Wow... it's in Shinjuku... How can you get such incredibly fresh fish here?! I don't need to travel all over Japan anymore! They always present you with the freshest fish of the day, recommending the best way to eat it, whether it's sashimi, grilled, simmered, or tempura. It's always delicious! This place really teaches you about the love of fish and the right way to eat it. It's amazing! It's located in a prime spot in Shinjuku, with a counter, tables, and semi-private rooms, catering to all kinds of dining needs. Definitely recommended! My stomach is so full, it's the best!
I recently visited a restaurant in Shinjuku where you can enjoy fresh seafood delivered in a traditional 'okamachi' (a wooden box used for carrying food). Perhaps due to the influx of tourists, there were a few foreign visitors, and the place seemed to be popular with them. You can choose your favorite fish from the 'okamachi' and have it prepared as sashimi or grilled with salt. The a la carte menu is also extensive, and the 'toro-taku' (tuna and cucumber rolls) were absolutely delicious - I couldn't stop eating them! For the finale, I indulged in a luxurious 'nodoguro' (deep-sea perch) rice pot. This is a highly recommended spot for anyone looking for fresh seafood in Shinjuku. **Menu:** * Signature 'Okamachi' Fresh Fish (Isaki) ¥2,970 * Blissful 'Toro-taku' (1 piece) ¥550 * 'Nodoguro' Rice Pot ¥2,980 * Cheese and Avocado Salad ¥750 * Spicy Cod Roe and Lotus Root Fritters ¥790 * Crab Cream Croquettes (2 pieces) ¥850 * Tempura Platter
The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, with bright smiles and friendly service. The timing of the dishes was perfect, making for a truly comfortable and enjoyable experience. I was also impressed by their warm and enthusiastic greetings to each customer, using clear and loud voices. But the real highlight was the food! It was absolutely phenomenal! I was surprised to learn that each group gets to choose a whole fish, which was then prepared in a variety of delicious ways. It was such a fun and exciting experience. Every dish, from the sashimi to the tempura and simmered fish, was divine. It was so delicious that I felt a deep connection to the fish, and it made me truly appreciate the gift of life. I loved it so much that I'll definitely be back! Thank you so much! 😊🌼
Today, I visited "Nakizakana Shinjuku", which is about a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Station! I had a meeting with a client today, and since everyone loves fish, I chose this restaurant. We ordered the "Nakizakana Shinjuku Specialty! Choose Your Fresh Fish Okamoto Course with 2-Hour All-You-Can-Drink." course. It was a novel experience to choose how we wanted to eat the fish after seeing it right there. This time, we chose sashimi, tempura, and simmered fish. It's great to be able to change how you eat based on your mood that day. Haha. The food came out quickly after ordering, and the sake was delicious. The sashimi was especially amazing. It went perfectly with the sake. The other dishes, like the fried chicken and simmered fish, were also delicious. I'll definitely come back again if I have the chance! Thank you for the delicious meal!
A great restaurant I visit regularly. Everything I've tried is delicious, especially the fresh seafood served in a traditional 'okamachi' (carrying box). It's so much fun to see all the different kinds of fish. Fish and beer - the perfect combination! They offer a wide variety of cooking methods, from grilled and simmered to sashimi, tempura, and fried, so you're sure to find something you love. I'm always completely satisfied.
