Since photography was prohibited inside the restaurant, the images are borrowed! (laughs) Our reservation was for 7:15 PM. The proprietress came outside to allow our entry. The seating mainly consists of counter seats, with only one raised platform. We were seated at the counter and paid upfront, 11,000 yen each. After settling the bill, we were allowed a toast with a glass of beer while waiting for our first dish. The initial serving was local clams on a shell. Sweetness enveloped the palate as we savored the tender clams. This was "Sanchoku-ya Taka" indeed! From there, a succession of fresh and carefully sourced seafood followed: Spanish mackerel, abalone, horsehair crab, snow crab, Seki mackerel, ark shell, and more. Each dish satisfied, showcasing freshness and origin. The omakase sake selection complemented the dishes impeccably. Not only was the system impressive, but the quality of the cuisine was also exceptional. Finally, a small rice bowl was served, considering the diners' stomachs. Far from an afterthought, it was delicious. From start to finish, it was a knockout experience. Initially wary of the somewhat noisy atmosphere, we were moved by the sincere host and the cheerful proprietress who ran the restaurant together seamlessly. While reservations might be challenging, we pledge to return whenever possible. Bravo!

I managed to make a reservation and visited for the first time. Every dish was so delicious that I remember the taste vividly even though I didn't take any photos. The first dish that came out was the grilled scallops. The broth was also incredibly tasty. After that, many delicious dishes kept coming. The most impressive was the simmered kue (a type of fish)! It was tender, fatty, and packed with flavor! I definitely want to go again.

The food seems to have leveled up. It's a bit disappointing that it was hard to get an additional order of sake, but it can't be helped since it was fully booked. As always, I enjoyed the two small rice bowls very much. On this day, the start was at an izakaya, then I went to an Iberian pork restaurant, a yakiniku (grilled meat) place, a DJ bar, a club, a dart bar, and a karaoke bar – a total of 7 places on this hopping adventure.

This dish and Japanese sake offer the best value for money. Unfortunately, I can't provide interior photos, but let me introduce the seafood we enjoyed. Starting with fresh hamaguri clams served on large shells, they were exquisite when cooked halfway on the charcoal grill. Every dish was impressive, especially the first-time experience of eel sashimi. The meal consisted of: Hamaguri clams cooked in fish broth, simmered daikon radish from Shimoda, abalone from Oita, sea urchin from Rishiri Island, eel sashimi from Aichi, shimaji from Oita, whitebait, and rice seasoned with salmon roe. For sake, we had Juyondai from Yamagata, Toku from Yamaguchi, Tsushima-ya from Gifu, Mita from Itoshima, and Abukuma from Fukushima.

Each person pays 11,000 yen upfront. Japanese sake is poured for each dish of appetizers, and it's quite intoxicating. Each dish is exceptionally delicious, making it incredibly cost-effective. No photos allowed, only Japanese sake is served. The restroom has strict rules; seating is mandatory. I was nervous before entering because of the strict rules, but the owner and hostess were very nice. Perhaps they've had some badly behaved customers in the past. Highly recommended for those who love Japanese sake.

This place is amazing! A generous amount of high-quality snacks, practically unlimited sake, all for a flat rate of 11,000 yen. This time, the standout dishes were the raw tilefish and eel Tataki – absolute MVPs! As a surprise after the last course, they also served two rice dishes, and to top it off, an Engawa bowl and a Sujiko bowl – incredible! I couldn't take photos, but that just made the experience feel even more authentic. I want to come here every month! Here are some quick notes on what I had: Cherry Blossom, Black Dragon, Choyofukumusume, Emishiki Sensation, Kibijoubu Tamara Label, Eikoufuji, Akatsuki no Tsubasa, Kamonishiki, Kisuizen, Uni Awabi, Kuehama Guri, Daikon, Almost Raw Eel, Seki Saba, Shrimp, Smoked Herring, Fugu Shirako, Engawa Don, Sujiko Don.

Thank you for inviting me to Yatake for the first time. If you walk from the Koyamadai area, just go straight past LITO. It's a little further from Andoru, the back of Shibuya. There seems to have been some trouble between customers, so no photos are allowed inside the store. So, this is the only photo I have, but the lineup of fresh fish inside was impressive. I don't have any notes or photos, so my post lacks persuasiveness, but I've come to realize that this is a place you should visit if you want to drink sake with superb seafood. Despite thinking it might be a difficult place, it was a cozy izakaya with attentive hostesses. I'm grateful for the invitation. I apologize for the lack of information.

