SHIMBASHI: Sakana-Gosho-Kodama seafood izakaya... EVERYTHING was GREAT! Opened on June 6th.. my fathers bday. (Sony RX100)

Only the 2nd time I have ever seen a QR Code ordering system in Japan.

The 1st time was at Kushikatsu Dengana that closed down in Koenji:

The automatic Otoshi appetizer aka table charge.  Its been about 3 weeks since my visit and the only thing I remember was yum.

Some ladies across from us were eating this... of course we pointed. Oyster cream corokke

Perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy inside... so good.

Hoppy Time!  Zero % alcohol beer mixed with shochu.

Tempura moriawase (set).  Fish, oyster and veggies.

Add a little seasoned salt for flavor

Fresh clam with a squeeze of lemon.

I have a few regular drinking friends and they all prefer different kinds of alcohol.  This night we shifted from beers to chilled white wine.  Was a nice change of pace. 

If you notice in Japan most waiters don`t tower over you while taking your order. Instead they will kneel down so they are looking either up at you or at eye level. 

There is also counter seating near the entrance. 

Overall this place is just fantastic.  Food was amazing, service spot on and the interior was very comfy.  It was definitely a full house so either make a reservation in advance or put your name down and wait for the next available table... Go goooooo!

ROPPONGI: The infamous wildly popular seafood spot Shinbashi Uokin is now in Roppongi! Soooo good! (Sony RX100M2)

Counter seating with a view of the chefs.

Rather spacious counter.

Todays specials. These hand written menus always add a nice touch. 

I think this was a fish meatball in soup with side of anago.  It may have been the Otoshi. 

This breaded tuna similar to Tonkatsu was so good. Crispy on the outside and rare inside.

Crab corokke.  Very creamy.

Chu-toro rolls.. melty good.

Sukiyaki bowl.  Meat was exceptionally tender... even my VC friend who has taken several companies public said it was very good. 

Sui-Gyoza (boiled gyoza) in Mapo tofu sauce. Probably the least favorite item of the night. I mean gyoza is pretty much the same anywhere you eat it with small changes to the inside. 

Lots of casual table seating behind the counter. 

Part of the drink menu... price point a big higher. Probably dude to Roppongi rents.

Overall this place is a hit.  If you are ever in Roppongi and in search of a seafood izakaya Uokin is a must!  Much more variety than a sushi shop and very cozy interior plus both manager/waitress were super friendly.  NOTE: Everything was good but its rather Expensive... specialty whisky hi-balls we had were over 1,000 yen.
