About this place
For an evening built around sashimi and a drink, Taishu’s assorted sashimi platter is a natural place to start. Diners have described generous, thick-cut slices and a good variety; one platter on a particular day included spear squid, amberjack, tuna and sea bream. The selection depends on the day’s order, but the menu also lists a three-piece sashimi selection, squid sashimi and octopus sashimi. You can make the platter the centrepiece or choose an individual favourite.
Some diners have enjoyed sashimi with a cold beer; others paired sashimi or simmered fish heads with sake. Drinks include a medium draft Super Dry and Shigemasu sake served by the go. If you want to linger over the flavour of the fish, simmered fish heads are another option; one diner noted that they enjoyed eating the meat right down to the bones.
For a more substantial seafood meal, consider Taishu nabe or ryōshi nabe. There is also a broad choice of small plates and fried dishes beyond the sashimi: diners have singled out the fried pork trotters, while others have reported enjoying crisp fried chicken. To finish, options include seaweed, plum or sea bream ochazuke, as well as a seafood rice bowl. Whether you’re after drinks centred on sashimi or a fuller meal with fried dishes and rice, the menu makes it easy to shape the meal to your taste.
