Kamui

At Kamui, start with the fish dishes and sake. Diners have remarked on the generous sashimi portions, and some say they return specifically for the sashimi, making this a good option when you want to build a meal around seafood. Menu examples include a trio of sashimi, red sea bream, horse mackerel, cured mackerel and namero, a Japanese dish of finely chopped fresh fish. Choose a selection to try several kinds of fish, or order a particular dish that catches your eye. Seasonal seafood specials are also featured, so you can shape your order around what is on offer.

Sake is another pleasure that diners mention repeatedly. Some report that the restaurant stocks a wide selection from Shiga, while others have enjoyed tasting different labels recommended by the proprietor. It may be worth asking for a suggestion to accompany your fish. There are appealing choices beyond seafood, too: diners have singled out aubergine with sesame sauce, vegetable tempura and fried oysters. Menu examples also include tempura snap peas and conger eel, offering the option to add fried dishes or several small plates alongside the fish.

Kamui is an izakaya for dinner, and reservations are available. Booking a table is one option if you would like to take your time over an evening meal.
