We enjoyed fresh seafood and unique Hokkaido dishes! The sashimi, especially the shrimp, was incredibly delicious. There were two people from Hokkaido with us, and they seemed to be enjoying the nostalgic flavors of Haskap sour and Garana. It was a Sunday night, so only the second floor was open, making the restaurant feel a bit cramped.

This is my first visit at night. It's right near JR Shinbashi Station Ginza Exit. There are no seats on the first floor, so you go up to the second floor. I ordered the "Nemuro direct delivery! Sashimi assortment for 2 people" for 980 yen, along with drinks like "Oolong Highball". The menu has a variety of options like sashimi, fried dishes, and grilled dishes, making it a fun place for those who like fish. The sashimi assortment includes 7 types: botan shrimp, red meat, octopus, sardine, yellowtail, salmon, and flounder (I think). While the freshness isn't outstanding, each sashimi is delicious. I would like to come back and try different menu items if I have the chance.

I was drawn in by the name and sign of the restaurant, "Sapporo Shokudo," because I couldn't see inside from outside. However, the sliding door was rattling and wouldn't open. A staff member quickly came to open it. Inside, I was shocked to find that there was only seating on the second floor, with the first floor being a kitchen and storage area. There was only one other group dining, but they left quickly, leaving me alone in the restaurant. I decided to play it safe and ordered the "Scallop Curry for ¥1190." The atmosphere was unpleasant, with cushions that looked like they were overflowing with sponge material. I wanted to leave before the food arrived, but I had no choice. It took 15 minutes for the food to arrive, even though I ordered curry. The miso soup had a crab flavor, but it was served with a spoon already inside. This place seemed overpriced for the competitive curry market. The curry itself was nothing special, except for the scallops. This was my first time experiencing such a quick service in Japan.

I messed up after a long time. Lately, my appetite has changed, and unless it's something really delicious, I'd rather be hungry. If I have to eat something weird, I'd prefer just alcohol. I had a sashimi platter, but the fish seemed watery and had been soaked in ice water for a long time, losing its delicious flavor. The beer didn't feel very cold, and the sake was served at room temperature, which I don't prefer. I messed up. Please bring back my hunger. I will definitely not revisit this place.

It was good that the place was open early, even though it was a bit confusing to find the entrance. I went in and passed through what seemed like the kitchen or storage area to get to the second floor. When I asked the staff about the menu, they couldn't explain it well, so I ordered some quick dishes like edamame, salad, and buttered potatoes. The sashimi assortment was fresh and had a good amount. The buttered potatoes had a salty kick from the salted fish roe, which was interesting. The deep-fried squid legs were tender and slightly spicy, very tasty.

Had dinner with a friend. The menu didn't seem to match the name "Nemuro Shokudo," but they had typical fish dishes. The first floor of the building is the kitchen, and you walk through it to get to the seating on the second and third floors. The building is old and run-down, which is a bit concerning for hygiene. The fried squid legs were the most delicious dish.

I arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 am, right at lunchtime. The place was not crowded, with only one staff member on the first floor. I ordered the "Kurigani Curry Set" for 1180 yen (tax included) at the counter right after entering. The staff instructed me to go upstairs. The second floor had about 14-15 seats with tables and counters. I waited for about 30 minutes in the empty second floor. Four more customers arrived, making it a bit livelier. Finally, the staff brought up the dishes on a tray. The curry in the silver plate was served with about 250g of rice. Despite being a set meal, it only came with a small amount of Kinpira Gobo and miso soup with a few bonito flakes. The curry was very spicy and lacked the taste of crab. There were no tissues, making it difficult to wipe my mouth with the non-woven cloth provided. Considering the content, price, and service, this might be the worst cost-performance menu in Shinbashi. I wish I had chosen the sashimi platter or grilled fish set instead. Despite my disappointment, I hesitated to write this review, but I decided to do it. I want to believe that this restaurant is actually better. I will come back in about six months, so please take care of me then.

#Nemuro Shokudo 704 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Revived Saury Set Meal 880 yen ▲20% PayPay support in Minato-ku It's still cold. I haven't been eating much fish lately, so I decided to go to Nemuro Shokudo nearby. There were many options, but I chose the saury since I didn't have much last fall. In about 10 minutes, the freshly grilled saury arrived. The saury was delicious - the skin and small bones were easy to eat. It was gone in no time. It was really tasty.

