Tamamo

Diners who order sashimi have praised the flavour of the fish and its careful preparation; one reviewer singled out horse mackerel from Nagasaki. If fish is the draw, start with a plate featuring the day’s catch. Tempura and simmered dishes can round out the meal. One diner enjoyed assorted tempura, simmered bamboo shoots and wakame, and rolled omelette; another ordered butterbur shoots and butterbur tempura, lotus root fried with nori, and dashi omelette. Seasonal ingredients may feature on the menu.

Tamamo also suits an evening of sake and small plates. Reviews mention a good sake selection, including aged sake sometimes served warm. One report also notes that aged sake may be available chilled, so you can ask for a pairing to go with your food. One solo diner enjoyed bottled beer before moving on to sake at the counter. With counter seating, the restaurant can work well for a meal alone. For a relaxed dinner over several dishes, making a reservation is an option.
