Shirasuya — Restaurant in Kamakura

If you’re in the Enoshima area, definitely check this place out. An English menu is available but note that it is severely limited compared to what all is available, I’d recommend going with someone who can speak Japanese.

Shirasu, whitebait, are basically young sardines and are very versatile when it comes to cuisine. I got the Shirasu Zukuri Teishoku (しらすづくりていしょく) and it comes with them prepared 5 different ways, rice, and a small assortment of veggies, also included a bit of watermelon but not sure if that’s a seasonal addition or not. Really good overall; the shirasu is light and there’s no fishy flavor like you might be expecting. I was afraid it wouldn’t be filling, but with free refills of rice, it actually held me over for the rest of the day and I didn’t need dinner.

Around lunchtime it can get quite busy, so be prepared to wait or come early. Thankfully, before your table is called up to sit, they take your order so almost immediately after being seated, your food comes out.

Very nice shop, price was very good for what you get, and the servers were all very kind and...

Savoring Shirasu: A Delightful Dining Experience in Enoshima!

I recently dined at a local restaurant in Enoshima specializing in shirasu fish (whitebait) dishes, and it was a fantastic experience.

The crispy shirasu croquettes were a highlight golden, crunchy and bursting with flavor.

The menu offered a variety of options, from shirasu donburi to savory seafood salad, all showcasing the freshness of the fish.

The cozy atmosphere made it a perfect spot to enjoy these local delicacies.

A must-visit for anyone...

This little restaurant is located a short walk away from the main stations in Enoshima. I recommend that you order the mix variations of shirasu. I have had shirasu before, but this was hands down the best so far. You can taste the various ways it can be prepared, though out of all of them the best variation was the one that had been ?soaked? in a sauce and was brownish. Obviously, all the other variations were great too. A tad bit expensive, but it was so good that I did...
