Pescetariano Mariscos Restaurantes

Visited on a Friday @ noon, ordered the "special tempura course 'wakaba'" Ingredients were a big focus here. With every piece of tempura served, the chef mentioned where it was sourced from and recommended to eat it with either the special salt, oroshi-dashi, or a squeeze of lime. Sitting at the counter allowed me to watch him perform his craft. Every piece of tempura felt luxurious and had a light crispiness. And the Wakaba course was just right for lunch, although, I did order 3 more shrimp tempura at the end. The Uni (sea urchin) tempura was a creamy heaven in my mouth! I swear he used an entire row of uni just to make the 1 piece of tempura! I wish I took more pics of each course... I will definitely return when I'm back in Atami.

Since I had made a reservation, a waiter quickly led us to a prepared room. Kani Doraku's crabs are consistently of high quality. Whether it's crab sashimi or a whole frozen crab, they are all very sweet and fresh. The only thing to note is that their waiters are not always around to help you. If you need anything, you must call them. They are very reluctant to send a waiter over.
