Miyazaki is a renowned Japanese restaurant in Fukui City, known for its focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Formerly located in a busy entertainment district, the restaurant has relocated to a rapidly developing area near the train station. Upon entering, guests are first welcomed into a space called Ma-no-ma, a tranquil antechamber designed for waiting. Here, a chigusa stone tsukubai or water basin along with a stone bench set the tone in conjunction with cloakroom doors crafted from solid camphor wood.

The atmosphere is serene, as if one were in a stone garden, quiet yet filled with the primal energy of the earth. In contrast to the introverted entrance, the main dining area opens into a refined 8 seat counter. The walls are finished with richly textured juraku plaster, while the flooring, softly lit from below, adds warmth. The counter itself is crafted from solid zelkova and cypress wood and is placed at the same level as the chef’s counter to maintain an intimate, comfortable distance between chef and guest.

A original Echizen washi paper covered large wall mounted light source  gently diffuses light through the space, and at the front, a ceramic panel kamado hearth adds both a focal point and a sense of rootedness. Through harmony between nature’s logic and human sensibility, a space emerges where exquisitely crafted details can breathe. This is a place steeped in aesthetic consciousness, resonating with the restaurant’s delicate cuisine to offer a once in a lifetime dining experience.