I had a course where both the cooking and the drinks were left entirely to the chef, and everything was delicious and impressive. The restaurant opened at 19:15, and all customers entered at once, with just one round of service. The chef gave some instructions at the beginning. Unfortunately, taking photos inside the restaurant was not allowed, so, regrettably, there are no pictures of the dishes. Additionally, the payment was settled upfront, and it was a flat 11,000 yen. When leaving, I couldn't help but wonder if the price was okay for the experience—thinking, maybe it would still be reasonable even if it were around 30,000 yen. They mentioned that they serve seasonal items, so the dishes may vary depending on the time of the year. I'd like to visit about once every quarter.

It was a dream come true! The dishes looked so delicious that it's a shame I couldn't take photos! Each one was so tasty that I couldn't help but finish them all quickly!! They kept bringing more and more sake, and we drank a lot! The finishing Mentaiko rice was luxurious with plenty of Mentaiko compared to the amount of rice... ♡ There's a note, though: if you want to eat a lot, you might find it a bit lacking.

I wanted to enjoy Japanese sake, so I made a reservation through a dedicated site and visited the restaurant. The place had only a counter and a raised tatami area, and since it was for 5 people, I chose the raised tatami seating. Due to past issues, photography inside the restaurant, including food, was prohibited. We all entered simultaneously at 7:15 pm, paid the bill upfront, and the experience began. I started with a glass of beer, and then I could enjoy various types of sake that paired well with the dishes. The meal began with simmered radish, which had a delightful, well-infused flavor. Next, there was a dish with plump clams, a whole abalone, salted kelp, sea urchin, and other delicious accompaniments for the sake. For the finale, we had rice dishes—one with firefly squid and the other with spicy cod roe. Every dish was delicious, and I enjoyed them alongside the sake. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will definitely make another reservation in the future.

Last night, I visited with friends. The standout feature of the restaurant is undoubtedly its fresh seafood dishes. We ordered several seafood dishes, each one deliciously fresh. The sashimi platter, in particular, showcased a variety of colors, allowing us to savor the bounty of the sea. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service, offering detailed explanations about the menu, which was appreciated. The ambiance inside was relaxed, allowing for enjoyable conversations with friends without any disruptions, while enjoying delicious food. I look forward to visiting again.

It's so disappointing that I couldn't take any photos because everything was delicious! You can choose between beer or sake for the first drink. From the second drink onwards, as a service, the landlady lets you try various types of sake, and if you find one you like, you can have more of it. The cuisine includes high-quality seafood, and all of this for 11,000 yen is surprising! Surprisingly, there are many young couples too. Grilled clam, sticky mehikari dried fish - so plump! Delicious! Sea urchin sesame mackerel and wasabi-pickled razor clams, seared eel with just the right texture and saltiness, firefly squid, seared pufferfish ovaries seaweed roll.

Although photography was prohibited, here's a glimpse: We made a reservation for Omakase about three weeks ago and visited with two people. We were promptly escorted to our table at the appointed time. Until then, we waited. The pre-payment system was exceptionally transparent, totaling exactly 11,000 yen. Cheers started with either beer or sake, followed by a one-liter bottle of sake for the rest of the evening, allowing us to pour as much as we liked. It was heaven for sake lovers. The dishes mainly featured seasonal seafood, served in perfect harmony with the pace of the drinks. The enticing aroma of the grilled clams and the deeply satisfying flavor of the radish cooked in seafood broth made it hard to resist drinking. This is a place we'd love to keep coming back to!

I was a little hesitant because it was a simultaneous start style and photography was prohibited inside the restaurant. However, I felt at ease with the kind and gentle proprietress and the chef who carefully and calmly prepared the dishes. I enjoyed the fresh seafood specialties from Oita, such as freshly peeled ark shells, sesame mackerel, and conger eel, and paired them with recommended sake in order. It's amazing, beyond amazing...! This place is a paradise for sake lovers, with plenty of good brands available, and they also have plenty of water to help you drink more. I ate and drank dishes like cherry shrimp from Suruga Bay, pufferfish milt, firefly squid rice, and mentaiko rice before heading home. I can't believe there are such wonderful nights...! I'll definitely come back ◎ Sake I drank: Juyondai, Sake Mirai Yamaguchi, Ki, Houshun, Jyosen Ginjo Tsukiyama Hakuraku-sei, Toyo Bijin, Kame no Oi, Chitose Tsuru, Kamonishiki, Kigai, Senchun, Shika, Kobushi.

Takasan, located in a somewhat shady area a short walk from Shibuya Station, seems to be quite difficult to book. A friend managed to secure a reservation for us, and it was my first visit. Photos are not allowed. The counter seating area is not very spacious. For those who love shellfish, the various shellfish dishes here are irresistible. The service is very friendly, but since drinking alcohol is a big part of the experience, it might not be the most comfortable place for those who don't drink much. They have a great selection of sake, making it a paradise for sake lovers. Thanks for the wonderful meal!

