Amigen is a ryokan-style guesthouse on Toba's Osatsu coast facing Matoya Bay, serving local dishes made with fish landed fresh from the shore, home-grown rice, and pesticide-free vegetables. Its kaiseki course features spiny lobster and abalone alongside dishes like tai no amazu ankake (sea bream in sweet vinegar sauce) and tako-meshi (octopus rice), and the house specialty is a whole sea bream deep-fried until crisp and topped with a sweet vinegar glaze. It is run by an owner who fishes himself and his wife, in an unpretentious, homely style.
