Just a 3-minute walk from Shimbashi Station, 'Fresh Fish & Yakitori CIRCUS' resides on the 3rd floor of a building. Ascend the stairs and enter a mysterious space reminiscent of a circus tent, filled with antiques from around the world, truly living up to the name 'CIRCUS'.
The highlight of the restaurant is undoubtedly the rare fish sashimi platter. Fish like Medai, Fuedai, and Aka Isaki, which you don't see often, are beautifully arranged. Paired with seaweed salt and sudachi, the natural flavors of the ingredients can be fully savored.
Don't underestimate the yakitori. Notably, 'Hinadori Shiro Reba' and 'Chire Abura'. The white liver is rich like foie gras, and the chire abura is delectable with sweet fats. These parts are recommended to be eaten within 3 minutes after being served, as they harden if they cool down—truly showcasing craftsmanship.
The menu also boasts creative dishes like tuna cheek and homemade soft-cooked mentaiko omelet. Especially the mentaiko omelet, which reveals a flowing mentaiko sauce from its fluffy egg, is a surprising delight both in appearance and taste.
Despite offering such rare ingredients and meticulous dishes, the average bill is around 4,000 yen, making it reasonably priced. Enjoy the world of gourmet dining, where fresh ingredients meet the artisan's skill, in a casual setting.
As suggested by its name, 'Fresh Fish & Yakitori CIRCUS' is a culinary circus full of surprises and discoveries. It's a remarkable place where you can discover a new side of Japanese cuisine through rare seafood and unique chicken parts. Due to its popularity, it's recommended to make a reservation before visiting. Awaiting you is a special culinary experience that will make you forget the hustle and bustle of Shimbashi.
