SAKANAZA

Visited in early September Very friendly gentleman, owner-chef at Marumi (centre of the 3). He served fabulous osashimi donburi, Japanese iseebi, sazae (turban shellfish). About 15 minutes walk from Manazuru Station, steep downhill. There is a few parking spots, toilets that is part of fishing p...ort available. Many other shops too along the way, but Marumi is highly recommended. Seafood is very fresh, their own catch of the day. It is right opposite to the huge stairway in other photo. Centre in the 3 shops row behind parked cars. とても美味し海鮮丼、サザエ、伊勢海老、お店です。オーナーシェフは優しくしてくれました。おすすめです。#まるみ地魚 #真鶴 #真鶴漁港

Sakanaza offers seafood in cafeteria atmosphere with one or two meat menu. All-you-can-drink soft drink bar for JPY200 with food menu orders. Set lunch menu is in huge portion on Japanese standard of teishoku, but priced for tourists; but still, my feeling is that we saved maybe JPY500 each compar...ed to famous places nearby. Imagine you have a standard oyster teishoku of two small oysters sashimi, two deep fried oysters on a pile of shredded cabbage, condiments, rice and miso soup, plus a deep fried mackerel filet the size of your hand, all for JPY1,700. My friend had bara-chirashi teishoku, or rice bowl with various sashimi and egg roll all cut in small dices. It, too, was served with deep fried mackerel filet. Food is good, not fancy but good and fish are fresh. Don’t expect too much as you are in a fisherman’s wharf, AAA maguro is shipped to big towns. If you know fish better as foodstuff, chances are you will be happy to have exotic ingredients that people in a fishing town enjoys from time to time. I enjoyed sharing the diced sashimi of fish intestine on bara-chirashi which my friend thought was seashell. If you are an Instagramer, go to Yoi, a small seafood restaurant sharing the parking lot facing to Sakanaza. Their menu looks much nicer with Japanese style arrangement on prettier dishes and cups. Price looked similar but can’t tell as we did not visited. The view from Sakanaza is dominated by a small fishing port with wave breakers killing the ocean view.
