Restaurant TOKI
No trip to Japan is complete without sampling the local cuisine. Plemty of little restaurants in the Iwami region have plastic food outside that you can point to, and lots of menus have pictures, too. If you're confronted with a menue covered in Kanji, use these magic words "osusume wa nan desuka?" (What do you recomend?) In this district, traditional old houses are arranged along the road and nature can be seen everywhere. On the main street in Yunotsu, there are several restaurants. This page features one of the nicest restaurants TOKI. As you walk along the street, you can see a wooden signboard on which the restaurant’s name ‘TOKI’ is written by hand.
The building is a traditional Japanese house that used to be a watch store run by the owner’s grandparents.
A big old clock on the pillar is actually not working and there is a small memo attached to the clock saying “It’s not working. Please take your time without any time pressure.” This is why the restaurant is named TOKI, time in Japanese.
When you step into the restaurant, you see the store has some pretty accessories, bags, ornaments and many other things. The owner makes some of them herself and you can buy them if you want.

The restaurant serves homemade rice. The rice is sun-dried. This traditional style of preparing rice takes more time than usual, bringing out the best flavors of the rice. In addition, they use local farm milk and kudzu starch and homemade syrup from brown sugar. The owner is dedicated to use local foods. This is one of the many reasons why people love this restaurant's natural taste.
If you have any allergies or if there are any foods you don’t like, feel free to ask, they are very kind and will likely prepare something special to meet your needs.
