Magochatei

Magochatei serves lunch in Atami. This restaurant was opened by a long-established Japanese inn, Yamaki Ryokan. Magochatei offers regional cuisine known as Magocha, which were originally meals for fishermen on their fishing boats. It is a bowl of rice with soy-marinated tuna slices on top that is served with hot green tea poured over the bowl. Magochatei serves special Magocha, poured the original dashi (Japanese savory stock) instead of green tea. This stock is so tasty that you will feel like drinking it to the last drop!

Special Dashi Poured on Rice

It is no exaggeration to say that dashi is the essence of Magocha's flavor. The dashi, one of Magochatei's specialties, is made from Kombu （kelp） and Katsuobushi （dried bonito flakes）. Using this dashi is the best way to bring out the flavor of tuna arranged on the rice. You'll never get tired of eating dishes with the pleasant savory taste of the dashi.
