A Premium Washoku Experience with Seasonal Fish and Fine Sake in Ebisu

Just a 3-minute walk from Ebisu Station, step away from the city’s hustle and pass through the noren (traditional shop curtain) into a hidden, serene space. “Fujimon” is a renowned restaurant offering seasonal washoku (Japanese cuisine) and seafood that engages all five senses. Each beautifully crafted dish—made with the freshest seafood sourced from across Japan—expresses the changing seasons. A wide selection of sake, including rare labels, is available. Despite its upscale setting, the restaurant maintains a warm, casual ambiance that’s perfect for first-time visitors.

The highlight of Fujimon lies in its seafood, hand-selected daily by the head chef. The ten-course “Fuji Course” includes seasonal delights such as a 6-variety sashimi platter, tempura, and steak made from brand meat (premium regional beef or pork). Each dish showcases the season’s best—from melt-in-your-mouth fatty fish to crisp tempura and savory meat. A 2.5-hour all-you-can-drink option (+¥2,000) is available. When ordering alcohol à la carte, try dashi-wari (house-made broth mixed with sake), or rare sake pairings like Juyondai (famous brand) and Aramasa. A certified kikizakeshi (sake sommelier) helps you choose, so even beginners can enjoy.

Even à la carte, you can savor expert craftsmanship and seasonal flavors. Start with the “7-Kind Assorted Sashimi,” a lavish platter of seasonal fish chosen by the chef—featuring rich, melt-in-your-mouth textures. The “Goma Saba” from Unzen (mackerel raised on dried sardines) is packed with umami and pairs beautifully with sesame sauce. For fried dishes, the crisp “Seasonal Kakiage” and juicy “Fried Oyster” are top picks. The aroma of freshly fried food stirs your appetite and lifts fatigue. Everything pairs wonderfully with sake, delivering high quality even with a single dish.

The interior is a relaxing blend of gentle wood tones and traditional Japanese design. The open kitchen in front of the counter provides a sense of live performance as you watch the chefs at work. With table, booth, and private room seating, it suits various occasions. Attentive service from kikizakeshi (sake sommeliers), multilingual menus (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean), and free Wi-Fi make it friendly for international guests. Tōmon is the perfect place to experience Japan’s hospitality and flavors—don’t miss it.
