About this place
You can centre your meal on sashimi, or take your time over fried dishes and a small hot pot as well. Tongarashi’s menu includes bluefin tuna lean sashimi, wild sea bream, yellowtail and greater amberjack, alongside seafood such as octopus, squid and scallops. One diner recalled that a sashimi serving was ample for two to share, and also mentioned the fugu skin with ponzu served as an appetiser, simmered yellowtail and seiko crab.
Beyond sashimi, the menu has dishes such as marinated live-finished sea bream and vinegared mackerel, as well as seared octopus. It is a welcome way to choose different preparations of seafood. Fried options, including seiko crab cream croquettes and white shrimp kakiage, offer something different to add to a sashimi-focused meal.
Some diners also order a small hot pot in colder weather, and mention looking forward to its dashi-based broth alongside the fish dishes. One review found the portion just right for one person, making it a possible warm addition to a meal shared over sashimi.
The drinks list includes sake served warm, with labels such as Kamokinshu from Hiroshima and Hououbiden from Tochigi highlighted in reviews. There is pleasure in choosing a drink to go with the small plates, and the calm setting suits a relaxed dinner.
