We visit Takamaru a popular local restaurant famous for their affordable and fresh seafood. With $40 to spend we see just how far our money can go! We order Takamaru’s 3 wooden bowls for 2980 yen which are made up of uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon roe) sushi, maguro (tuna) sashimi and boiled crab meat and scallops. We also sample their raw octopus with wasabi and minced tuna meat with natto (fermented soy beans) for 500 yen each. All the seafood we eat is fresh and tasty- the tuna sashimi in particular is delicious as are the raw octopus and minced tuna with natto. The restaurant is boisterous, loud and the perfect place to have a few drinks and feast on Japanese seafood for a fair price. Highly recommended!
Note that the ‘Wooden bowls’ are only available for dinner (after 4pm or so). At lunch time there is a set menu option.
Where we ate:
Takamaru
〒160-0023 Tokyo, Shinjuku, 西新宿７丁目１５−１ アパライトビル1階

You can totally eat great quality seafood in Tokyo for cheap! Hope you enjoy this video guys! Cheers,Thomas & Sheena P.S Follow along on our travels in real time on Instagram @chasingaplate
a little advice for you. i like your videos in japan. but you can really omit that part in 0:20 as its a well known fact and if you're gonna repeat it every video. its unnecessary and you can just dub it over a more exciting clip or something.
The most adorable foodie couple everrr!!! Seafood are amazing in Japan, awwwsome video guys!!! 👏👏👏👍
Awesome video! Everything was so pretty. 😄 That was quite a spread for the price. Very nice!
Another great video!
Sheena- Do you have a capsule wardrobe? I notice you mix and matcha. Lot of the same pieces. I bet it is easy for traveling! How much do you all carry with you as you travel?
I would also love to see a convenience food video in Japan. I saw your one from last year and loved it!
OMG, what an absolutely delicious seafood feast! I wish I could join you both for this great meal. I love sashimi! 🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
HI Thomas and Sheena, is there any tipping?
I always want to cry when I watch your videos because the food looks soo gooooooooood and I want to have that too! You guys have a real special talent describing the food.
man wish we could get that here . so bloody tasty looking , cheers guys#
I'd love to know the name and location of this place, I will be traveling to Tokyo next month and I love seafood. Thanx.
You guys are both so sweet, adorable. And I love your family friendly content. I have a question. Do you guys signal each other if the other has food on their face? Im giggling thinking I know you guys got some secret hand signal going in.! Anyway peace, love to you both.
Great again from the CtP Team…
Great looking spread but I get the sense that you two weren't blown away with this joint. Still, beautiful food and terrific review. BTW, love the rain. 😀👍
I am going to petition for sheena to try all the food first 🤣✌🏻Sorry Thomas, no hard feelings😜
Fish looks raw, disgusting
Giving Mark Weins a run for his money! Now you just got to come up with a trademark facial expression when you're eating food!
Looks so good!
Awesome as ever guys. For me, Japan is a great example of a country which has changed my tastes for the better – I am the biggest seafood fan now. Just leave me surrounded by tuna or salmon sashimi and im happy!
Roe is an acquired taste i guess, i get what u mean about popping!
I'm with you on crab sheena! I remember my chili crab experience in singapore!
Sorry i could go on forever! JAPAN SERIES 4 LIFE
I love how you describe the textures, flavours, aromas of the foods you try. It gives me confidence to try some " new" foods when i visit Japan! Great video Thomas and Sheena😊 always look forward to watching!
really enjoyed watching you guys eating, so appetizing!
hi guys was on the old holidays in spain as u do so catching up on my favourite u tubers.Wow that sliced tuna looked incredible and the scallops looked delicious. looking forward to catch up on your next adventure.
This looks so mouthwatering – thanks for posting!!
All the best to you both!!
Been binge watching your amazing videos all day and thinking if I could teleport to Japan haha
Great video, do you need to know Japanese to order? Do they have english menu, or pictures in the menu?
Where is this? What’s the restaurant’s name?
Great🍱👍
delicious taste-a-vision video….thanks for sharing, Thomas, Sheena….!
Im going to have to take your word for it on this one. The presentation was beautiful and "eat with your eyes". I guess for quality seafood it was a good price, but it really looked like a whole lot of tasting plates more than a meal. I noticed that alot of the Restaurants you have eaten in this series it seems "communal dining" is the norm, is that just a logistical thing or the way Japanese eat? I could imagine it being difficult to film when in close proximity to fellow diners. 👍
You are both very economical with the soy when dipping ! I always have more than this, next time I will try my sushi your way, but did you ever see the locals use more soy?
Sheena I love the sound of your voice very crisp and clear presentation.
