Fishman, a restaurant that can also be found in Shibuya, had a branch in Shinjuku that I visited for the first time. They offer a variety of fish dishes including grilled, simmered, and fried options. Although I had made a reservation, I still had to wait for a while before being seated, as they only let people in when there is space available. The restaurant was quite compact, with the counter seats being very close to each other. I thought it might be a bit cramped for larger individuals. Once inside, the drink service was prompt, and they quickly cleared away empty plates. They also brought out a salad to share, which was a nice touch. As for the food, the sashimi platter with various types of fish for 1000 yen per person was delicious. I also enjoyed the salad, tuna tartare, scallop cream croquette, grilled swordfish, and fried flounder. The freshness of the sashimi was decent for Tokyo standards. Overall, the food was so tasty that I would like to visit again when I want to enjoy a variety of fish dishes.

I went on a Thursday at 6pm with a reservation for 3 people. There was no wait, and there was an ashtray outside for smoking. The cost was around 6000 yen per person. I made a reservation for Uozuma around 6pm. The restaurant was full, and some people without reservations were turned away, so making a reservation is necessary. The fish was fresh and delicious, and there was plenty of crab to satisfy us, which is not common in Tokyo. Personally, the simmered dish and pressed sushi were delicious and my favorites. Thank you for the meal!

I wonder when I started liking scallops so much, and the fish at Uomasa is always fresh and delicious, making it a popular restaurant that is always bustling. I also like the atmosphere and the fact that it's close to the station. I recommend this restaurant because all the seasonal dishes and fish are delicious.

I searched on an app and found this restaurant with high ratings, so my expectations were high. I followed the recommendation to start with the sashimi platter for two people, which was delicious. However, the atmosphere was not very relaxing, so it may not be suitable for a date or girls' night out. It seemed to have a two-hour time limit, and we had to leave without finishing all the food. It was disappointing.

Easy to use, location is hard to find, not suitable for large groups due to small interior, counter seating is close together, quick service but last order is taken at 1.5 hours for a 2-hour limit so you can't relax. Wide variety of seafood dishes and Japanese sake from the Tohoku region available, but none from Kyushu, Kansai, or the west.

The food is delicious! The freshness and variety of the menu are truly impressive. However, it's so popular that the dishes are served promptly in just 2 hours, so I wish I could enjoy it a bit more slowly. Today's recommended dishes, the ayu tempura and whale yukhoe, were exceptionally delicious!

The seafood menu was abundant and all the dishes, whether grilled, simmered, fried, or sashimi, were delicious! The octopus tempura had a light batter, different from what I had imagined, but it was tasty! It was a counter-style restaurant, and I was captivated by the skillful hands of the female chef. There were many other menu items that caught my interest as well!

The hairy crab at this price is a good deal, the drinks are served promptly, and the service is just right. We ordered hairy crab, tuna sashimi, crispy fried yam, and sushi. The taste and cost performance are excellent. The crispy fried yam, which I had no expectations for, turned out to be quite delicious.

I made a reservation for Saturday at 5:00 PM and arrived at the restaurant, which is a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Station Southeast Exit. The seating was for 2 hours. The dishes I ordered were: - Nokke Sushi - Fried Eggplant Soaked in Dashi - Spanish Mackerel in Vinegar - Tuna Sashimi - Scallop Sashimi - Red Seabream Sashimi - Grilled Blackthroat Seaperch. The Nokke Sushi was a must-try item, with kappa maki topped with negitoro, pickled radish, crab, sea urchin, and salmon roe. It was luxurious and delicious, I ordered it twice! The tuna sashimi was rich in flavor, especially when paired with shiso leaves. The scallop sashimi was thick and juicy, with a lemon wedge in between, which was unusual.

We felt like having fish together as a couple, so we made a reservation and visited this restaurant. Although I had been to other Fishman branches before, this was my first time at the Shinjuku store. The restaurant is located in a mixed-use building near Shinjuku Sanchome Station and Shinjuku South Exit, and despite that, the inside had a surprisingly calm atmosphere. The age group of customers was relatively high, so it wasn't too noisy, which was nice. We were seated at the end of the counter, which was a cozy spot, but I felt that the tables were a bit tight in terms of spacing. On this day, we ordered the following items, all of which were fresh and delicious! ★ Kappamaki: A specialty roll topped with negitoro, crab, sea urchin, and salmon roe. The sea urchin was particularly beautiful, with no unpleasant smell or bitterness. The fresh negitoro, salmon roe, and crab were all delicious. I highly recommend this dish! ★ Sashimi Platter for two: The sashimi was fresh and succulent, and it was all delicious. If you come to Fishman, I think ordering a sashimi platter is a must. Shiba Ebi Tempura: The large shrimp tempura was crispy and well-seasoned. Squeezing lemon over it made it a perfect accompaniment to drinks. I love this dish! Clam and Asari Sake Steamed: The dish was filled with clams and asari, and the saltiness was just right. The soup at the bottom was flavorful and delicious. ★ Pollock Roe and Mayonnaise Snap Peas: The vegetables were fresh, and the snap peas were sweet with just the right amount of boiling. When dipped in the generous amount of mentaiko mayo, it was incredibly tasty. Perfect for a chopstick rest. Octopus Tempura with Ponzu Sauce: While this dish was tasty, I personally prefer octopus tempura without ponzu sauce, as the octopus was thinly sliced for easier sauce coating. Yellowtail Grilled: Despite being large and delicious, I found it a bit disappointing that there was less meat to eat compared to its appearance. The staff at this restaurant were all very diligent and friendly, and everything we ordered that day was delicious. I would love to visit again when I crave fish. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant on a Saturday without a reservation, right before opening, and they were fully booked, but they kindly offered me a seat if I was okay with a 1.5-hour time limit. The sashimi was delicious, and all the other dishes were also excellent. The staff noticed when our drinks were running low and overall, the cost performance and atmosphere were top-notch. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again next time.

