This is a great place for lobster, and I’ve been coming here for Special occasions for about 4 years now. The steamed lobster is of course delicious, but my personal recommendation is the tomato cream pasta packed with lots of lobster meat. It’s the kind of amazing pasta that brings total happiness, so I order it every time.

EBIZO was a rare place where you could enjoy authentic lobster dishes in a calm atmosphere that makes you forget the bustle of Shibuya. Not only was the quality of the lobster itself high and the cooking skill impressive, but the overall quality of the food, from the Appetizers to the side dishes, was also very high.

On this day, the "Maguro Kisho Bui Roast" used cheek meat. The maguro (tuna) cheek meat was slowly roasted and smoked with applewood chips, giving it a thick, firm texture and a flavor like steak. The side dishes, wasabi tapenade and caponata, were also delicious and paired perfectly with the roasted maguro.

Oysters take center stage here! You can enjoy them however you like, including raw, grilled, fried, and in ajillo! The oysters are meant to be eaten in a circular order starting from the front left, and one of the highlights is enjoying how the flavor gradually gets richer. From plump and sweet raw oysters to fragrant grilled oysters, each one has a different kind of deliciousness that will impress you...

The meal starts with a rich, sweet pumpkin soup, followed by freshly baked focaccia. Then comes a salad of fresh vegetables and shellfish unique to Tohoku (northeastern Japan). The fresh pasta, which has fully soaked up the savory flavors of the seafood, comes in an unusual shape. Both the taste and texture were excellent. It is a restaurant I would like to visit again.

They also offer a prix fixe course, which is appealing because you can choose the structure of your meal to match your mood that day. None of the dishes feel fussy, yet each one has a clear point of view. The balance of ingredients and technique is spot on, and the more you eat, the more the sense of Manzoku builds.

A hideaway restaurant in Omotesando. You can enjoy French cuisine made with fresh seafood. The portions are neither too much nor too little, and while the atmosphere feels upscale, it also has a homey feel. The carpaccio and the shrimp main dish both bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients. The sauteed squid was delicious.

The bisque was rich too, with shrimp flavor filling my mouth so fully that I wanted to keep drinking it forever. I ended up ordering extra bread without thinking. The omar ebi (lobster) gratinée was also great, with rich cheese and American sauce bringing out the ise ebi (spiny lobster), and it went perfectly with wine. Every sauce at this restaurant is outstanding. It reminded me just how good shrimp can be.

The abalone and lobster course. It was a very elaborate course from the Appetizers on, and I was completely Manzoku. I went for lunch with a friend for their birthday, and the number of dishes was very filling. They also kindly prepared a dessert plate for us, and I was impressed by the hospitality in the service. It became a restaurant I’d love to visit again♪

Izakaya Uosai in Nishi-Shinjuku-gochome is a well-known spot that fish lovers should visit at least once✨One of the top recommendations is the oyster dishes, which are plump and packed with rich flavor. Their fresh, full taste makes the freshness obvious, and the aroma of the sea spreads the moment you take a bite. Another hidden specialty is wakasagi (pond smelt) tempura. The batter is crisp and light, while the inside is soft and tender.
