Located on the first floor of the Shinjuku Washington Hotel, "Zauo" is a restaurant where you can have your freshly caught fish prepared for you. Red snapper and striped jack are caught using bait, while the other fish are caught by hook. Today, we had a great catch with spiny lobster, abalone, horse mackerel, turban shell, conger eel, and flounder. Unfortunately, we didn't catch any sea bream. Our table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes. We also ordered a tempura assortment as an extra. Despite the lively drumming sounds in the background, I couldn't hear the waiter's explanation clearly, but I nodded along anyway.

Shinjuku, located on the first floor of the Washington Hotel, is a restaurant where you can fish for fish in a fish tank and have it prepared in various ways, making it convenient for families with children. Parents can also enjoy drinks without worry. In addition to a variety of dishes, there are two types of fishing available: bait fishing and hook fishing. Once you catch a fish, you must eat it, as releasing it is not allowed. It can get expensive if you catch a big fish, so be careful if you go on an empty stomach. Another thing to note is that there are loud announcements with drums each time someone catches a fish, which can be a bit noisy for others. Many people were celebrating birthdays when I visited. Overall, it's a great restaurant with high entertainment value for families to enjoy together.

I had always wanted to visit this restaurant that had been featured on TV. This was my first visit, and I had some time to spare before my reservation, so I killed time at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building South Observatory. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor of the Washington Hotel, just a 1-minute walk from the exit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building No. 2. I had reserved a course with all-you-can-drink for 3 hours at 9700 yen. When I entered the restaurant, I noticed seats shaped like boats and a fish tank around them. A lively waiter guided me and gave me an explanation. First, we went fishing. The fishing here is not about feeding fish bait, but about hooking almost motionless fish in the fish tank, like gang fishing. It felt like a real-life version of a children's fishing game. And when you catch a fish, they celebrate by beating a drum. We ordered flounder, turban shell, and abalone, all served as sashimi. For the flounder, you can also have half of it cooked in simmered or fried style. Back at our table, the sashimi arrived incredibly fast. The boat-shaped flounder sashimi had a great presentation and was very satisfying in terms of volume. The turban shell was crunchy and delicious. However, the abalone was a bit disappointing as it was small in size. The course menu was also quite fulfilling. The restaurant was always lively with children's voices and drum sounds, creating a summer festival-like atmosphere. It was a fun place to enjoy as an attraction, although not suitable for a quiet dining experience.

We used this place for a family gathering. There was one junior high student, one elementary school student, and four toddlers, so I thought it would be fun for them to go fishing. However, depending on the fish you catch, it can be a bit pricey, so be careful. We instructed the kids to each catch a reasonable priced horse mackerel, and they had a great time fishing in the tank where the horse mackerel were. The high-end fish are caught with bait, but horse mackerel and turban shells are caught by hooking them, which is relatively easy even for kids. Overall, the food was average, but the entertainment value was very high, making it a great experience for the kids. Thank you for the meal!

I used it for a friend's birthday party. In conclusion, it was a very excellent restaurant. The staff provided solid support until the fish was caught, so it may take some time, but it's recommended to try your best to catch it to make it more exciting. The fish we caught was immediately prepared, and the sashimi and sushi were very fresh and delicious. The high freshness of the fish makes it a good choice for simply using it as a fish izakaya as well. However, the prices are a bit high. The birthday service seems to be popular, as there were about 5 celebrations happening at the same time. I would like to use it again if there is another event.

I made a reservation for 11:30 on Sunday. It's a bit inconvenient location, but it was quickly filled up. There were many families. The children caught flounder, horse mackerel, and conger eel, so we had the flounder as sashimi, fried chicken, horse mackerel tempura, and conger eel tempura. We also ordered Thai rice cooked in a pot and poke bowl. The freshly caught fish tasted delicious. It was a good experience for the children to eat the fish they caught. Thank you for the meal~

We reserved a private room for about 8 people at a company party. I had seen this place on social media before and was curious, but seeing it in person was really exciting! This place doesn't offer all-you-can-fish, but operates on a ticket system where you can catch fish and have them prepared in various ways for you to enjoy! After receiving an explanation about the system, we were ready to start fishing. There were so many fish! Lobster and sea bream can be quite expensive, but fish like striped jack were reasonably priced. However, it was quite challenging to catch them! It seemed like they were all full or just ignoring the bait in front of them. After a while of trying, we finally caught one! The staff quickly came over to help and even took a commemorative photo. They asked us how we wanted the fish cooked, and we chose to have it grilled and simmered. It was so fresh and delicious, having been swimming just moments before! Catching shrimp was also difficult but fun. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we didn't realize how much time had passed. We had opted for all-you-can-drink, but we were told it was already last order after just one drink! This restaurant offers a fun and unique experience of fishing while enjoying delicious food and drinks. It's a perfect place for a party!

We had a great time with the kids at a large boat or aquarium where we could catch fish. There were many fish like striped bass, red snapper, and flounder swimming in the tanks. We borrowed fishing rods through a LINE registration service and quickly caught red snapper with my eldest and second son. We asked for one to be served as sashimi and the other fried, and both were delicious. You can choose from a selection of fish that you catch. My youngest son also caught a striped bass, which wasn't as good as the red snapper, but still enjoyable. Even though the kids don't usually eat raw fish at conveyor belt sushi restaurants, they found the sashimi delicious, so fresh fish must be tasty. The menu besides the fish you catch is affordable, like a typical izakaya, so my growing boys found it a bit lacking and we ended up eating ramen nearby on the way home. This place is popular with inbound tourists and has a lively atmosphere like a festival. It's worth a visit as an experience for kids.

