On Hakatajima, there are many seamen even now, and shipping and sea building are the main business. The host of Minshuku Uzushio used to be a seaman. And every time his ship passed by Atami (famous place for hot spring near Tokyo) and watched lights of ryokyans, he dreamed of having his own inn. Then he started this minshuku 30 years ago.
At that time, Okami, wife of the host and inn manager, didn't know how to run a inn but she says she did the best she could. All her efforts led to today's Uzushio and the guests can see her confidence and pride in it. Okami cooks together with junior Okami, and laugh together with guests. Her cheerful and casual approach to guests unwinds the minds of the guests.
The most attractive feature is the meals. Uzushio has preserve tank to provide fresh fish for the variety dishes; sashimi, cooked with sauce, fries, one-pot dish, grilled etc.
Deluxe course with 2 persons or more (one night with 2 meals/ 11,000 yen) and above course will have sashimi that decorated as a fish and it looks gorgeous. Some of food like miso, pickles and some vegetable are home made. The guests would know how Okami takes good care of not only fish but also other food. Even though the quality and quantity of the food are high, the prices are set low. The guests can fully enjoy fish form the Seto Inland Sea with reasonable price.
After one night stay, the word Okami said, "Sea is delicious!", made sense to me. And I felt some kind of connection with people on the island and felt like it was coming home.
