The Banquet Food on a Yakatabune in Odaiba, Tokyo

This post was written in 2007. Shop details and prices may have changed since then.

Since it was food served on a boat, I didn’t expect much at first, but the dishes turned out to be pretty high-end. (Had I known it would be this good, I might have skipped the Kitakata ramen…)

Sashimi

Sashimi

This is a platter for 4 or 5 people. The fish was very fresh, and the knife work looked skilled too. The beer was all-you-can-drink.

Salad and edamame

It looked tasty, but we had just been to a soba shop and a ramen shop, so I could barely eat any of it.

Crab, baby octopus, and shellfish

Not exactly moving, but not bad at all either.

Edomae tempura

It’s shrimp tempura, and each person gets 8 pieces like this.

Ochazuke

A traditional ochazuke that Tokyo fishermen are said to have eaten. It was really delicious.

Clam soup

You pour this broth over rice to make the ochazuke.

It was such a fun banquet. Every time I went to Odaiba, I’d wondered what the people riding those boats were up to, and now I finally know.
