This is a Japanese restaurant located in the basement of a building on Hitotsugi Street, a 4-5 minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station. Upon entering the restaurant, you will notice a large hexagonal counter with three sides, which is quite impressive. The restaurant also has table seating and private rooms, accommodating around 40 people. Known for their fish dishes, they offer a menu item called "Aohirasu no Shioyaki," which is a type of deep-sea fish also known as Okime-dai in Tsukiji. I had the "Maeda's Seafood Bowl (1100 yen)," which was beautifully presented with diced tuna, salmon, amberjack, octopus, pickled radish, cucumber, and flying fish roe on top of rice, with quail egg in the center. Mixing it with wasabi and oil, the crunchy texture of pickled radish and flying fish roe was enjoyable. The miso soup is made with bonito broth every morning. Overall, it was a delicious seafood bowl from this fish-specialty restaurant.

I visited a Japanese restaurant called "Akasaka Maeda" located about a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Station on a Saturday evening in June 2023. The restaurant was not very spacious, with only one other customer present. After informing them of my reservation, my companion and I were seated at a table. We had ordered the "Seasonal Kaiseki + 2-hour all-you-can-drink" set for ¥7,000, so we started with a glass of draft beer to toast. The appetizers included four kinds of otsumami and assorted sashimi (seared sea bream, sea bass, cured mackerel). The appetizers were a delightful accompaniment to our drinks, with the textures of seaweed and jellyfish, as well as the flavorful octopus simmered in soy sauce. The sashimi was enjoyable, particularly the aged sea bream. The cured mackerel was a bit lacking in flavor. The next dish was shrimp and summer vegetables in a clear broth, which was refreshing and paired well with the sake. Grilled ayu with simmered vegetables was a highlight, showcasing the delicate flavors of the river fish. The fried conger eel with summer vegetables was rich in umami, and the balance of flavors was delightful. We switched from sake to a lemon chu-hi to savor the elegant dish. The meal concluded with a delicious steamed rice dish with sea bream and clams, accompanied by miso soup with seaweed. The rice had a rich umami flavor from the sea bream and clams, and the miso soup was comforting. The restaurant had a cozy izakaya-like atmosphere, but the quality of the food was that of a traditional Japanese restaurant. While it could be used for business entertaining, it seemed more suitable for casual meals with friends or acquaintances. I would like to try their seafood lunch menu as well, making it a place worth visiting for lunch as well.

I saw this place on Instagram and it looked delicious, so I decided to visit for the first time. It was quite crowded, with customers coming in one after another. I ordered the seafood bowl! Underneath the finely chopped ingredients, there was even some tuna sashimi! It was so soft and tasty - highly recommended!! The seaweed miso soup was also delicious. They also have fish lunch sets, so I definitely want to go back again.

In the early summer sunshine, feeling like having seafood today, I visited this place in person after a long time of just browsing online. The entrance to this place is in a building on Hitotsugi Street, down in the basement where Sukiya is located. The calm and clean interior exudes a sense of tranquility during the late lunch hours. The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes like seafood bowl, simmered fish, and two types of grilled fish, along with fried chicken. For my first visit, I decided to try the seafood bowl priced at 1,100 yen. The rice was neatly arranged with a generous portion of seafood on top, served with miso soup. The diced seafood pieces were mixed with cucumber and pickled radish, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation. Today's seafood included plenty of bonito and octopus, mixed with white fish and tuna sashimi, providing a variety of flavors. The addition of fish roe and egg yolk added a nice touch of variety, although I felt like another distinctive element could enhance the dish further. The miso soup with seaweed had a strong and flavorful broth. Despite enjoying the seafood bowl and mix-ins, I am intrigued to try the simmered and grilled fish options next time as they seem promising for seafood lovers like me.

After checking out the reviewer's food history, I decided to visit Maeda in Akasaka on Ichiki Street. I ordered the daily limited fish stew set for 1100 yen, which today was tuna head meat simmered in sauce. I confirmed that it was okay and asked for extra rice for free. The simmered head meat, cooked using Japanese techniques, was delicious when eaten with the sauce on rice. The burdock root soaked in the broth added a nice earthy flavor, and the head meat, garnished with green onions, was enjoyed with miso soup with seaweed.

