It is an appealing choice for travelers looking to enjoy a Japanese izakaya-style dinner away from Tokyo’s busiest tourist districts.

The meal begins with a seasonal appetizer and six varieties of obanzai, followed by a four-item sashimi platter featuring fresh bluefin tuna from renowned tuna wholesaler Yamayuki.

One of the highlights is the restaurant’s signature grilled bluefin tuna skewer. The course continues with steamed clams in sake, assorted pickles and seasonal clay-pot rice before finishing with fresh fruit. The exact ingredients may change depending on availability.

Sake Highlights

The all-you-can-drink selection includes around ten varieties of regional Japanese sake, chosen by the restaurant manager, who is described as both a sommelier and a sake diploma holder. Draft beer is also included.

With 2.5 hours to enjoy the course, there is plenty of time to explore different sake alongside sashimi, grilled tuna and the other seasonal dishes. For sake lovers, the combination of seafood, clay-pot rice and a broad selection of local sake is one of Goshiki’s main attractions.
