Restaurants in Yaizu

Onjaku holds a Tabelog Gold Award for four consecutive years (2023–2026) and a score of 4.58 — placing it among Japan's most decorated kaiseki restaurants outside the major cities. The tea kaiseki format under chef Daigo Sugiyama runs JPY 20,000–29,999 per head, reservation-only, with private rooms for groups. Booking is easier than the credential stack suggests.

A Tabelog Gold-winning French counter in Yaizu, built around Suruga Bay seafood and running just eight seats. Two consecutive Gold awards (2025, 2026) and a score of 4.56 make this the strongest case for a deliberate stop in Shizuoka. At JPY 15,000–19,999 per head, it delivers award-level French cooking at a price well below comparable Tokyo venues.
