Zauo Shibuya - Tokyo

The restaurant is welcoming, friendly staff and reasonable food. The fishing experience is definitely the game changer here and worth a try! But the pricy choices make it not a great place to go often. The dishes, while good, are not great and not worth the costly pice tag. I recommend it at least once, for tourists. Other than that, it is too expensive for what you get.

It's a fascinating experience to say the least. You get to catch your own fish with a rod and they have a wide selection of fishes, prawns and other sea creatures. You are given card coupons (in 100 denomination) and you give these to the staff after catching the fish. You then tell them how you want it to be prepared. Personally the experience was fun but food is alright. I didn't like that some of the sashimi were either too tough or had small bones in it. If you are not local, I suspect you will have a hard time ordering.

I recently visited the restaurant "Catch your own fish" after watching videos of it online. It's important to make a reservation in advance, as they may not be able to accommodate walk-ins. While you have the option to catch your own fish, it is more affordable. Customers can rent a pole and select the type of fish they want, with the staff providing bait if needed. Although we initially chose sea roaches as bait, we were informed that the fish were not hungry and didn't need the bait. Despite this, we were able to catch our fish without bait. After catching the fish, there is a playful ceremony involving clapping and drumming, followed by informing the server how you would like the fish prepared. We opted to have one fish fried and the other cooked in soy sauce, both dishes were absolutely delicious.

This restaurant offers a unique and family-friendly experience. The staff were fantastic with our lively group of young children. We tried the fishing/sushi pots and they were delicious. The sushi demonstrations were captivating and the instructor who taught us about the variety of seafood was friendly and patient. The food was excellent and the added details such as t-shirts, sushi licenses, and certificates made it a special occasion that we will never forget.

I absolutely adore this restaurant, it's so much fun! They have a lot of English-speaking staff who are fantastic, offering a great selection of fresh seafood that they catch themselves. We decided to try both deep-fried and sashimi options, and I highly recommend the deep-fried dish - it was cooked perfectly and not overly battered like some Western style fish. The whole experience was delightful, and even the kids with us had a blast catching their own shrimp. You definitely need to give this place a try!
