About this place
One diner who ordered the sashimi assortment remembered the rich, fatty fish—and wasabi whose generous thickness came as a surprise. At Shunsaishungyo Denuemon, the menu offers a five-kind sashimi assortment for one, as well as individual fish selections identified by origin, including Nagasaki tuna, Shakotan cherry salmon and seared Goto blackthroat seaperch. The listed price for the five-kind assortment is 2,780 yen per person. Choose the assortment to sample a range, or order a particular fish on its own, depending on the group and what appeals.
Fish is served not only as sashimi but also grilled over charcoal or simmered. Blackthroat seaperch, for instance, can be ordered grilled with salt, charcoal-grilled or simmered, offering different ways to enjoy the same fish. One visitor described having seasonal sashimi and vegetable tempura with sake, and mentioned the pleasure of choosing a favourite sake cup. Another diner who tried a course said the food made them want to order sake to match each dish, and enjoyed choosing a cup as part of the meal.
One diner who finished a course with rice cooked in a clay pot recalled the combination of conger eel and rice seasoned with a pleasant touch of sweetness. For an à la carte meal, dessert is another option: the menu lists aged sweet potato brûlée with peach ice cream, as well as house-made peach ice cream using peaches from Kanegane. After exploring different fish preparations and sake pairings, finish with something sweet; the menu’s seasonal ingredients leave plenty of room to shape the meal to your taste.
