Today, I had dinner with a friend at a restaurant known for its sashimi, as my friend is a foreigner who loves Japanese culture. We started with ordering a draft beer and enjoyed the steamed clams served as an appetizer. The clams were cooked perfectly, with a rich flavor that allowed us to fully appreciate the taste of the shellfish. Next, we ordered shallot tempura. The tempura had a unique taste, similar to green onions, but the balance of the thick batter and the strong flavor and texture of the vegetable was surprisingly good. Then, we tried the specialty dish called "tamatebako," where sashimi is presented in a decorative box. It was a traditional presentation that impressed my foreign friend and made them very happy. The sashimi assortment included bonito, young yellowtail, red snapper, bluefin tuna, scallop, sea bream, and raw minced fish, which was luxurious and delicious. The bonito was thickly sliced without any fishy smell, and had a strong umami flavor. The red snapper had a delicate white flesh with a subtle and delicious taste. The bluefin tuna, scallop, and sea bream were all expertly prepared and showcased their deliciousness. The raw minced fish had a perfect balance of fish and miso flavors, making it a delicate and exquisite dish. We switched to highballs after the sashimi, as it paired well with the smooth texture of the dishes. We then tried the crispy fried oysters, which had a crunchy coating while still retaining the flavorful taste of the oysters. It was my favorite type of fried oysters, with a hint of seaweed flavor that I enjoyed. Lastly, we had a gratin with sea urchin and salmon roe, which was a fantastic dish that impressed us with its high quality and unique flavors. Overall, the food was meticulously prepared, delicious, and offered great value for money, allowing us to enjoy a variety of dishes and drinks with peace of mind. It was a great experience hosting my foreign friend and I felt that this is a restaurant I would like to visit again in the future.

Try my ultimate seafood bowl at my restaurant just a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station West Exit! At the Nishi-Shinjuku branch, you can enjoy a seafood bowl and a hearty miso soup for only 1030 yen. I saw the menu release today and decided to visit. The restaurant wasn't too crowded when I arrived around 1:30 pm, and my food arrived in about 10 minutes. The seafood bowl looked just like the pictures, with a mountain of shrimp on top. The staff kindly explained how to eat it, starting with wasabi soy sauce, then egg yolk soy sauce, and finishing with adding broth to make ochazuke. The miso soup was also generous with chicken, daikon, carrots, burdock, and green onions, all for just 50 yen. Despite thinking the bowl might be small, I finished it all and felt completely satisfied. Great value for money, I highly recommend it! Bon appétit!

I commuted to Shinjuku today as well. This time, I tried ordering a course for the first time. The portions were huge and I couldn't finish it all. It might be more suitable for younger people... I realized that I usually drink a lot of alcohol and don't eat much. The dishes included clam soup, seaweed salad, grilled mackerel, seared mackerel, octopus ajillo, tofu simmered in fish broth, fried oysters, 8 pieces of sushi, and dessert. I didn't take photos of everything, but everything was delicious.

I went to "Try Eating My Fish"~ Suddenly met up with friends in the evening and decided to have dinner, so I wandered around Shinjuku Nishiguchi on Sunday without a reservation. I remembered how delicious the seafood bowl was when I had lunch here before, so I managed to enter the restaurant early as it was not too crowded yet. About 40% of the seats were already taken. We decided to order some unusual fish dishes, so we ordered the deep-fried zucchini with sea bream and horse mackerel marinated in vinegar. The grilled small spear squid was also delicious. The vegetable dishes were also tasty! The rare fried horse mackerel that someone else ordered looked delicious too. Thank you for the meal!

I made a reservation for 19:45 again. We started with a toast with beer. We ordered an additional 4 pieces of Tamatebako for the 5 of us, enjoyed a tofu dish with a performance, followed by horse mackerel namero, corn tempura, shiitake mushroom tempura, fried horse mackerel, toro taku, and miso soup with fish broth. I brought a female friend who was visiting this restaurant for the first time, and she quickly became a fan. The sake served in tin sake cups enhanced the flavors even more. Despite the challenges of a business trip to Shinjuku, having this restaurant to look forward to made it enjoyable. I will visit again next week.

