Popular spot for Shirasu-don (whitebait bowl), offering both raw and boiled options.
A popular Kamakura eatery specializing in shirasu-don, bowls of rice topped with freshly caught whitebait, available both raw (nama) and lightly boiled. The raw version has a delicate, briny sweetness that showcases how fresh the catch is, while the boiled option offers a milder flavor for the less adventurous. Seating includes both tables and tatami floor areas, and lightly fried tempura-style sides round out the menu. Arrive before noon to beat the weekend crowds, and note that raw shirasu is seasonal and unavailable from January through March.
