This is an assuming and authentic restaurant attached to a fishmonger on this fashionable street. The elderly lady behind the counter spoke some English and was super helpful. I had the mackerel cooked in sweetened miso - really nice and warming. My chosen set lunch (you have to choose from a board) included a nice helping of cod roe as well. All very hearty and healthy.

It was randomly visiting. I’d like to go some restaurants which looks like local people are visiting many times. The restaurant was on the street when we were heading to Yoyogi park The food style is Japanese home food. The miso soup was great, sashimi was delicious and best is miso braised cod.. mouse melted. So delicious I had big bowls of rice 😂😂

Very authentic local seafood restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Clam miso soup was very tasty. Miso mackerel was well seasoned. Dining room is on the second floor

We have ordered few two set and two side dishes: Mackerel (さばみで煮)is sooo delicious！！！I ate the fish bone too. It is so yummy. Sashimi is fresh n each of them are cut in thick pieces. Miso soup is full of seafood shell taste (鮮味). Very delicious. The side dish, Potato salad and明太子 are very tasty as well. You can refill the rice or soup. But have to finish everything otherwise they may charge you ¥5500 😂 None of the shopkeepers speak other language other than Japanese. But they do hv English menu and they try their best to explain to you. They are very patient and nice. They prepare their food with heart and expect ppl respect their food as well. 8 months later, I have chance to have lunch in the same shop. Super nice and cheerful. Their food is very delicious still. They have combo meal with sashimi and special Mackerel. Love this combo!

A little stressful eating here as a foreigner. Male boss asked if I spoke Japanese or Chinese. I said English. And they do have an English menu. Now the problem is you have to choose the "placard" of the food you are eating which was hanging at the side of the entrance. Which is in Japanese. You can't just point at the menu and order. I used Google lens to compare the menu and the Japanese words. You have to place the "placards" on your table. The boss seems annoyed while settling my orders. I'm not sure why. After the food was served, the vibe got better. The food was great. Best mackerel I have ever eaten. Rice was free flow and delicious. The sauce wasn't very salty. Miso soup had little clams in them. For foreigners I strongly recommend coming in small groups like solo/pairs, it's less of a hassle and big groups might take a long time to order or decide especially if you can't speak or read Japanese. The eating area isn't very big.

Had the silver cod set. Grilled Cod was very moist and tasty. For a foreigner who does not speak or read Japanese, the shop has English menu with pictures of the dishes. Service was great and friendly. Strongly recommended.

Take out/delivery via Wolt. Miso mackerel was juicy, soft, not too sweat but good balance of salt&sweet; slight hint of sake or alcohol ending which presses any fish smell. Well managed. Salmon was ok and a bit dry probably because of timing of delivery over 50min. Willing to re-order or visit the restaurant for more variety!

Authentic taste and friendly ladies who help us with rice and miso soup refills. The atmosphere is great! Highly recommend if you want to have a taste of Japanese food at a local dining place!!