Today I had some business in Shinbashi, a city known for its salarymen, and visited after a few years. There were many attractive shops, making it difficult to decide where to have lunch. I remembered hearing about a place called Nemuro Shokudo during the state of emergency. I used to live in Sapporo for almost 3 years when I was younger, so Hokkaido holds a special place in my heart. Since the name of the restaurant is Nemuro Shokudo, I had high expectations. I found out that there are 2 branches in Tokyo and several in Hokkaido. The outdoor menu had weathered, worn-out paper. They offered various fish set meals and 9 different types of Zangi set meals, all around 1,000 yen. I decided to go for the seasonal dish, which is not commonly found outside of Hokkaido. The meal cost 1,030 yen with extra rice. The restaurant seemed understaffed, with only one person on the first floor. I placed my order and went upstairs. The restaurant was not crowded, with only one other group of customers. The food took a while to arrive, and it seemed like the person was handling everything alone. The counter had leftovers and seasonings from the previous night, giving the impression of a late-night party. The food eventually arrived after a 20-minute wait. The rice and miso soup were piping hot, freshly cooked. However, the miso soup lacked ingredients, only containing bonito flakes. I wish there were crab shells or something similar in it. The small side dish of Kinpira had Korean seaweed, which I didn't really care for. I was hoping for a dish more representative of Hokkaido. The seasonal dish I ordered, called Jishirazu, honestly didn't seem much different from regular salmon. The rice was good, but the portions were small, and I didn't feel fully satisfied. I wish there were more Hokkaido-inspired dishes, even if it meant a higher price. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If I had ordered from the izakaya menu, I might have had a better experience. Thank you for the meal.

Today's brunch is at "Nemuro Shokudo Shinbashi Branch" in Shinbashi. I finished my first job of 2023 in Shinbashi early. It's a risky time. Should I wait until evening? Or start from lunchtime? Let's start from the second lunch. I will repeat one dish every 30 minutes at each place. I made sure that I could enjoy the PayPay festival before entering the store. This place has been operating in front of Shinbashi Station for over 10 years. I remember having the "Hokkigai Curry" before, and it was quite delicious. When I peeked inside the gate, the first floor was a preparation and storage area. A few pigeons were flying around boldly in the open gate in front of the store. Feeling a bit worried, I headed upstairs aiming for the salt-grilled saury for 300 yen. I ordered a draft beer and saury. By the time I finished the small draft beer, the grilled saury, nicely browned, arrived. The fact that the belly is not split is evidence of freshness. First, I tried a bite from the bitter gut. It was a good decision to leave the last glass of beer. The saury is sweet, but is it marinated saury? In winter, saury cannot be caught, so it must be marinated saury. Still, I didn't expect marinated saury to be this sweet. The other day, I made my last hometown tax payment to Nemuro City, and I was torn between 20 marinated sauries and 20 raw sauries, but I ended up choosing raw sauries. Next year, I'll go for marinated sauries. I finished in 30 minutes as planned, totaling 1,170 yen. The seaweed appetizer was 320 yen. I got 234 yen back with PayPay, so that's good, but the draft beer at 560 yen without a happy hour is expensive.

Today is Sunday. Many shops in Shinbashi are closed on Sundays. I decided to visit this shop that was open. I was craving fish, so it was perfect! It was around 12:30 and I was able to get a table right away. I ordered the Pacific saury set meal, which was in season. It was served in less than 10 minutes. The Pacific saury was fatty and the flesh was packed and fluffy, so delicious. It's completely different from making it yourself. It's simple, but for this area, it's cheap and I definitely want to go back.

Located about a 3-minute walk from the Ginza exit of JR Yamanote Line Shinbashi Station, there is an izakaya called "Nemuro Shokudo Shinbashi Store" that also has a branch in Yaesu. The Shinbashi store has a standing bar on the 1st floor and seating on the 2nd to 5th floors. Due to the impact of the coronavirus, the 1st floor may currently only be used as a kitchen, so please check before visiting. I had been wanting to visit this place since it was often featured in the media as a restaurant affected by the pandemic, and I finally got the chance to go. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and delicious, sourced directly from Hokkaido. I ordered a 7-piece sashimi platter, and each piece was excellent. The Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) was also top-notch, juicy and flavorful, as expected from Hokkaido. I also tried the fried flounder and enjoyed it along with plenty of drinks. It was nice to see the owner, who had been featured in the media, looking well and energetic.

I visited a second restaurant where they offered fried squid legs, grilled saury, and salmon roe bowl for 300 yen each. I was already drunk, but the squid legs and saury were tender and delicious. I thought it was a salmon roe bowl, but it turned out to be a salmon roe bowl.

The seasonal seafood dishes we enjoyed in Hokkaido with my wife were delicious. Despite the crisis facing izakayas due to the pandemic, the manager who often appeared on "Hiruobi" and other media outlets is now thriving, with restrictions lifted and the restaurant almost fully booked. We asked for a photo together, and the manager kindly agreed. As a token of gratitude, I left the tip for the staff.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, I visited a restaurant manager who has been receiving news coverage almost every day. However, I actually went to have lunch in Shinbashi after some business there, to enjoy the Hokkaido-sourced fish. Although the opening hours were different on Saturdays, I was able to wait until the rice was ready and was seated on the second floor. I had already decided on the sashimi assortment set meal from the menu before entering. It was a delightful sashimi assortment with various types of fish from Hokkaido. It was unfortunate to hear about the temporary closure of the market where they source their ingredients, and I hope for the day when things pick up again.