Thank you for visiting. I appreciate follows, likes, saves, and Instagram follows. This place offers only Japanese sake besides beer, with no soft drinks, just water. The cuisine consists mainly of seafood, perfect for sake pairings. Yesterday's highlights were delicious abalone and Matsunomisuke pickles. If you book OMAKASE, you'll also get rice dishes at the end; I had crab rice and shirako rice, both exquisite!

Top 100 Restaurants in 2022. No photos allowed. A well-known place for sake lovers. It operates on a prepayment system of 11,000 yen. This includes a full course of appetizers paired with sake, and all-you-can-drink sake. The menu features a variety of appetizers with sufficient quantity and satisfying flavors. You can freely drink sake by simply asking for it. Despite the crowded counter, you can enjoy a high-value, all-you-can-drink experience with delicious appetizers and rare sake.

I rode on the reservation made by my senior colleague and headed from Shibuya to Kamiizumi, arriving at the restaurant. I refrain from posting photos of the interior, exterior, or dishes as instructed. Once the reservation time arrived, we were escorted into the restaurant and shown to our designated seats. We opted for the omakase course priced at ¥11,000, which included sake paired with the dishes. While the cuisine appeared simple with the focus on the natural flavors of the ingredients, having switched from a shochu enthusiast to a sake aficionado since my transfer to the Kanto region, I found the pairing of dishes and sake to be heavenly. Particularly, the homemade salmon roe hit the spot for me, leaving a lingering sense of satisfaction. Having read the "For First-Time Visitors" section on the website beforehand, I felt at ease and enjoyed the food and drinks in the relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant.

At 19:15, people gather in the parking lot across the street. When it's time, the landlady warmly welcomes them in. The owner is also very polite and sincere, and their demeanor reflects in the food. It's a place where every grain of rice tastes delicious. Photography inside is prohibited, so you can only capture the exterior.

I was craving sake and came across this place while searching for a shop. I arrived 10 minutes before the reservation time, but couldn't enter the restaurant yet. About 5 groups were waiting outside. When the reservation time came, the landlady guided us inside. The interior had a counter with 10 seats and a back room with a 4-person seating area. Upon being seated, we received a warm greeting and were informed of the house rules. Taking photos of the food and interior is prohibited nowadays. Also, the payment was settled at this point, with a fixed fee of 11,000 yen per person (including tax), with no additional charges unless you leave any drink unfinished. Then, the dishes and sake started coming one by one. Opting for the omakase sake selection, the landlady would bring the drinks in order upon request. If you liked a particular sake, you could also request more of it. The dishes we enjoyed included: - Daikon cooked in fish and shellfish broth (soft and flavorful daikon) - Grilled clams (perfectly salted with a broth that pairs well with sake) - Abalone, female sea urchin, and salmon roe salad (a hearty dish with changing sources for abalone) - Shishamo from Hokkaido (perfectly grilled, almost rare, a unique experience) - Uni from Nemuro (no unpleasant odor, incredibly delicious) - Local octopus from Awaji Island (perfect balance of firmness and tenderness) - Striped jack and eel sashimi (first time trying eel sashimi, incredibly tasty) - Amberjack rice bowl (onion paste enhances the flavor, very tasty) - Salmon roe rice bowl (additional serving upon request, also delicious) Each dish served as a great accompaniment to sake, and although the portions weren't large, the leisurely pace of serving allowed for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. The sake selection we had: - Hiroki "Aisan" (incredibly delicious and easy to drink) - Tosa "Takumi" (crisp and intense, complements rich dishes) - Eikofuji "Hoshimatsuri" (personally enjoyable, easy to drink) - Matsu "Dan" (very drinkable, exceptionally tasty) - Isojiman (spicy but drinkable like water) - Joko (absolutely delicious, the best among what we had) - Yoru no Teio (has a strong alcoholic scent, best enjoyed when feeling the effects) - Otokoyama "Toka" (clean and easy to drink) - Mizubasho (refreshing, average taste) I believe this is a satisfying place for sake enthusiasts, and considering the experience, 11,000 yen is quite reasonable. I look forward to visiting again as the seasons change, expecting the menu to evolve accordingly.

Grilled shellfish, simmered daikon radish, small bowls with abalone, sea mustard, and flying fish roe, shishamo fish, sea urchin, sashimi of mackerel and pounded eel, shirako (milt), mozuku seaweed, small tuna bowl, and spicy cod roe rice. All of these are bite-sized side dishes for sake, and at ¥11,000, it might be a bit expensive. Sake is all-you-can-drink.