Whenever I want to eat fish, I always come here. I made a reservation and visited. It's always bustling with customers. The sashimi and grilled fish are all very delicious and amazing. There are always too many things I want to eat, so I can't decide, and end up saying, "I'll come back again." Thank you for the meal.

The fish is delicious. It's a perfect place to enjoy sake. This popular restaurant is always crowded, so it's better to make a reservation. I usually try to go without a reservation, but I usually can't get in. This time, I didn't have a reservation but luckily got a table. Yay!

This is my second time visiting. I went with a friend and we both enjoyed the specialty sushi, which was delicious and very filling. The sashimi platter and tempura were also tasty, and the service was quick. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious seafood and Japanese cuisine near Shinjuku. I would love to go back again. By the time we left, there was a line forming outside, so I recommend making a reservation.

It was a place where you can really enjoy fish! The salt-grilled nodoguro and kinki were delicious! It's good for those who want to enjoy fish without drinking alcohol. The cost performance is also good, so I recommend it! I wish there were a few more rice dishes.

I have visited my favorite Japanese restaurant, Uozuma Shinjuku, so many times that I have lost count. I always prefer sitting at the counter where I can watch the chef's skilled hands at work and enjoy the atmosphere. I always order the sashimi platter, grilled fish, and fried dishes, all of which never fail to impress. The beer with the restaurant's name on it goes perfectly with the Super Dry beer, complementing the sashimi and snacks well. The restaurant used to be open late at night, but due to the impact of COVID-19, it now closes at 11 pm. I wish they would extend it by another 30 minutes...

Three days before the visit, the restaurant was fully booked on Tabelog, but I took a chance and called, managing to secure a reservation for 5:00 pm. They have a 2-hour time limit during busy hours, and they will remind you 15 minutes before to ensure you leave on time. If you arrive right on time, you will be seated promptly. The seating is close to the counter with no coat hangers or place for belongings, so be mindful of that. The restaurant looks smaller in person than in photos, and there is a plastic curtain in the kitchen, perhaps for COVID-19 precautions. We had: - Appetizer: grated daikon radish with small plate of whitebait - Salad: seaweed and kettle-boiled whitebait - Sashimi platter (for 2): saury, yellowtail, tilefish, tuna, scallop, alfonsino, seared belt fish - Side dish: stem seaweed - Steamed clams: clams, Manila clams, cod steamed in sake - Fried shrimp: fried striped shrimp For drinks, we had Sapporo draft beer and Asahi Super Dry in bottles. The sake we tried were Atago no Tsuma and Bakuren, both dry. Atago no Tsuma was fruity and Bakuren got us excited. The portion of the appetizer was just right, the salad was a good service for two, and the seaweed was delicious. The sashimi platter seemed small at first, but it was just enough. The saury, tilefish, and belt fish were particularly tasty. The stem seaweed had a slightly sour taste, which was enjoyable. The steamed clams seemed a bit underwhelming for the price, but the cod was flavorful and went well with the broth. The fried shrimp was a safe and delicious choice that paired nicely with beer. Overall, the food and value for money were good. The total bill was under 10,000 yen for two people. I would like to visit again with 3-4 people to try more dishes. The service from the kitchen staff was great, but the service from the floor staff was a bit intimidating (laughs).

I enjoyed delicious food surrounded by adults during my college days. I like the recommended menu with a sense of craftsmanship. Both counter seats and table seats are comfortable. The distance between seats is short, so I can be close to my friends. I can enjoy seasonal dishes. I never miss the tamagoyaki.

[Shop Information] Shop Name: Uomasa Nearest Station: 1 minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit Business Hours: (Mon-Sat) 17:00-23:00, (Sun/Holidays) 16:00-23:00 Closed: New Year's holidays, Obon festival [Personal Impression] ★★★ (3 out of 5) This place has about 10 locations in Tokyo and they are all very popular izakayas. When I came here, the sashimi and hairy crab were incredibly delicious, so I decided to come here for my birthday's second party. Even though I came for the hairy crab, I couldn't find it on the menu... Well, everything I ate was delicious, so it didn't really matter. Especially the specialty "Nokke Sushi" is a must-try!

When you want to eat fish in Shinjuku, a popular option is this restaurant. The fish was fresh, but I wouldn't say it was particularly delicious. I felt less impressed compared to when I came a few years ago, but considering the recent high prices, it's understandable.
