Visited for the first time in August 2023 (Saturday) around 19:30 without a reservation. I called ahead and was told I could sit at the counter, so I went. The place was almost full, but luckily a customer left just as we arrived, so we were able to be seated at a table by chance. [Items Ordered] - Salmon and Avocado Salad ¥740 - Black Sea Bream ¥4,280 (sashimi, fried, simmered) - Fisherman's Clam Hot Pot ¥1,290 per person (we ordered 2 servings for ¥2,580) It was disappointing that our first choice, swordfish, was sold out, but being able to choose how the black sea bream was prepared (sashimi, fried, simmered) was great. We definitely want to come back to this restaurant.

The staff brought out a variety of fish laid out on ice and recommended the seasonal fish, swordfish, which was served as sashimi and tempura. The fish was incredibly fresh. If you're looking for delicious fish in Shinjuku, you can't go wrong with this place.

This time we visited a luxurious izakaya located about a 10-minute walk from Shinjuku Station South Exit, where you can choose the fish that arrived that day and enjoy it in 2-3 different ways. They are open from 17:00 to 22:00 on weekdays (L.o.) and from 16:00 to 22:00 on weekends and holidays. It's best to visit with multiple people and enjoy eating one fish in various ways. This time, my friend and I visited and reserved the ¥6000 per person customizable fresh fish course with all-you-can-drink option. We were excited to choose what to eat even before our visit.⁡⁡⁡ Upon entering the 2nd floor of a mixed-use building and opening the door, we found a spacious interior with counter seats, table seats, and an L-shaped kitchen at the back. There were no private rooms, but the wide spacing between tables made it feel comfortable, suitable for dates, hanging out with friends, or even colleagues.⁡⁡⁡ My friend and I sat at the counter seats and immediately received hot towels. Since it was an all-you-can-drink course, we ordered two draft beers first. Oh, they even have fancy drinks like Hinata Natsu Sour and Wenzhou Mandarin Sour. The whiskey for highballs was Dewar's. There was also a sake highball called "Gin Gin" made with "Atago no Matsu" recommended by the handsome staff, and my friend ordered it for the second round and really liked it.⁡⁡⁡ After choosing the fish, the course started. First, we had a 3-item appetizer plate with Galinishin, Matsumaezuke, and Mameaji Nanbanzuke. The Galinishin really caught the stomach of a drinker, raising expectations for the next dishes.⁡⁡⁡ Next was the Kabocha Chawanmushi, featuring the seasonal pumpkin that could be felt vividly despite the scorching heat. The hot sauce complemented the dish well, evoking the feeling of the season.⁡⁡⁡ Then came the Salmon and Avocado Caesar Salad, with the dressing served separately, which I personally appreciated. Everyone has their own preferences, right?⁡⁡⁡ The first fish dish was sashimi, with beautiful white fish and condiments. We enjoyed it with soy sauce and ponzu, both adding different flavors to the fish. The fish was surprisingly delicious, and we were impressed. It had a mild yet flavorful taste with just the right amount of fat, truly capturing the season. We wondered if it would be good as a tempura dish as well.⁡⁡⁡ The second fish dish was deep-fried, with the skin crispy all the way to the bones. It may look a bit grotesque, but once you taste it, you'll be delighted. The contrast between the crispy texture and the flavorful white meat, along with the enjoyment of the skin, made it a unique experience. The bones were also surprisingly tasty, making us praise the chef.⁡⁡⁡ As an exceptional dish, we had deep-fried Man'yoji Togarashi (Japanese chili pepper), which was a great addition. It was a delight to enjoy juicy chili peppers with miso paste. Fortunately, it wasn't too spicy this time, and we could savor the delicious flavor of the chili pepper.

I chose a cooking method, selected a recommended fish, and had a great time watching the fish being prepared. The red snapper I had was incredibly delicious, and I want to try other types of fish next time. The recommended extra dry sake was also excellent and refreshing. I definitely want to go back to this place!

There were many big fish, but on this day we caught just the right size sea bream for two people. It was prepared as sashimi and grilled, and we were very satisfied. The staff were all very friendly and pleasant. We also enjoyed their original Japanese sake!

