Visit fitTravellers wanting a substantial fish meal · a shared dinner
A fish-shop restaurant’s lively setting and substantial cuts give the meal its character. A solo rice-bowl lunch and an evening sharing sashimi or cooked fish are different uses.
Check the Honten address and phone number. Nearby branches with similar names and menus are different destinations.
The fish shop also cooks
Takamaru’s operator combines wholesale buying, in-shop cutting and cooking, and sales of fish, prepared dishes and boxed meals. Its buying rights at Toyosu allow whole-fish purchases. The model connects choosing and processing the raw fish with eating it, rather than simply adding sashimi to a bar menu. Honten is the original branch, opened on 18 November 2009 at 1F Apalite Building, 7-15-1 Nishi-Shinjuku. Nearby numbered branches have different addresses.

A sashimi set for one, the day’s fish to share
For a first solo lunch, the Takamaru set makes the meal easy to picture. An August 2026 Honten diner recorded thick-cut sashimi, rice and fish-bone miso soup for ¥1,500, with rice and soup refills on that visit and payment taken after choosing the order. Use the day’s set-meal board for fish selection and the price. The operator’s akadon is a different option, combining grilled salmon and salmon roe over rice. Choose between cooked salmon with roe and a selection of raw fish rather than treating the two dishes as interchangeable.
Planning the Honten meal
For a group evening, share a market-priced sashimi platter and a cooked-fish dish. Agree on the fish, portions, drinks and any seat charge before ordering. The operator lists 11:00–23:00, last order 22:30, with no regular closed day. Check the payment methods at Honten before ordering as well. Use this branch’s set board and market prices rather than a delivery listing or a nearby numbered branch.
