Sanshichi

Step past the noren curtain and you will find an approachable neighbourhood drinking spot, yet what makes Sanshichi in Funabori distinct is how authentic Western cooking sits right alongside raw fish. Prosciutto may arrive as your otoshi table snack, setting the tone for an affordable menu that refuses to stay inside culinary borders.

A rewarding way to start is with the small plates, notably the daily sashimi selection or the gratin dishes that regular diners frequently praise. You can sip beer or sake over fresh raw oysters and crisp deep-fried white shrimp, then switch to a tomato chuhai or a glass of wine as the meal leans Western. When it is time to conclude, you can order pastas such as spaghetti alle vongole or a clam pescatore.

The dining room features counter seating at the bar, making it equally welcoming for a solo drink or for a group gathering around a table to share daily specials. Reservations are accepted. Payment is strictly cash only, so it is best to carry coins and banknotes when you drop in.