It was really great! I will definitely come back! The staff brought out various kinds of fish and allowed us to choose our favorite fish and cooking method. We decided on salt-grilled and simmered. Even though our order for the main dish got mixed up and took a while to arrive, the staff made adjustments and allowed us to extend our seating time. The taste was incredibly delicious and the variety of drinks was great.

On Sunday at 4:30 pm, there were no other customers when I entered. Around 6:00 pm, customers started coming in one after another. I often go to the Shinjuku branch, but this was my first time at this location. It seems a bit more spacious here, so it might not be as noisy. The food is the same, so when there are a lot of people, this location might be better. I think the atmosphere at the Shinjuku branch with the open kitchen is better.

It was very good. The staff were very polite, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was bright yet relatively calm, making it easy to have a conversation. You can choose one fish and select how you want it prepared, such as sashimi, simmered, or steamed with sake. It's great to be able to eat something that suits your mood that day.

Black sea bream small (sashimi and tempura) ⭕️ Potato salad with salmon roe Firefly squid and eggplant vinegar miso dressing ⭕️ Beer Hyuganatsu highball Highball x3 Oolong highball Total for 2 people was 9220 yen. The steamed egg custard served as an appetizer was delicious, so we were looking forward to the meal. They have a style where you can choose your favorite fish from the daily recommendations and have it cooked. We chose to have half of the fish as sashimi and the other half as tempura. The sashimi was delicious! It tasted refreshing with ponzu sauce. The tempura was also light and crispy! We didn't eat the fin on the left side as it looked tough haha. The firefly squid vinegar miso dressing was also a nice touch. The alcohol wasn't too expensive, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was good.

The staff bring fresh fish on a cart and you can choose your favorite fish and cooking method. The sashimi is really delicious without any fishy smell, and the top recommendation is the fatty tuna. It's a great place for company gatherings or dates. The prices are not the most cost-effective, but the food is delicious and worth it.

This is a recommended restaurant for those looking for a stylish and clean izakaya in Shinjuku. A fun point is that you can choose your favorite fish and cooking method. If you choose a large fish, you can have it cooked in half portions with different methods. The mandarin orange sake was delicious. The customers seemed to be mostly office workers finishing work. The seating is limited to 2 hours. As it is an izakaya, the smell of fish was a bit noticeable compared to a sushi restaurant, but the interior and presentation are very beautiful. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived a little earlier than my reservation time, but they welcomed me warmly. All the staff members had good knowledge about fish, and when I asked which fish would be best for a certain cooking method, they explained it to me in detail. Thanks to them, I had an amazingly delicious meal! I will definitely go back soon!

Located about a 5-minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku station, this shop is new to me, although I have been to the main store near the southeast exit several times. The menu is basically the same as the main store, and you can enjoy incredibly fresh fish. The prices are a bit high, but it is recommended when you want to eat delicious fish in Shinjuku.

A delicious izakaya specializing in fish. I chose this place because I had been to the one near Shinjuku Station before. Just like other similar places, they bring the fish in a basket to your table. You can choose the fish and how you want it cooked. The portion sizes were unexpectedly large, so if you're choosing fish, you might want to go easy on other dishes (like sashimi platters). The food is delicious no matter what you order. There's a variety of drinks to choose from, so it's easy to get carried away. Highly recommended if you love fish.

