Because busy mornings deserve truly satisfying moments. A new restaurant perfect for treating yourself or bringing someone special opened on December 26, 2025, just 2 minutes walk from JR Sannomiya Station.
“Hanikamu” is a teishoku specialty restaurant open from 8 AM, already gaining attention for its slightly luxurious breakfast incorporating kaiseki cuisine elements. We experienced a special morning filled with the crackling sounds of fat sizzling over charcoal and the savory aroma of caramelizing sauce.
Kaiseki Cuisine on a Single Tray
Hanikamu’s concept is “kaiseki cuisine on a single tray.” The set meal, composed of small portions of many dishes, is visually beautiful and designed to perfectly complement rice.
Currently, the menu features only one item: Pork Miso Soup and Charcoal-Grilled Silver Salmon Set (1,980 yen). While the price might seem high at first glance, one look at what’s included makes it understandable.
Magnificent Spread! The Complete Set
The dishes arranged on a single tray are truly magnificent—more than 10 items following kaiseki cuisine composition.
| Course | Item | Special Features |
|---|---|---|
| Sakizuke | Colorful Salad | House-made bagna cauda dressing |
| Mukozuke | Sesame Yellowtail | Signature dish from sister restaurant “Fujimaru” |
| Hiyabachi | Cold Tofu | YACCO Tofu Shop’s green soybeans |
| Azukebachi | Simmered Manila Clams | Slowly simmered to absorb rich umami |
| Yakimono | Yuanyaki Silver Salmon | Secret sauce, charcoal-grilled |
| Mushimono | Dashimaki Tamago & Mentaiko | Handmade dashimaki with Hakata mentaiko |
| Nimono | Baby Turnip with Ankake | Slowly simmered baby turnip |
| Hannmono | White Rice | Takeda Shoten’s select Koshihikari (earthen pot–cooked) |
| Komono | Three Pickles | Nakamura Shoten |
| Tomewan | Pork Miso Soup | Marui Shoten’s domestic pork |
| Chazuke | Silver Salmon Ochazuke | Finished with Kagoshima Chiran tea |
Quality ingredients are sourced from local Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, and across Japan. A delightful bonus is the inclusion of sesame yellowtail, the signature dish from sister restaurant “Fujimaru.”
The Star: Thick-Cut Silver Salmon

The undisputed star of this set is the thick-cut silver salmon.
Fresh enough to eat as sashimi, it’s marinated in a secret sauce and slowly grilled over charcoal.
The surface is crispy and aromatic, while inside it remains surprisingly moist. This perfect cooking technique maximizes the sauce flavor and salmon’s natural umami, making it impossible to stop eating rice.
The Final Treat: Luxurious Chirancha Ochazuke
Finally, save some silver salmon for ochazuke with Kagoshima Chirancha tea—the climactic “final treat” of this meal.
When the refined Chirancha tea is poured over the charcoal-grilled salmon, a new dimension of flavor emerges. The sauce’s sweetness harmonizes exquisitely with the tea’s astringency, creating a mysteriously delicious dish that goes down smoothly even when you’re full.
This final bowl deepens the lingering satisfaction of this luxurious breakfast.
Additional Toppings for Extra Indulgence
While the basic set is thoroughly satisfying, additional toppings are available:
- Hokkaido Ikura - 500 yen
- Extra Sesame Yellowtail - 300 yen
Add ikura to your rice for an even more luxurious breakfast, or get extra yellowtail if you’re a fan.
