Miyamaso styles itself a ‘hut of the unique flavours of wild grasses’, declaring the restaurant’s role. Hisato Nakahigashi gives thanks to the life growing in the mountains, expressing the natural beauty of Hanase through tsumikusa cuisine. Though woven from mountain ingredients, the menu incorporates seafood such as tilefish and mackerel, honouring the history of the Saba Highway, the fish shipping route that links Wakasa with Kyoto. The majesty of nature and the graceful service of the proprietress heal the soul.
