Good news for shrimp lovers! A new shrimp restaurant has opened in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo. About 60% of all menus are "shrimp dishes". What kind of food do you have?

The En-eating editorial department has eaten a lot at the tasting party!

---

The shop is located on the 10th floor of the building that rises at the entrance of Kabukicho Ichibangai.


When you enter the store, you will find a kitchen where you can see the cooking and counter seats. And in the back of the left hand, calm table seats are lined up.



If you look closely at the audience seats here, there are people who are sitting before humans. Is that a shrimp? Yes, there are stuffed shrimp sitting here and there, and you can eat shrimp dishes with shrimp . In particular, the giant shrimp, which seems to be 1m long, was a little scary, but it was very comfortable to hold.

(By the way, when I looked it up, I found a site that sells for about $ 50. Or I can buy it ...!)



Now, let's have a shrimp dish while being surrounded by shrimp. Looking at the menu, there are many variations of "type" and "cooking". Here are some of the dishes that we actually tasted that are "compared to shrimp".

Eat and compare three kinds of shrimp (1,580 yen)

In short, it's a platter of shrimp sashimi ... Somehow the tower has arrived !! And there are cases where containers like medicine are lined up. It seems that these are 5 types of vinegar sauce.



Each of the three-tiered shrimp towers has a whole shrimp with a head on it.

The top is red shrimp from Argentina. It's thick and sweet, and I think it's the most familiar taste of the three. The soy sauce sauce goes well!


The gray cub in the middle is from New Caledonia called "Angel's Shrimp". It grows up in the wilderness of "the island closest to heaven" and is often used in high-end restaurants around the world because of its high quality. I ate it for the first time, but it was soggy and rich, with a slight sweetness but a strong umami.


And the small shrimp at the bottom is the Costa Rican mino shrimp. Compared to the other two types, it was much refreshing, and above all, I was surprised that it had a crispy texture.


If you think about it, it seems that raw shrimp have only eaten sweet shrimp. It's a valuable experience just to be able to eat and compare the three types. Basically, there are two fish each, but it seems that they will adjust according to the number of people in the group, so please compare them one by one.


R SHRIMP COMBO ~ 3 kinds of shrimp dish combo ~ (5,980 yen)

Behold, this power ...! Black tiger prawns baked with cheese and truffles, flower shrimp fried in basil garment, steamed omar shrimp, french fries and garlic toast are served.


No, I'm still curious, Omar. The plump and fluffy miso looks delicious because you can see it.


You can easily take it out by peeling it from the shell with the attached tongs spoon and lifting it with a squeeze. Pakuri and a bite, plenty of condition that does not betray the appearance! The firm lemon makes the sweetness tight. Enjoy the sweetness and umami of the miso.


I ate a total of 6 kinds of shrimp, 3 kinds of raw and 3 kinds of cooked ones, and I was surprised at the high potential of shrimp. A finish that allows you to feel the taste of the ingredients. Shrimp seems to be quite deep.

By the way ... A unique lineup of drinks. For example, "Cotton Candy Champagne Cocktail" is made by putting cotton candy on the liqueur and pouring champagne from above. It is interesting that the swashwa and cotton disappear!


By the way, when you visit the store, be sure to go to the bathroom. I'm pretty confused. But it's very nice.

The rooftop on the 11th floor is also the same store's audience seats, and can be reserved for each floor. In both cases, about 45 people can sit and about 60 people can stand. The party for "shrimpists" (people who really like shrimp) is decided here! maybe. It is a fashionable specification that can be used for adult gatherings.