I had been interested in this restaurant since it was featured on TV before. I ordered the most popular seafood bowl. All the other customers did the same. As you can see in the photo, it is definitely Instagram-worthy. However, the quality of the sashimi is just average (but maybe my palate is too refined as I grew up in Nagasaki). The idea of serving ochazuke with the leftover sashimi is commendable. Thank you for the meal!

I have been visiting this izakaya for many years. Their specialty Tamatebako and seared saba are must-try dishes. The rare inside and crispy outside of the fried horse mackerel is delicious. For dessert, they offer fruit daifuku and Shingen ice cream, although availability may vary. There are so many dishes I want to try, but my stomach's capacity always disappoints me. I will definitely visit again!

I was introduced to this place and decided to try it out. The gratin was incredibly delicious! The sea urchin and salmon roe were rich and just so tasty, I can't find the right words to describe it! The "30-second expiration date" fried horse mackerel was also very tasty, and the sashimi was delicious as well. Everything I tried was delicious! The atmosphere is like a casual izakaya, but the prices might be a bit on the higher side. However, the taste is exceptional!

The sea urchin and salmon roe gratin was delicious. The fried horse mackerel was freshly cooked. I found the appetizer to be a bit expensive at 500 yen. Other dishes were also not cheap. The staff were friendly, but they brought us drinks that we didn't order. The restaurant had a slight fishy smell, so it may not be suitable for a young couple's date.

We recently went to a restaurant for a girls' night out and it was delicious! We were able to make a reservation by calling ahead. We had a great time chatting and enjoying tasty drinks and appetizers. It's recommended to order drinks by the glass instead of by the bottle, as they come in a glass rather than a tokkuri. The "tamatebako" (assorted appetizers) is a must-try. The appetizers served differ between the outdoor terrace and indoor seating.

I went on a Sunday evening. The staff were quick to notice when I needed something and their smiles were lovely. I was hoping for some grilled dishes but couldn't find any on the menu, so I had the sesame amberjack which was delicious. The presentation of the sashimi was nice. The white fish with plum vinegar was a favorite of mine! The clam appetizer... I want to have that as a drinking snack haha. The wasabi lotus root made me realize I can handle wasabi well, while my partner found the mustard lotus root spicier than expected. Everything I tried was delicious. The drinks were also enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.

I visited around 7 pm on Wednesday night. It was lucky that I got the last seat when I called from the company. There were few types of sake, which was disappointing, but the complimentary dish was clam soup. The tamatebako had dry ice in it, which was a fun surprise when opened. The seared mackerel was seared on the spot, and the performance was very enjoyable. The fried horse mackerel had a 60-second expiration date. The batter was crispy, but the inside was rare. It was amazing. I will visit again.

It is located about a 5-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station. The sashimi was fresh and the recommended horse mackerel fry was very delicious. The restaurant was almost full, so it took a bit of time for the staff to come when called, which was a little bothersome. Thank you for the meal.

Around 5 pm on Saturday, even though I didn't have a reservation, they were able to seat me on the terrace. I ordered a variety of dishes, but the fried horse mackerel, fried potatoes, and garlic rice were especially delicious. The restaurant quickly filled up and many people were turned away, so I recommend making a reservation before you visit. The food is definitely worth it, so be sure to check it out.

