幸鮨

Scout Verified

Shirahama's most trusted sushi shop — 50 years, daily local sourcing, and TripAdvisor's #3 in town. Try the kutsu-ebi (Oct-Apr), a rare local shrimp said to be sweeter than ise-ebi. Perfect paired with a Shirahama beach day.

Things to Consider

More kappo than pure sushi counter — seating is mid-scale and the vibe is resort-casual rather than intimate omakase. Nigiri ratio depends on what you order.
