About this place
Some diners visit Kaisen for sashimi and have even ordered a second platter. One reviewer noted that the fish had no unpleasant raw smell and stood out for its firm texture and savoury flavour, recalling a platter of 5 kinds for 1,000 yen. The menu also lists a sashimi assortment for 1,000 yen.
A boat-shaped sashimi platter is available too, giving diners a choice of presentation and quantity. Those who prefer to compare individual cuts can choose from options such as fatty bluefin tuna, marinated bluefin tuna, striped jack and Norwegian salmon. Sweet shrimp are listed at 4 pieces for 450 yen.
One diner described enjoying a sashimi platter with drinks, noting that glasses of sake started at 600 yen and highballs at 500 yen. Beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks are also listed, making it easy to pair a drink with a few small plates.
For something warm after the sashimi, the grilled dishes include salted striped-jack collar, salted yellowtail belly and salmon grilled with butter. Rice dishes for the end of the meal include bluefin tuna tekka-don, marinated tuna rice bowls and clam rice. There is plenty of choice for a meal centred on sashimi and drinks, or for a more substantial dinner with grilled dishes and rice.
Dinner reservations are available, and booking is recommended. Smoking is permitted indoors, so keep that in mind if smoke may be a concern.
