About

Nestled on the shores of Lake Kamo, kaneto stands on the very spot where the chef's grandfather once ran a small oyster hut.
The restaurant's name, 'kaneto,' is a nod to that original business, reflecting our deep connection to the region's history and our commitment to preserving its legacy.

By utilizing the area's natural resources, we aim to showcase the beauty of Sado and contribute to a sustainable future, all while providing heartfelt hospitality every day.