The fish is delicious, as expected from a place where they catch and prepare it right away. However, the sauces like the one for the fried fish or the mayonnaise for the grilled lobster are not very tasty. It's definitely a restaurant focused on entertainment. The place is always noisy, with many people celebrating birthdays. It might be more suitable for tourists.

Shinjuku is a place where you can fish for your own fish, choose how you want it cooked, and eat it on the spot. The price varies depending on the type of fish you catch, so you might end up catching an expensive fish. Going with friends can be fun even if you don't catch anything, just talking about what you caught can be entertaining. The only downside is that it can be difficult to eat all the fish if each person catches one, but overall it's a fun place to spend time.

Today, as February comes to an end, I had lunch at "Sauo" for the second time this year. This time I ordered the following: - Grilled fish set meal (red snapper) for ¥900. The red snapper had a faint aroma of sake lees and was very easy to eat, which I liked. The rice was shiny and very good today. They even asked, "Would you like some after-coffee?" and brought it to my table, even though it's self-service. That's one of the nice things about Sauo. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is my nth visit to this restaurant. My cousin's daughter loves the atmosphere and the fact that you can fish here, so we come here occasionally. The main attraction is being able to catch your own fish and eat it on the spot. The taste and cost performance may not be outstanding, but the highlight of this restaurant is the theme park-like experience of being able to fish.

After a month and a half, I went to "Zauo" again. I couldn't decide between grilled fish or simmered fish, but I chose the grilled fish set meal with salted mackerel for ¥900. Zauo serves the fish with the skin facing up. The skin comes off easily without any cuts, so you can eat it first before moving on to the flesh. It was juicy and easy to remove the small bones, which was good. The miso soup was also flavorful, which I liked. Thank you for the meal.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and recommended for those seeking a themed izakaya experience. It is not recommended for those looking for quality food or good value for money, but rather for those seeking a different experience, such as trying their hand at fishing. Forget about cost-effectiveness. Think of it as paying for the entertainment experience of having fresh fish prepared in front of you. Fishing can take up a lot of time, so it may be difficult to fully enjoy your meal or conversation. The dishes are often left unattended, making it challenging to both enjoy the food and have a good time. Additionally, the cleaning may not be up to par due to factors such as using bait, intoxicated customers wandering around, and the staff being overburdened. However, the restroom is usually clean. Overall, dining while watching fish in a large tank can be a great experience.

Three people spent 27,000 yen at Shimaji. We had fried fish, sashimi, fried chicken, and miso soup. The fried fish, sashimi, and miso soup were good. The simmered flounder, sushi, simmered fish bones, and fish bone crackers were delicious. The blueberry vinegar with soy milk was tasty. The sea bream is priced differently depending on the size, around 3000, 4500, or 8800 yen.

I was invited to a shop where you can fish and it looked like fun. As soon as I entered, I saw foreigners fishing in a live fish tank. It seems to be popular with foreigners. Children, adults, and couples were all fishing and having fun. You can turn the fish you catch into sashimi, fried fish, or rice dishes. I wanted to try eating rockfish, but unfortunately it wasn't available. I was happy to be able to choose soy sauce from Kyushu. I had a great time.

⭐️Shinjuku Tochomae Station, 1st floor of Shinjuku Washington Hotel⭐️⭐️Entertainment Izakaya where you can go fishing⭐️The restaurant has a waterway running through it, with seating designed to look like fishing boats in the center. There are also many private rooms around the waterway. You can fish using the fishing tickets included in the course, and have the fish you catch prepared as sashimi, fried, tempura, simmered, or grilled. The price and number of fishing tickets vary depending on the type of fish, such as sea bream, horse mackerel, striped jack, flounder, spiny lobster, abalone, turban shell, clam, and prawn. Prices range from 14,000 yen for spiny lobster to 6,800 yen for striped jack. Fish are caught instantly when you drop your line, leading to cheers. The fish on the sashimi platter even move their heads and tails, adding to the excitement. A truly enjoyable dining experience.

Today, I had lunch at "Zauo" for the first time in a long time. It has been about 5 months since July. It was past 12 o'clock and there were quite a few customers in the restaurant. For the first time, I was guided to a private room at the back of the fishing space. This time, I ordered the following: Grilled Fish Set Meal (Salt-Grilled Atka Mackerel) - ¥900 It was easy to pick the meat cleanly with chopsticks, making it easy to eat and delicious. If I were to be picky, a little more grated daikon would have been even better. Thank you for the meal.

I have always wanted to try an amusement-themed izakaya. It was smaller than I thought, but I was able to enjoy myself enough. It was more about the fun of fishing and having them cook it in your favorite way on the spot, rather than the taste. It was very satisfying! The ability to choose how you want your catch cooked, regardless of whether you caught what you wanted, was enjoyable. I recommend it to those who are tired of regular restaurants. The staff were also very friendly!

My nephews are visiting Shinjuku, so we decided to have lunch at this restaurant where you can catch fish in a tank, which is sure to make the kids happy. They offer lunch sets with sashimi and sushi. I didn't know this, but you can also order from the a la carte menu during lunchtime. This was a pleasant surprise. Adults can enjoy drinks, and there are many private rooms for a relaxing atmosphere. It's a restaurant where both kids and adults can have a great time.
