Cidernaut — Restaurant in Tokyo

Best fish and chips in Tokyo. Recently opened in March 2020, this place is worth coming to Shibuya, even if for nothing else but the fish and chips. The owner lived in London and so the fish and chips are authentic! The restaurant looks more like a bar with snacks but they actually have FULL meals that are fantastic. I must have walked passed this place over 4-5 dozen times and never went in thinking they didn't serve meals. The fish and chips is the best I've had in Tokyo - even better than some places in London. The fish is cod, battered with the skin on, and the correct proportion of batter to fish. Thickness is bang on. And the chips ate real chips, NOT shoestring fries! My only nit is that the tartar sauce is Japanese style. Separately, the pulled pork sandwich is to die for. I asked the chef how he got the smoky flavor and he told me it was a secret. I can't tell if he uses liquid smoke or a smoker, but the profile is well...

Went to check it out for the cider and was not disappointed - great cider (and a few beers) and very friendly staff. My limited Japanese was zero obstacle as it seemed everyone was very conversant in English. Cool spot over all and drinks and vibe were good enough that we will be back to try the food (which looked very appetizing). Met owner and he was very friendly. Worth checking out - especially if you are a cider fan - as taps were well organized and described. Not cheap but quality is there - will happily...

Cidernaut is the perfect place if you are like me and cannot stomach the taste of beer, but you love ciders. This also makes it fun and easy to find many different ciders.

The staff is very knowledgeable on the different ciders available and will provide you with a nice print out that describes all the different origins/tastes/notes of the ciders. This printout comes in English as well!

The vibes are immaculate and the staff are all very nice/friendly.