In Shinjuku, there is a Japanese sake bar where you can enjoy fresh seafood delivered directly from fishermen. They have a wide variety of sake to choose from, and the combination of sake and seafood is perfect. It's conveniently located near Shinjuku Station, so if you're looking to enjoy Japanese cuisine with seafood and sake, this is the place to go! They offer courses with 2-hour all-you-can-drink (6,000 yen) or 3-hour all-you-can-drink (8,000 yen) options, perfect for gatherings. I opted for a la carte, and they showed me the recommended fish of the day, allowing me to choose how I wanted it prepared. I ended up having sashimi and tempura (I forgot what I chose), but it was delicious! You can choose from sashimi, simmered dishes, grilled dishes, tempura, fried dishes, and fried chicken. The selection process was a lot of fun. I highly recommend the Shirako Ponzu (880 yen) and Salmon Roe Rice Bowl (1,500 yen) - they were delicious. Lastly, make sure to try their specialty egg pudding (450 yen) at the end. I kept drinking hot sake throughout the meal, which was irresistible in this season. This place is perfect for gatherings, so be sure to check it out! Opening hours: [Tue-Fri, Eve of Public Holidays] 17:00-23:00 (L.O. 22:00) [Sat, Public Holidays] 16:00-23:00 (L.O. 22:00) Closed on Sundays and Mondays.

A shop that offers carefully selected fish dishes and sake from contract fishermen and breweries nationwide. Fresh fish from contract fishermen all over the country is a specialty! Reopened in August 2022 with a stylish, adult hideaway atmosphere! The interior has a chic lighting ✨, and a calming atmosphere with greenery and wood accents. You'll also be healed by the cute Miya Cat figurine on the table. The menu is in a stylish wooden box! Various fresh fish dishes with special daily menus such as fish prepared with the fishermen's techniques such as "nerve-tightening" and "live processing". A wide selection of sake that pairs well with fish dishes! We also offer original sake that can only be enjoyed at our shop, made in collaboration with popular breweries. Naki Zakan Shinjuku Hana is known for its specialty, the "Choose Your Fresh Fish Course". In the okamochi, there are many fresh fish recommendations of the day. The okamochi is brought to your table, and you can choose your favorite fish. You can enjoy sashimi, salt-grilled, deep-fried, simmered, steamed with sake, tempura, sushi, etc., in your favorite way. You can also combine several cooking methods for each fish! All the fish looked fresh and delicious, but this time I chose the seasonal horseface filefish and horse mackerel. Before the selected fish: ✴︎ Chawanmushi with shirako, ✴︎ Three kinds of appetizers - mozuku, scallop with wasabi, pickled herring, ✴︎ Salmon and avocado salad with homemade dressing Horseface filefish was served as sashimi! The flesh has a chewy texture with a crispy bite! The rich liver is exquisite! I enjoyed wrapping the liver generously around the flesh and dipping it in ponzu sauce! Then, I enjoyed melting the liver in ponzu sauce! ✴︎ The horse mackerel was grilled with salt. It was different from the usual horse mackerel and was delicious! The flesh was fluffy and perfectly grilled, leaving only the bones! The fried eggplant with shiso wrap was a special dish! The fluffy texture was delicious! The remaining horseface filefish sashimi was turned into tempura! ✴︎ For the finale, we had a hot pot rice with mushrooms. The freshly cooked rice in the pot was exquisite! I am satisfied with the fresh and delicious fish dishes! I look forward to coming back to enjoy more fresh and delicious fish dishes!

Nakizakana Shinjuku Hanare is a restaurant located a 4-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. This time, I visited a place where you can enjoy your favorite fish prepared in your favorite way. The lively and cute interior makes it suitable for various occasions like dates or girls' nights out. We tried the "Fresh Fish Okamochi Course ¥4500" which includes seasonal chawanmushi, three types of appetizers, salad, your choice of cooking method for fresh fish, specialty dishes, fried food, and clay pot rice. They also offer a "¥1500 all-you-can-drink" option. The signature Okamochi features a variety of super fresh fish delivered daily in a bucket. You can choose your favorite fish and cooking method from options like sashimi, simmered, fried, tempura, or grilled. The staff can recommend based on the fish size, and you can choose 1-3 types. The fish dishes were all incredibly delicious, thanks to the fresh ingredients and skilled chefs. The tempura was crispy and fluffy, sashimi was fresh and tender, and the simmered dish was full of flavor. I was completely satisfied with the new experience, flavors, and textures.

The amberjack sashimi and deep-fried kinki simmered in soy sauce were excellent. The smoked herring cheese had a unique and intense flavor, very delicious. The restaurant was full, so the service was a bit slow, but overall, I was very satisfied.
