Onomichi Lemon Nabe Project
Introducing a brand new
Onomichi delicacy!

Onomichi's Ikuchijima Island (Setoda) is known as the birthplace of lemons in Japan, and is often dubbed "Lemon Island".
Lemon Nabe is a hot pot dish made with seafood, vegetables, and scattered with Onomichi lemons.
A local delicacy with an appetite-boosting, refreshing, tart flavor loved by those in the know!
With the cooperation of famous local restaurants, the city of Onomichi and Setouchi Palette worked together to come up with a new local delicacy.
Made exclusively with local ingredients for local consumption.
Cooperation: Onomichi City, Onomichi Tourist Association

Bringing out the best flavors of Onomichi lemons
and other local ingredients.

Enjoy… Onomichi Lemon Nabe!

Finish the meal by adding udon or ramen noodles, or rice to make porridge or risotto!
The lemon flavors are addicting, and the perfect dish after a day of cycling.

Onomichi Lemon Nabe cooperating restaurants

Wakaba

A restaurant frequented by the late artist Ikuo Hirayama, whenever he visited his hometown. Wakaba serves delicious, fresh octopus and eel caught locally, and are known for their pressed eel sushi, made with a secret sauce recipe passed down for generations. Their original Lemon Nabe made with plenty of local lemons is also one of their specialty dishes.
Taking advantage of their vast knowledge, we have teamed with Wakaba to develop the basic recipe for our Onomichi Lemon Nabe, based on the guidelines listed above.
