I went on a holiday night, and the restaurant was very popular with almost all foreign customers. It seems to be popular on overseas review sites. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice and stylish. I had the snow course, and every dish was delicious without any misses. The sashimi was especially delicious, so I recommend ordering it even if you don't get the course. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again when I'm in Jinbocho.

I went to a Japanese restaurant targeting foreigners. The prices were high and the taste was catered towards non-Japanese. I went in without much thought, but it turned out to be a Japanese restaurant. The seating was cramped, and they recommended sashimi, but I only ordered tempura and asked for the check. As expected, the tempura was large, oily, and had a taste geared towards foreigners. The prices were high, and I had a bad feeling about the sashimi, so I left after just having the tempura. I should have done some research before casually going in. It was a mistake.

It had been a long time since I visited this flower shop, but the flowers were definitely better in the past! It seems like they are trying too hard to cater to foreigners, which makes it feel cheap. Despite that, it is still popular among foreign visitors. I ordered a white wine glass since it's a seafood restaurant, but there weren't many options and the white wine wasn't particularly good. I might save it for when guests from overseas visit!

Work is done and some of my friends are in the mood for drinks. We noticed that the bottles are quite cheap, around 2,000 yen for both white and red wines! It's unbelievable, like a dream come true. We ordered dishes like corn tempura, assorted sashimi, crab gratin, and delicious tuna collar. The food was a hit and we had great conversations while enjoying about 5 bottles of wine among 4 of us. It's been 6 years since we last did this, but it was amazing. Thank you for the feast!

A popular restaurant that is always bustling with people. The atmosphere is lively and not really for those looking for a quiet, relaxed setting. The dishes using fish have a distinct flavor and there are also non-raw options available, which is why there are many foreign customers. One of the reasons it is popular is not only the delicious food, but also the coordinated service of the staff. During my visit, the person in front of us at the counter gave clear instructions to the other staff while naturally and nicely engaging with us at the right moments. I highly recommend this place as one of the restaurants I would like to visit again. (It is advisable to make a reservation since it is a popular place. The restaurant is not very spacious, so it's better to keep your belongings compact. The dish made with a whole tuna collar was delicious.)

On the evening of June 18, 2022 (Saturday), I went to dinner with my partner. After watching a test match at Chichibu Palace, we went to Shibuya and walked towards Kamiyama direction to try out this restaurant. It's a place we both really like and we even hosted a Bossa Nova party here before. It had been almost 10 years since our last visit. Today, we decided to go back for a specific reason. This restaurant is known for attracting overseas celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, and Dan Carter. We knew that Dan Carter was in Tokyo today, so we thought he might come to this place, and that's one of the reasons we decided to revisit after so long. We wanted to dine at the "Main" section, but it was fully booked, so we were seated at the "Pipe" area on the right side. We ordered draft beer, a mini assortment of sashimi for two (2,100 yen), and tuna collar spare ribs (1,320 yen). The sashimi included fatty tuna, lean tuna, madai, hirame, seared sawara, aori ika, and kanpachi. It was delicious, especially with the thick cuts of fish enhancing the flavor. The tuna collar spare ribs with black vinegar sauce were also quite tasty. We were informed of a seasonal menu item, tempura-fried corn, which we also ordered and enjoyed. We had five glasses of draft beer between the two of us, and the total bill came to 9,152 yen, slightly higher than we expected due to the prices being pre-tax. Despite the cost, the food was as delicious as ever, and the restaurant maintained its high standards. By the way, the woman who introduced me to this place was around the same age as me, maybe a little older. She brought me to this restaurant during a casual night out in Shibuya. During that time, I shared a story about the night I saw the most shooting stars in my life. It was on August 12, 1985, when I was a second-year university student working night shifts at a subcontractor factory to save money for a trip to Hokkaido. That night, I saw an unusually high number of shooting stars while taking a break outside and smoking cigarettes. The woman then revealed that she was supposed to be on the JAL flight that crashed that night, but she changed to a direct flight to Fukuoka at the last minute, narrowly avoiding the tragedy. She had more to the story, but it's a tale for another time. Today's new COVID-19 cases were 1,681 in Tokyo, 1,268 in Okinawa, and 1,255 in Osaka, totaling 14,822 nationwide.

It was a shop that many people visited. The staff seemed experienced and were helpful, explaining things in English, even to Japanese customers. We opted for the course menu, which was a great deal and featured a variety of the restaurant's signature dishes. It was the right choice. The sashimi, fried rice, miso soup, and homemade sakura gelato were all delicious.

A seafood izakaya located in the bustling area of Kansen Station. The interior is spacious and lively, with energetic staff. We ordered fish fry, meat sushi, fried eggplant, and fish head soup. All were delicious. A high-quality izakaya, though slightly on the expensive side.

【Atmosphere】The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are cheerful, which is lovely. 【Price】Around 5000 yen per person (excluding alcohol). 【Food】The freshness of the fish seemed good, but I felt like they didn't do enough to bring out the flavor of the fresh fish. Some dishes, like the grilled small fish, were too oily and made me feel queasy. I think they should season the dishes more, like sprinkling some rock salt. 【Recommendations】This place might be popular among foreigners looking to try Japanese cuisine. It could also be a decent option for a date night.

