Guests receive fishing rods and bait to catch fish from expansive live tanks stocked with sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel, and more. Once caught, staff celebrate with chants and photos before preparing the fish in your chosen style—sashimi, salt-grilled, deep-fried, or simmered—all complimentary for basic methods, with sushi available for an extra fee. This hands-on approach ensures ultra-fresh seafood in a lively, boat-themed interior.
