There are tables for 4 and 6 people, as well as counter seats. I noticed both Japanese and foreign customers enjoying the delicious seafood and grilled dishes. Additionally, there is a second-floor seating area above the counter seats, suitable for gatherings of up to 15 people. 1. Who and why I went I visited this restaurant alone. I enjoy seafood and wanted to try some shellfish as well, so I stopped by this place as a second stop after having a meal with my boss. The recommendation for this place came from my boss, so I went along with his suggestion. 2. Access from the station From JR Shibuya Station Hachiko Exit, cross the signal in front of Shibuya Station and turn left at the entrance of Inokashira Street. Continue straight and turn left on the third block where you will see the sign for McDonald's. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the building next to it. 3. Atmosphere & Table Setting The restaurant was bustling, with a mix of foreign customers. As it is a grilled dish restaurant, each table had a gas stove for grilling. Scissors and tongs were also provided, giving a traditional grilled dish restaurant vibe. 4. Menu Besides grilled dishes, there were also hot pots available on the menu. In addition to seafood, there was also motsunabe (offal hot pot) on offer. The prices are slightly higher due to the use of domestic offal, but it might be worth a try. Of course, there is a wide variety of grilled dishes on the menu, so it's best to go with a few people to enjoy a variety of options. 5. Drinks The impressive aspect of this place is the wide variety of beers available! There were as many beer options as a specialized beer bar. Furthermore, I was surprised by the number of beer taps available. I have never seen anything like it before. 6. Appetizer The appetizer served was like this ▼ Today, I ordered a fresh grapefruit sour for a change of pace. I wanted to order beer as well, but I had already had a drink at the first stop, so I decided to save it for next time. 7. Food Ordered Scallop and Clam Grilled Dish ▼ It may be hard to tell from the photo, but the scallop was large, and the clam was quite big too. Even for first-timers, the grilling instructions were clear to ensure a delicious grilled dish. It has a homemade feel to it, which is nice. The scallop and clam are ready to eat. Looks delicious! Next, Octopus and Tuna Onion Skewers ▼ The octopus was delicious. It had enough saltiness without needing soy sauce. 8. Staff Service The staff consisted of both male and female members, all of whom were friendly and provided good service. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, and it was easy to strike up a conversation with neighboring diners. 9. Toilet The toilets were well-maintained and clean. There were separate facilities for men, women, and unisex, so there was no need to worry about queuing even when the restaurant was busy. 10. Overall Impression Recommended by my boss, I casually dropped by as the second stop, but the extensive food and drink menu made me feel like it would be a waste to leave after just one visit! Additionally, the size and freshness of the scallop and clam were fantastic. Especially, the size and meatiness of the clam provided a satisfying eating experience. Since it seems suitable for parties, I plan to come back next time with a few people or a large group to enjoy the grilled dishes and other menu items to the fullest. Hamayaki Sakaba Torohachi Shibuya Branch

There is also all-you-can-eat option, but I chose to order a la carte. Each dish is not a large portion, so I ended up paying a decent amount for feeling 80% full! It's delicious, but the cost performance is so-so. The restaurant interior is cool even in summer, and I didn't mind the smell of grilling. I might prefer Isomaru.

The food and drinks are delicious! The clams are big and highly recommended. The grilled beef tripe is also very tasty. The grilled tuna collar has a lot of meat for the price and looks great in photos. Be careful though, the bill can add up quickly if you're not paying attention.

This time, I visited the Hamayaki Sakaba Torohachi Shibuya store. The atmosphere was calm and cozy, and the staff were friendly and provided attentive service. The menu was extensive, the cost performance was good, and the food was delicious, making me want to visit again! It's a great place to use for drinking parties, year-end parties, and New Year's parties. The scallops were big and satisfying!

Category: [Tokyo] Donburi ☆ Shibuya Lunch I didn't know this place offered lunch too! Hamayakitori Sakeba Torohachi Shibuya branch. Yes, it has that cozy izakaya atmosphere. I find narrow and bustling places like this very calming. When it comes to COVID-19 measures, QR codes are definitely the way to go. It feels very contactless. Smartphones are essential for this! I love my smartphone! Seafood bowl for 1320 yen. I thought there was only one tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) on the menu, but there's one on the other side too! Look at this! Tamagoyaki on both sides! Even the side dish is tamagoyaki. It feels like I've come to the land of eggs! At first, I thought 1000 yen was a bit expensive for a seafood bowl, but with this much tamagoyaki, 1320 yen is worth it, totally worth it! Nnayatsu Orandaro (ノ｀Д´)ノ

I used it for dinner in Shibuya. It is a style of grilling seafood on a table-top stove. The recommended hamayaki had a lot of processed food and vegetables, which was a bit disappointing. The service was not bad, but the price was quite high, which was a concern.

I noticed the signboard and decided to enter the restaurant. The dignified owner greeted me and showed me to my seat. The sashimi was as delicious as the fresh one I had in Hokkaido a long time ago. The grilled clams with turban shells and scallops were excellent. I felt happy to be able to enjoy fresh seafood in this big city of Shibuya. The craft beer was also delicious.

I ate clams. The rest is a distant memory.

I ordered the 5500 yen all-you-can-eat course. The restaurant is small, but the staff were polite and friendly. They explained the rules of the all-you-can-eat and how to cook the food very clearly. The clams were plentiful and delicious! The all-you-can-eat is order-based, but the speed of service was fast! I was completely satisfied with the meal. I will definitely come back again. I was so full that I'm a little worried about the cost-effectiveness at this price. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Torohachi, a seafood and grilled sake bar in Shibuya Center Street, with my friends to have drinks. It is located near McDonald's in Shibuya Center Street. We were seated at a table by the staff. I started with a lemon sour, which was cold and delicious. We also had some appetizers - crispy cabbage and potato salad, which went well with the lemon sour. We also enjoyed some seafood dishes - sazae (horned turban) pot-grilled and scallops in their shells. I particularly liked the scallops, they were delicious and paired well with the lemon sour.

When I made a reservation, I was told that only the counter was available due to the crowded restaurant. However, when I arrived, there was no one inside the restaurant. The staff did not come even after calling multiple times, and I couldn't eat to my heart's content at the all-you-can-eat buffet.

The fish was delicious! The staff was also funny and made the experience enjoyable. The crab miso was especially tasty. There was a wide variety of beers with detailed descriptions, making it easy to choose. The prices felt a bit high, around 5500 yen compared to my usual 3000 yen budget for drinks. Next time, I'll make sure to bring more money. It was fun to grill and eat right there!

Since there were only two people running the shop, the food service speed was a bit slow, but they kindly explained how to cook the seafood and it was very delicious.

People line up in front of the elevator. It's right in front of me, but I can't seem to get in. The staff was flexible with the all-you-can-drink option. I tried to hold back on ordering food, but ended up spending a little over 7000 yen per person. Surprisingly, the food costs added up.

The male shop assistant has a great attitude. I was able to drink the rare Japanese sake, Juyondai, and it was delicious!

It was surprisingly delicious. However, sometimes it's a bit overcooked. Craft beer is also good. It's a bit pricey, but overall good. I would like to go again. Forgot to take photos.

The special salmon salad was quite delicious. The grilled fish was also delicious. This restaurant is just a nice place with tasty food.

I hadn't eaten much seafood in Tokyo, so I decided to try this restaurant in Shibuya. The seafood was really delicious. It was a great value for lunch as well.
