Ponta

Very delicious seafood. The sushi plate and seafood bowl tasted very fresh during lunchtime. Very warm and toasty indoors on a dark rainy day. The food was so tasty and well-presented. I want to comment that the design/atmosphere inside the restaurant is also very stylish and comforting. It is easy to relax and enjoy seafood here during a winter drive through the area.

Delicious seafood restaurant run by very a friendly and warm japanese couple. Highly recommend!

The Fairfield by Marriott Kyoto Amanohashidate where we stayed in Miyazu, that recommends this restaurant for dinner. Not many places open for dinner on a Sunday night in Miyazu. The guy and lady are very nice and friendly, tried very hard to explain the dishes in English. Had the sashimi set, tastes so good and up to standards.

We are staying at the Fairfield by Marriott in Miyazu and on check in we were given a list of recommended izakayas/restaurants to visit. We settled on Ponta and on arrival we were warmly greeted and invited to sit at the bar. The atmosphere here is comforting and cosy with large bar tops of warm wood, cushioned chairs and multiple tatami floored seating areas for dining. The owner and chef explained the menu to us and his English was jouzu. I ordered a regular set meal and couldn't have been happier. Sashimi, grilled aji, cold noodles, fluffy rice, a dark soy miso soup and pickles. My partner ordered the premium set of nigiri and we were both blown away by the flavours and tenderness of the fish. Everything was delicious. Our thanks to the owners of Ponta for a wonderful dining experience. We also had a bottle of dry sake sourced locally from Miyazu and a delicious whiskey highball! Highly recommend.

Came here with one toddler and a four yo kid. There were bar tables and we were allocated a tatami seating room. Most restaurants are full but lady who speaks zero English made us felt welcomed. We tried to communicate with my basic Japanese and she was very patient with us, smiling all the way. Price was a lil high but this is as local as you can get. Overall very homely, cozy and local vibe, complete opposite to the touristy spots in most restaurants. Had a great time here. Boss tried to speak a bit of English which was nice :) I think this restaurant deserves a bit of attention from the tourists!

A local fish dishes restaurant. Delicious local fish set dinner, pleasant and warm atmosphere. Run by a pleasant couple, communication with my limited Japanese and their limited English words, enjoyed the food and courtesy. English menu available! Oh! Free parking available right next to restaurant. (Drived around the area searching for food, gave up trying other restaurants as didn't find proper parking space near them!)

Worth coming! we didnt eat sashimi but google translated and the friendly owner/chef spoke a little english. I would definitely recommend people try out their grilled fishes. Even the atmosphere was authentic

Fantastic. Owner and his wife are great people. He was happy to chat and talk about the food. All locally fresh caught. Delicious. Let him choose a nice sake to go with your meal. Highly recommend.