Around 3 o'clock on a holiday in Shinbashi. On days off, I tend to start activities late and often miss lunchtime (^^;) On this day, I was walking around thinking, "What should I do?" when I stumbled upon this place. I went in! - Grilled Atka mackerel set meal for 980 yen - Assorted sashimi set meal for 1280 yen Both come with a generous portion of rice and miso soup with fish broth. I chose the Atka mackerel. It was quite large and I was thrilled! I don't usually eat fish at home, so I was excited. The flesh was a bit firm, but still delicious. And it was quite satisfying. My friend chose the sashimi set. It was also quite impressive in size. It included 2 slices each of horse mackerel, sea bream, yellowtail, scallops, and octopus, as well as one shrimp. She said it was very delicious and not fishy at all. I thought it was a bit pricey for Shinbashi, but I was satisfied with the large fish portions. I might want to try it at night too. Thank you for the meal!

Continuing from yesterday, the restaurant that often appears on TV was featured again today. Due to the filming, the head chef was unable to take some orders, which was disappointing. However, I was able to take a photo with the head chef and his brother, which was a great memory. Even though I came for lunch but ended up drinking, the sashimi platter they made for me without any complaints was delicious.

On a Sunday evening, even though I wasn't really hungry, I decided to have a light drink in Shinbashi. My companion, who loves squid, spotted a sign that read "Dried whole squid for 980 yen" so we went in. Later I found out that the first floor is standing-only? On that day, no one went to the first floor, and we were guided to the table seat floor on the second floor. We were told that we might have to share a table, but in the end, we didn't have to. The staff later told us that it was a no-show (reservation customer didn't show up without canceling), and it seems like there are many people like that lately. It made me sad and also frustrated at how people have lost basic manners and consideration for others in this harsh world. I hope the restaurant continues to do well! We had the dried whole squid, which was very soft and didn't feel like it was dried much. The fried tofu appetizer we got was unexpectedly delicious with its thick texture. The Asian woman who was running the second floor was efficient and cheerful, which was nice to see.

Good morning! It's Takemasa, worrying about the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases in my second hometown, Hokkaido. Now, let's talk about the lunch I had in Shinbashi the other day. I visited Nemuro Shokudo, located right outside the Ginza exit of Shinbashi Station, where you can enjoy fresh seafood directly from Hokkaido. As a way to support the restaurant, I ordered the "Sashimi Assortment Set Meal" on the first floor for 980 yen including tax, and then went up to the second floor. Inside the restaurant, there were numerous photos of seafood typical of Hokkaido, and seeing a poster for Kushiro Zangi reminded me of the time I had Zangi at Torimatsu, the originator of Kushiro Zangi, during my time working in Sapporo. As I sat at the counter, I noticed that the antenna shop for Kagawa and Ehime prefectures, "Kaorihime," was closed due to the state of emergency. This is the current situation in Shinbashi. While pondering the tough circumstances in Shinbashi, the manager brought me the "Sashimi Assortment Set Meal." It was a boat-shaped platter with 6 types and 10 pieces of assorted sashimi. Just being able to enjoy Hokkaido scallops, salmon, and shrimp in Shinbashi made me feel happy. Thank you, Nemuro Shokudo. I hope the day comes soon when I can enjoy Hokkaido's local sake "Hokkai no Katsu Taikai" here, along with Hanasaki crab, turban shells, and surf clams.

I visited the restaurant at 18:15 on the weekend. It is a Hokkaido cuisine restaurant located in the Isobe Building, just a 1-minute walk from JR "Shinbashi Station". The restaurant opened in June 2009 and has a medium-sized seating capacity of 95 seats with a somewhat cluttered atmosphere. The kitchen was managed by 2 staff members and 1 staff member in the hall. The items I ordered this time and their evaluations are as follows: Draft beer 480 yen - Good, Appetizer 350 yen - Average, Pickled Chinese cabbage and raw herring sashimi 680 yen - Good, Grilled saury 300 yen - Good, Kushiro chicken Zangi 880 yen - Good, Salmon and salmon roe over rice with grated yam 980 yen - Good, Miso soup - Excellent. The background music was J-pop, and the customers were mainly office workers and colleagues. The restaurant had about 30% customer occupancy, with a female ratio of about 40%. The current Tabelog rating at the time of my visit was 3.29. The slow service due to the lack of customers was a downside. This restaurant has been gaining attention lately due to frequent TV coverage on the impact of COVID-19 on restaurants. It was a recently popular izakaya. Thank you for the meal!
