fishermen would pile up and eat the sea urchins and abalone they had harvested. It is one of the local dishes that gives a sense of Aomori's climate and history.

Made with northern purple sea urchin and abalone from Hachinohe, the dish is carefully steamed in Aomori seawater, sake, and kelp water to bring out the natural umami of the ingredients and give them a subtle salty flavor.

The smooth texture and rich flavor of the sea urchin, and the firm elasticity and rich umami of the abalone are amazing! It's a luxurious combination that spreads happiness the moment you put it in your mouth. It's a dish that truly represents the bounty of Aomori's seafood.

Kuraishi beef is a brand of beef that has been crowned number one in Japan. The "Aomori Kuraishi beef steak (market price)" is a must-try dish, cooked to perfection.

The meat is soft and the fat is finely grained, and the sweetness and richness spreads in your mouth as the fat melts. The deliciousness of the meat spreads with every bite, and the melting texture is truly exquisite. You can change the flavor with the mustard and garlic chips that come with it, which adds to the enjoyment of eating.

The chef's personality is reflected in the warm atmosphere of the restaurant, where you can spend a comfortable time. If you come to Aomori, please visit this restaurant.
