We basically been to all 4 branches in Tokyo, with Kameido branch being the recent one. I must say despite the lack of drum being played when a fish was caught, the staff were kind and very hands on in helping out my kids and I trying to fish for our dinner.

We went late in the evening (around 8pm) and it wasn’t crowded. I would definitely advise avoiding peak times so you can get the attention you need if you are a clueless tourist like us. The server was INCREDIBLY helpful. While the staff didn't speak English, Google translate and some gesturing was enough to navigate, and they were very patient and friendly. Loved...
