Hatsushima is famous in Shimbashi for its lunch service, but for a while they had stopped doing lunch. I dropped by for the first time in ages, saw they were open, and went in.

Front entrance

It’s a very narrow place with counter seating only.

Soup

As you’d expect from a proper Japanese restaurant, a tasty clear soup comes out first.

Grilled fish

The grilled fish looked really good, but… it tastes like grilled fish. As options you can order the grilled fish, the simmered fish, or both, and I ordered both.

Simmered fish

This simmered fish melting apart is a work of art. It could go head to head with the one in Maihama…

Kaisendon (seafood rice bowl)

Good quality and a satisfying portion…

Plump shirasu tucked inside too…

Great quality, satisfying portions, and it’s easy to see why it’s famous for lunch.
