Catch-and-Eat Concept

Nestled in Shibuya's bustling Jinnan district, Zauo Shibuya transforms dining into an exhilarating fishing expedition. Guests board a massive indoor boat replica surrounded by vibrant live fish tanks stocked with sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel, snapper, and more. Armed with rented rods and bait, diners hook their meal amid cheers from staff who chant celebratory songs upon each catch. The seafood rotates daily for utmost freshness, ensuring an element of surprise in every visit.

Culinary Preparations

Once caught, fish are whisked to the kitchen for customization. Complimentary options include sashimi, salt-grilled, simmered, deep-fried, or butter-grilled. Premium choices like nigiri sushi, ochazuke, or kamameshi incur a small fee. Non-fishers enjoy an extensive menu of tempura, sashimi platters, karaage, eel sushi, and vegetarian dishes. Kids' menus and sushi-making classes add family appeal, with multilingual support in English, Chinese, and Korean.

Atmosphere and Service

The spacious basement venue buzzes with energy, featuring bright lighting, upbeat music, and enthusiastic service. Staff assist eagerly, pressing table buttons summons help seamlessly. Ideal for parties up to 100, it hosts anniversaries with surprises and all-you-can-drink courses. Though lively and occasionally smoky, the interactive vibe creates memorable group experiences.

Practical Details

Open weekdays from 5 PM and weekends from 11:30 AM, it enforces two-hour limits on busy days. Located B1F in Haimanten Jinnan Building, it's stroller-friendly with storage.
