Relaxing Space

Kanihachi sits right in front of the Echizen Coast. In our clean, relaxing dining room you can enjoy a leisurely meal and a truly special moment.

The owner is a former sumo wrestler (ring name: Kochomon), and the restaurant displays precious photographs and handprints of yokozuna grand champions and other wrestlers he is connected with. Be sure to take a look at those huge handprints when you visit. We welcome you with Echizen's freshest ingredients, the best of our skills, and heartfelt hospitality.
