Shinonome is one stop by train from the Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight) where lively events such as "Comic Market (Comiket)" are held. The seafood restaurant "Neptune" there is a seafood bowl restaurant.

Have you ever got off? Shinonome Station

Shinonome is one station from the International Exhibition Center Station on the Tokyo Seaside High Speed Railway (Rinkai Line) in the direction of Shin-Kiba. Trucks and other vehicles pass by all the time in front of the station, but when you go north on Harumi-dori, it suddenly becomes quiet.


The seafood restaurant "Neptune" stands along Harumi-dori. The appearance is reminiscent of a classic Western restaurant, but the Japanese and Western styles are widespread, and the main dishes are seafood.



The standard here is "Seafood Neptune Don", which seems to be a seafood bowl, so I'll order it. The price is 1,260 yen, which is quite expensive in the lunch menu.

The green of the seaweed small bowl is bright

Then, a small bowl appeared with almost no waiting. It's a seaweed. The green is bright. When I try it, it has a texture of Nevatro. I found out that it was the one to sprinkle with soy sauce, and when I casually sprinkled the soy sauce on the table, it was delicious. Soy sauce has a strong salty taste, but it enhances the taste of soy sauce.

Unusual soy sauce

When I asked him that it wasn't ordinary soy sauce, he explained that he used Fukuhara soy sauce from the Edo period in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It looks like something is wrong. Neptune is a blend of two types of soy sauce.

Seafood bowl full of sashimi

Maybe because my body wants salt, I thought it would be delicious to lick only soy sauce, so the seafood bowl arrived. It is in a pail-style wooden bowl. It contains several kinds of sashimi, and the taste is very good when you sprinkle the soy sauce on it. Most of the sashimi was soft and melted on the tongue, so it was squeezed when it was sprinkled with salty soy sauce.


I put wasabi little by little, sprinkled with soy sauce, and ate it, and it emptied. In addition, a large serving of rice is free, so if you want volume, you may want to ask for it.

The restaurant has a calm atmosphere and has desserts and tea like a restaurant, so it may not be a bad idea to take a break instead of lunch.
