Takamarusengyoten Shinbashiten — Restaurant in Tokyo

We visited Takamarusengyoten Shinbashiten for a late lunch around 3:30pm, and it was a fantastic find. The restaurant wasn’t crowded at that time—rare for Tokyo—so we got seated right away and had the chance to explore their wide variety of seafood dishes at a relaxed pace.

Menus are entirely in Japanese, and the staff doesn’t speak much English, but they were friendly and helpful. We used a translation app and pointed things out—it worked just fine in the end. Just a heads up: there are no vegetarian options. We didn’t realize that before entering, so my girlfriend had to improvise with several small side dishes. That ended up being a happy accident, because we tried the staff-recommended “algae caviar”, which was not only something new for us but also a real highlight—she loved it.

Really nice place. Disabled friendly - even allowed me to charge our "e-chair" whilst visiting their premises. Totally recommend this place, Food was honestly great, and atmosphere was exactly what you would expect in a very Lively/Genki restaurant. Great job, keep it up!
