Motoyama, specializing in Uwajima sea bream rice and eel, is a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto where you can enjoy the local cuisine of Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture. Their signature dish, Uwajima sea bream rice, is prepared in the authentic style using fresh sea bream directly from Ehime, mixed with raw egg.
