“Top pick for fresh local seafood”
Review of Jun no Banya

Ranked #1 of 44 Restaurants in Rausu-cho
Restaurant details
Reviewed 15 July 2018 via mobile

Rausu is a small fishers town on Shiretoko peninsular. However this place can easily beat many restos from the big cities! Really great selection of locally sourced seafood, everything is right from the water. Recommend to go for one tei-shoku set per person and perhaps a seasonal sashimi to share. Prices are very very reasonable for what you get. Count ca 2,500 per person. Worth it 100%!
Owners are very friendly and happy to help selecting the current specialties.

Good food, fresh seafood. Most of the customers are local person. We brought a crab in the seafood market near by, the owner direct us to here. Otherwise we may miss the good place.

I don't even know the name of the eatery we went to! But when I google best restaurants in Rausu, out came Jun no Banya and I recognised the picture. I read the reviews and realised that we just "stumbled" into a good dining place! That's why I copied the title of Serendipity from a reviewer who goes by the name of AHA2006. The review was made in 2014. Thanks :)

We were in Rausu on 22 May 2017 and it was a rainy day. Earlier in the morning we had to cut short our visit to the Shiretoko 5 lakes due to the rain. Then we drove across the Shiretoko Pass to Rausu. With plenty of time to spare before our "KIller whale" cruise, we drove past the seafood market and decided to check it out. Of the many stalls we randomly chose one to ask about the sea urchin & crabs. We found out that the stall also run a restaurant nearby and we could buy the fresh seafood from the market and eat them at the restaurant. So we bought a box of sea urchin (Jpy2,500) and a big hairy crab (Jpy3,500).

By the time we got to the restaurant it started to rain again. I could only managed to take one picture of the restaurant outside! Indeed this place has character and charm. The interior decor is old school and has a number of antiques like a heater with a black kettle, etc.

The menu is quite good and price is reasonable. We also ordered the ikura-don from them. They very quickly chopped up the crab and served it together with the sea urchin plus rice and miso soup for us. The seafood was superb, very very fresh. Needless to say the sea urchin was so so sweet! Never eaten so much sea urchin before! Our driver is from Sapporo, told us that we would have to pay at least double the price in Sapporo. So happy with such a good fine! He also told us that Jun no Banya was used for location shoot for a very popular tv serial years ago.

Highly recommend Jun no Banya.

You maybe taken back when you first arrive at the restaurant. Once you are inside, you can feel it is a place that was set up with much care and love. It is quaint and small but the owner has put in a lot of thoughts in decorating the place. The few ladies that are serving in the restaurant are friendly.

Do not miss the Kinki fish which are normally very expensive and small in Singapore! Here, you can get a big one superbly prepared for under $40. The fresh sea urchin is also something you do not want to miss!

Rausu is very small fishing village, not much selections of food or meals.
Luckily we've read all the reviews. Btw, thanks for all information and recommendations. And it is true! This is
the right place to go for seafood in Rausu.
Beside sashimi, they also sell steam fish.
We had it and found that its really fresh and yummy.

The exterior view of this restaurant is very colorful, kinky and funny but make it's looks very unique and just standing alone beside the corner of main road.
The atmosphere of this restaurant was warm and very romantic ya-tai feel when u seated inside.

I guessed beside the food, this is another attraction point should go when u r in Rausu.
