* "Octopus" from Awaji Island
The seas around Awaji Island are one of the areas with the fastest tidal currents in Japan. Because the octopus grows enduring those currents, its legs are thick and short, and its flesh is firm and highly elastic. The texture, where the umami spreads the more you chew, is highly evaluated by chefs.
The seas around Awaji Island are rich in nutritious foods such as shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. Because they grow eating these, the appeal of the common octopus from Awaji Island is its sweetness and deep umami.

Inside "Mikeya"
Plenty of Awaji Island's seasonal ingredients on a delicate yet luxurious plate.
The appeal of "Mikeya" is its wide range of menus, from Japanese to Western food, generously using seasonal ingredients from Awaji Island. True to the words, "So that you can thoroughly taste the ingredients," Awaji beef is cut thickly, and sea bream, Spanish mackerel, and whitebait from Awaji Island also make a plentiful appearance.
What is a good value is not just the volume. Paying attention to how the seasonal Awaji rice is cooked and how the broth is extracted, you can encounter a dish whose deliciousness has been further deepened through careful cooking and ingenuity.