I craved fish and went to Akasaka, but it seemed like they were already sold out or full, so I was turned away. I saw a sign next to Supajiro and went to the underground restaurant. It was 1:30 PM and there were no other customers. I thought it would be a seafood place, but they also had mixed fry and fried chicken. I was in the mood for fish, so I ordered grilled mackerel and grilled salmon marinated in sake lees. I felt a bit unsure when the grilled fish platter arrived, especially with shredded cabbage on the same plate. The mackerel was dry and disappointing. The seaweed soup and rice were delicious though. As other reviewers have mentioned, I should have ordered a seafood bowl or simmered fish instead of the grilled fish platter. The price for the two types of grilled fish was not worth it for the quality of the fish. Thank you for the meal.

Located a 4-minute walk from Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, this restaurant specializes in seafood dishes. I was amazed by the simmered yellowtail I had last time, so I decided to visit again. Today's fish is cod! I love it, what a lucky day! It may look rich, but the taste is gentle. The cod is tender and fatty, making it easy to eat more rice. The seaweed miso soup helps cleanse the palate, allowing me to enjoy the meal again. Overall, it's a great restaurant.

I used to have several options for high-quality "grilled or simmered fish set meals" in Ginza and Shinbashi where my office was located. After moving to the Akasaka area, I wanted to find a similar restaurant nearby, so I decided to try this place. 1. Exterior, atmosphere, interior of the restaurant: It's about a 3-minute walk from Akasaka Station. It's located in the basement of a small mixed-use building, so when visiting for the first time, it's best to look for the menu signboard above ground as a landmark. The interior has large table seats as well as counter seats facing the kitchen, making it comfortable for solo diners. 2. About the food: The lunch menu mainly consists of fish set meals with options like chicken tempura and seafood bowls. I was tempted by the simmered fish, but ended up ordering the "Grilled Fish Platter with Salt-grilled Mackerel and Salmon with Miso Paste." The grilled fish were served on a large black square plate with white rice and miso soup. It was quite simple, which was a bit surprising. The grilled fish was warm, but not freshly grilled, which was a bit disappointing. The salmon had a thin slice but had a nice flavor of miso paste. The mackerel seemed to be dried overnight, but had a good amount of fat. The miso soup had seaweed as an ingredient, and the broth was well-prepared with a nice taste of the sea. The white rice comes in a large portion for free. While I enjoyed the grilled fish, I started to get a bit bored without any side dishes or pickles. 3. Staff service: There was one female staff member managing the floor, who greeted and guided customers to their seats in a friendly and polite manner. In the kitchen, there were two staff members, presumably the head chef and an assistant, working diligently. The speed of serving the food was appropriate, and they also refilled tea promptly. Overall, I didn't have any issues with the staff's service. 4. Cost performance: It was nice to have a full portion of two types of grilled fish, but the quality of the fish was average for the price, and the lack of side dishes made it feel a bit overpriced. Personally, I think side dishes that have been carefully prepared are quite important in a set meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff's service were good, so overall, I think the cost performance is average. 5. Other observations: I think I would have preferred the "seafood bowl" or "simmered fish" instead.

Kappo/small dishes restaurant within walking distance from Akasaka/Akasaka-mitsuke Station. Exploring lunch options. Although I was tempted by the fried chicken, I decided to go with the fish today. I tried the assorted fresh fish (grilled salted mackerel and grilled salmon with miso paste). Assorted fresh fish? Well, I thought it would be a small portion of each, but it turned out to be a full serving of each × 2 types. That was surprising. Both were grilled nicely, and the fish tasted great. The rice was generously served for free. Seems like they opened in February 2020. Come to think of it, I might have visited the previous restaurant that was there. I will definitely go back for lunch.

It had been a while since I last had lunch in Akasaka, and I decided to visit Maeda-san, whom I used to occasionally visit when commuting to work. Today, I arrived a little after 1 PM and was fortunate enough to order the recommended salt-grilled saury. The saury was cooked gently in the roaster and served generously. It looked delicious with a nice grilled color on the outside, but when I took a bite, I found that the inside was not cooked thoroughly enough, with some parts still raw. Overall, it was the first meal of the year enjoyed in Akasaka during the state of emergency.

