The chef’s pride and joy, the dashi stock, is the key

The essence of Himeji Oden lies in the owner’s three carefully crafted broths.

At the heart of Himeji’s flavors is, above all, the profound depth of its broth.
At our restaurant, we use not only a classic blend of bonito and kelp broth, but also a rare and carefully simmered specialty broth made from conger eel heads.

The harmony of these three broths creates a flavor that is mellow yet robust—so distinctive you can taste the difference in just one sip.

While it pairs perfectly with classics like daikon radish and eggs, it also matches beautifully with Himeji’s unique local ingredients. Add a touch of ginger soy sauce, and the aroma deepens while the layers of flavor unfold.

Experience the craftsmanship infused in our broth, one dish at a time.

Japanese Spirit in Every Bite – The Owner’s Signature Pasta

With years of experience in traditional Japanese cuisine—from kaiseki dining to izakaya fare—our owner brings a unique sensibility to creating original Wa-Pasta (Japanese-style pasta).

Here are three signature dishes that showcase his skill and creativity.


◾️Crab Miso Cream Pasta
A rich blend of crab miso and smooth cream, perfectly entwined for a dish brimming with the umami of the sea.

◾️Meat Miso Bolognese
A hearty plate where savory meat miso, prepared with Japanese seasonings, adds a new depth to the classic Bolognese.

◾️King Prawn Carbonara
Featuring plump, juicy king prawns, this Japanese-style carbonara is rich yet refreshingly light on the finish.

Always Available to Order
Each pasta dish is available at all times. Generously portioned, they’re perfect for sharing with friends. Indulge in these unique creations where Japanese and Western techniques come together—pasta you can only experience here.

The Owner’s Passion: Chicken Sashimi

Kagawa Jidori Chicken Sashimi, the result of 30 years of culinary pursuit

While Hyogo Prefecture is well-known for its “Tanba Jidori,” YURURI has chosen the Kagawa Jidori chicken—personally selected by the owner, who fell in love with its qualities
With over 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry, the owner sampled free-range chicken from all over Japan before discovering this exceptional variety. Its umami, texture, and freshness are second to none.

The highlight is, without doubt, the torisashi (chicken sashimi).

With its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture and refined flavor, it brings out the full potential of premium chicken. Every garnish and seasoning is carefully considered to complement, not overshadow, the natural taste.

This dish embodies YURURI’s dedication to Japanese cuisine and the owner’s heartfelt passion. A must-try for adventurous diners.

And of Course,

Fine Local Sake

Oku-Harima, Banshu Ikkon, Castle of the White Heron, Blue Nothingness, etc.