■Visited "Eat My Fish!! Nishi-Shinjuku Store" for the first time. The restaurant is located about a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Nishiguchi Station and about a 4-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Station. I visited around 12:20 on a weekday, and was able to enter smoothly, perhaps due to the rainy weather. Without much prior research, I decided to have a fish-based lunch on a whim. The lunch menu had a small selection, but the menu names showed a sense of dedication. While the "Ultimate Seafood Bowl" caught my eye with its font and layout, I opted for the "Ultimate Rare Horse Mackerel Fry Set Meal" for today's mood. ■Tried the "Ultimate Rare Horse Mackerel Fry Set Meal". About 4 minutes after ordering, the dish arrived. The rare horse mackerel fry was already cut into bite-sized pieces, revealing its rareness from the cross-section. The "Crab Miso Soup" also had a strong presence, with a bowl that occupied a quarter of the tray and hidden crab pieces in the miso soup. The fry had a crispy coating and a tender mackerel inside, maintaining its rareness. It was served with tartar sauce, salt, soy sauce, and medium-thick sauce. Wasabi was also included, making the wasabi soy sauce a tasty option. I recommend trying it with salt or wasabi soy sauce. With free rice refills, I had half a bowl more and enjoyed the rare horse mackerel fry and crab miso soup. The "Ultimate Rare Horse Mackerel Fry Set Meal" was delicious. I look forward to trying the "Ultimate Seafood Bowl" next time. Thank you for the meal!

I lined up eagerly 10 minutes before the store opened and finally got to enjoy the ultimate seafood bowl I had been longing for! The generous amount of fresh seafood piled on top for ¥1200 was definitely worth it. I also added a miso soup with crab for ¥90. I started by savoring the sashimi with just a touch of salt, then enjoyed it with wasabi soy sauce and egg yolk soy sauce. To finish, I asked the staff for a delicious dashi broth to make ochazuke with the leftovers! The rich dashi was incredibly delicious.

Less than a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. The assorted sashimi platter looks delicious. The sashimi was really tasty. From medium fatty tuna to scallops, Spanish mackerel, everything was delicious and I finished it all. The fried octopus was also great with drinks. The drink service was a bit slow, but overall satisfied. It's around 5000 yen per person, but it's definitely worth the price.

I went during the opening hours without a reservation and was thankfully accommodated. I ordered drinks, sashimi, and salad, but the delivery took quite a long time. The sashimi was delicious and the appetizer of clams was also tasty. However, the salad had too much oil, which was disappointing. I wonder how it would be when it's crowded... I would like to give it another try.

Visited a restaurant with colleagues for lunch. Passed by and it seemed cool. The menu was recommending the seafood bowl, but I was intrigued by the rare horse mackerel fry, so I ordered that. I've never had a fry that I thought was delicious, but for some reason, I had a feeling this one might be good. After a few minutes, the horse mackerel fry arrived. I tried it without any sauce first. It was indeed cooked rare, moist, and not raw. It was completely different from the fries I had eaten before, which might have been overcooked due to freshness issues. Also, the seafood bowl looked very photogenic. If you're not particular about rare fry, it's safe to order this one. The crab miso soup was a bit too considerate of my sensitive tongue, but the taste was proper crab soup. I'd like to try their fish dishes with some drinks at night.

Everything was delicious and a seafood lover's dream. Every dish we ordered that day exceeded our expectations. The bonito salt Tataki was perfectly seasoned, delicious on its own, and the mayonnaise garlic sauce added a creamy yet punchy flavor, while the garnishes provided a refreshing touch. The horse mackerel fry was not the usual split-open style, but cut into bite-sized pieces, with a semi-raw texture that allowed us to savor the richness and tenderness of the horse mackerel, especially when dipped in salted wasabi or tartar sauce. The deep-fried smelt was almost like tempura, with a light and fluffy texture that enhanced its deliciousness. The seared mackerel had a perfect balance of fatty richness and acidity, creating an incredibly delicious experience. The combination with sudachi citrus ponzu was outstanding, making it a dish we could eat endlessly. The dried Atka mackerel was packed with flavor and remained delicious until the last bite. We will definitely be going back.

I visited this restaurant after seeing a long line outside while at another restaurant nearby. I ordered the seafood bowl, which was served in a small bowl but was piled high with a variety of seafood. It was delicious, especially when topped with raw egg. I finished by making ochazuke with the grilled horse mackerel on top of rice. Overall, it was a tasty meal, although I wished there was a bit more volume.

I used it for a drinking party. The appetizer was a self-cooked clam sake steamed dish, and the broth was delicious too. There were three of us, so the staff suggested dividing the tamatebako into three pieces each. The restaurant was crowded and all the dishes were delicious!