I was drawn to the seafood bowl with simmered anago for 1200 yen, which is a limited-time offer, and decided to enter this place located in a building along Hitotsugi Street. It is called "Maeda," opened in February 2020. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, with a fair number of seats available. However, it seems like they are short-staffed, so be prepared for a possible wait. The "Maeda seafood bowl" with a simmered anago included for 1200 yen including tax is a good deal. The Maeda seafood bowl is a bowl of assorted marinated seafood. It is already seasoned, so you don't need to add soy sauce. In the middle, there is a raw egg yolk, which you mix in like fisherman's rice. It is a delicious bowl of marinated seafood. The portion size is normal, so it may not be suitable for those who want a hearty meal or big eaters. It is a tasty seafood bowl. On the other hand, the simmered anago is decently sized and good, but honestly lacks a fluffy texture, the fat is not prominent, the meat is slightly firm, and the flavor is a bit strong, so personally, it was just okay. The seafood bowl was good! I also noticed the fried chicken set meal being eaten next to me, which looked voluminous and delicious. Plus, it's only 790 yen. I am also curious about the grilled fish and mixed fry set meals.

This is a new Japanese restaurant in Akasaka that recently opened in February and is still relatively unknown. I visited for lunch and they offer a variety of dishes such as grilled fish, simmered kinmedai, seafood bowl with a piece of conger eel, and fried chicken to mixed tempura, all priced around 1000 to 1300 yen. You can also add sashimi for an additional cost, like salmon and yellowtail. The portion sizes were generous, and they even offer free rice refills. I plan to visit again in the future, as I am still observing the quality of the food.

This is a story about a lunch at Akasaka Lunch, a Japanese restaurant that opened on February 25, 2020, along Hitotsugi Street. It used to be a izakaya and teishoku restaurant called "Akasaka Hitotsugi," but it closed after only six months in October 2019. Before that, it was "Hara Hetta Akasaka," a Hakata motsunabe restaurant. I visited for lunch in early March. The interior was similar to the previous "Akasaka Hitotsugi," so it seems like a transfer. It was not crowded as it was before 1 pm. The menu included grilled conger eel seafood bowl for 1,200 yen, grilled fish (Kinu Saba and sweet salted salmon) for 980 yen with sashimi for 1,200 yen, simmered whole sea bream for 1,200 yen with sashimi for 1,420 yen, fried chicken for 900 yen with sashimi for 1,120 yen, mixed fry (crab cream croquette, white fish, chicken) for 980 yen with sashimi for 1,200 yen, beef kalbi stew set for 1,000 yen with sashimi for 1,220 yen, and assorted obanzai set meal for 1,000 yen with sashimi for 1,220 yen. Rice refill and large serving are available. Later, the seafood bowl was popular among female groups. I ordered the grilled fish (Kinu Saba and sweet salted salmon) for 980 yen. After an 8-minute wait, the grilled fish (Kinu Saba and sweet salted salmon) was served. It came with grated daikon, rice, and miso soup with seaweed and trefoil. The fish was small in size but had a good sear. However, it was a bit overcooked and dry. The miso soup had a strong dashi flavor and the right amount of saltiness. The trefoil added a nice touch. The portion of fish was small, so I ended up eating the rice with cucumber pickles. I should have tried the seafood bowl or simmered sea bream instead.

- Akasaka Maeda I had lunch at Akasaka Maeda, which opened on February 25, 2020. I happened to pass by the front of the shop and they were calling out that they had just opened today. I might have been the first customer. - Grilled Conger Eel Seafood Bowl I ordered the Grilled Conger Eel Seafood Bowl, which was the most expensive item on the menu and was listed on the far right, so it seems to be a signature dish. The conger eel was served separately, not on top of the rice, but it was delicious and easy to eat. The rice was hot and served in a generous portion for free. The fresh seafood was plentiful and delicious. It seems like a proper Japanese restaurant, and I am interested in trying it for dinner as well.

I chose the 5000 yen course and the quality of the food was high. However, as others have mentioned, even though I reserved a completely private room, it turned out to be a semi-private room. The food and the staff's service were good, but I hope they improve the reservation process.

"Kiwami sabashioyaki (grilled mackerel with salt) and chicken karaage set meal for 1100 yen."

Sanma 790 is a great restaurant.