A shop located right near Kinka-ya Izumi Station. The interior is decorated with surfboards and photos from overseas, giving it a feeling of being abroad. The staff at the shop all have a strong presence, maybe they are all surfers haha. I had the Harasu set for lunch. The fatty Harasu was a bit salty, but it went perfectly with the rice. I could eat as much rice as I wanted. The set also came with dashimaki tamago and shredded cabbage, making it a filling lunch. Order - Harasu set ¥990 (tax included)

The weather was clear when I walked 3 minutes from Kizukawa Station. It is recommended to walk as the parking lot is far away. This famous shop in the Kizukawa area, with a very colorful exterior, is located very close to Kizukawa Station. Recently, it seems that many foreigners are visiting, and it always seems to be full both day and night, but due to the coronavirus, it was about half full during lunch. I ordered the market-style tuna middle-cut set meal. It came with tuna soup, so it felt like a good deal, and the soup was delicious. The main tuna middle-cut set meal had a raw egg yolk on top, two types of green onions, and fried tempura bits, making it delicious even when eaten together with rice in a Yukke-style. Considering the speed and set, it feels like quite a good deal.

At the 【Kaika-ya】 seafood restaurant in Kamizawa, the unique exterior caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant has been in business since 1985, so it has been operating for over 35 years. They offer free Wi-Fi, and there are many foreign customers. The restaurant's signage is also written in English, with cute illustrations that I personally love. - 【Haikara】 for 1,000 yen: A dish of marinated beef with toppings like tempura, green onions, and egg yolk. Mix it well before eating. The tempura adds a nice touch, and it goes well with alcohol, but it also makes you crave for a hot bowl of rice. - 【Nigiri Sushi with Marbled Wagyu Beef】 for 1,600 yen: The restaurant used to offer meat lunches, and they also serve nigiri sushi made with Wagyu beef. The owner has been in the food and beverage industry since he was 16 years old and seems to have a background at "Nadaman." - 【Scallop Risotto with Crispy Rice】 for 1,200 yen: A menu that looks delicious just from its name. It is a risotto with Gorgonzola cheese topped with scallops and baked. It seems like a perfect match for wine. On this day, we ordered a la carte, but they also offer set courses for 3,800 yen, 4,800 yen, and 5,800 yen.

I have made a reservation for 18:00 at a flower shop that I have visited countless times. I love this place because they have so many delicious dishes that I always end up eating too much. The staff are all kind and fun, making it my favorite restaurant. Everything I order is always good, but my usual choices are the Hong Kong-style shrimp, crab miso gratin, tuna collar spare ribs, and corn tempura. I also choose other dishes based on my mood that day. I will definitely come back again!

This restaurant is popular among foreigners and has a slightly foreign atmosphere inside. According to the staff, they buy fresh and sharp-edged sashimi from the market every morning. I forgot to take a picture, but the miso soup at the end is recommended. One bowl can serve about three people. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is warm. It's a bit of a walk from Shibuya Station, but it's definitely worth the time and effort to get there.

I was taken to this restaurant by a foreign friend. The place was filled with mostly foreign people enjoying their meals and chatting loudly, giving off a vibe of "where are we?" We were seated at a large table, and even though the space was tight, it made it easy to strike up conversations with the people next to us. The restaurant was bustling, but the atmosphere was really nice. The staff were also very friendly. I wasn't expecting much from the food since it was full of foreigners, but it turned out to be really delicious. The portions were generous for the price, and the flavors were great. I think the food must appeal to foreigners. I would love to visit this restaurant again.

The mini sashimi platter is plentiful and delicious. The grilled tuna collar is excellent, with a great sauce. The monkfish liver with gorgonzola is amazing. The meal ends with delicious pickled vegetable fried rice and miso soup with plenty of fish stock. The miso soup is so good you can have multiple servings. For dessert, there is coconut ice cream and jelly, both excellent. A restaurant worth visiting again.

Established in 1985, this seafood izakaya seems to cater mainly to foreign tourists, judging by the clientele and the atmosphere and menu of the restaurant. The dishes here are more like "Japanese cuisine from a foreigner's perspective," so those expecting authentic Japanese cuisine may be disappointed. The cost performance is not particularly great, making this restaurant more suitable for a special occasion or as a souvenir of your trip. Some recommended dishes include tuna collar spare ribs and steamed chicken with spicy oil.

Near Kamiizumi Station, there is a popular restaurant called "Kaikaya by the sea" where you can find pictures of Hollywood stars like Julianne Moore and Leonardo DiCaprio who have visited. The restaurant is known for its English-speaking staff, smooth service, and English menu. It was even selected as a popular izakaya among foreign visitors on TripAdvisor. Although the sashimi and fish dishes are recommended, the portions seem to be large for solo diners, and the staff may not be very flexible. However, as I was leaving, I noticed a young foreign woman dining alone being offered a smaller portion in English. This made me, a middle-aged Japanese woman, feel a bit left out. I may reconsider visiting again in the future.

It had been a long time since I had a meeting in Shibuya, so I decided to visit Kamiyama and then go to Kaika-ya. It had been about 7 years since my last visit. There were more foreign tourists in the streets than before, making it feel like a foreign land. The seating seemed narrower than before... The dishes were all delicious with an impressive lineup. The timing of the dishes coming out was just right, and the service was good with veteran staff making it a comfortable atmosphere. The cost performance was not the best, but I had a good meal, so it was worth it.

It's been about a year since I last visited this restaurant! It's as busy as ever, with lots of customers (*´ω`*) I feel like there are even more foreigners now than before... But there's definitely a reason why people keep coming here! The staff are always busy but still friendly and fun, and of course, the quality of the fish, I mean, the dishes are amazing! They serve dishes that feel familiar yet unique to this place, and that's what makes them special (*´ω`*) Of course, I can't forget to order the carpaccio to start, with a beer or highball in hand! And the shrimp-filled stick dumplings are a must, crispy and delicious with a sip of alcohol! It's pure bliss (￣∀￣) And don't forget to order the shrimp chili too! Today, Kukaenya was delicious as always!
