Tucked down a back alley just off the Yanaka Ginza shopping street, Kakou Misawa is a hideaway kappo restaurant whose specialty is fugu (pufferfish) cuisine, a craft carried through three generations. The kitchen has built its reputation on seasonal ingredients prepared with great care, including an anglerfish hot pot enriched with ankimo (monkfish liver) worked into the broth, a finishing zosui (savory rice porridge), and hire-zake (warm sake infused with grilled fin) that can be refilled with fresh sake. The 7,000 yen and 6,500 yen courses are well received for New Year gatherings and business entertaining, while the lunch tenbara (tempura over rice) and unatama (eel with egg) are popular as well. Diners can watch the chef at work across the counter, making this a stylish spot for spending an elegant, unhurried evening.

Tsujita is a cozy little eatery in the Arakawa ward of Tokyo, celebrated for its fish dishes. The owner takes pride in the seafood sourced fresh from the market, offering a wide range that includes shirauo (ice goby), salt-grilled sanma (Pacific saury), chutoro (medium-fatty bluefin tuna), beautifully presented sashimi, and even oysters, with the grilled fish singled out as exceptional. You can also enjoy deep-fried burdock root, rice sets that turn any dish into a full teishoku (set meal), and frozen draft beer, all at reasonable prices. The gracious, refined okami (female proprietor) is much loved for her warm personality, making this a place you will want to visit again and again.
