Fresh Seafood at Unbeatable Prices! Exploring the Charm of “Yuuki Shokudo”
Today, let’s explore “Yuuki Shokudo,” a beloved local eatery in the Kotubo area of Zushi.
I’ve visited this spot many times, and every friend I bring here loves it! Located near Zushi Marina, this restaurant offers incredibly fresh seafood at unbeatable prices. It’s no wonder there’s always a line on weekends!
Now, let’s dive into what makes “Yuuki Shokudo” so special!
Reason #1: Savor the Freshest Seafood
Located near Kotubo Fishing Port, “Yuuki Shokudo” serves up the freshest seafood daily. Thick-cut sashimi bursts with umami flavor, making every bite a delight.
Here’s what I ordered:
- Rare Katsu Bonito Set (¥1,200)
Perfectly fried on the outside and rare on the inside, this dish enhances the rich umami of bonito. - Local Horse Mackerel Sashimi Set (¥1,200)
Unbelievably thick cuts of mackerel sashimi, offering a fresh and fulfilling taste.
Each meal comes with a side dish and miso soup, making it a fantastic deal for the price!
The quality of this seafood at this price… it’s almost too good to be true!
Reason #2: Beyond Seafood – A Variety of Dishes
While “Yuuki Shokudo” is famous for its seafood, it also offers ramen, curry, and fried dishes. A local favorite is the “Shina Soba”—a simple ramen with a light fish-based broth.
For those who want something crispy, the Local Fish Fry Set is a must-try, featuring perfectly fried fresh fish.
