About this place
Even a single serving of Wakaduki’s six-kind sashimi platter comes with one slice of each fish. The menu includes fish shipped directly from the Goto Islands and fresh, line-caught bluefin tuna from Amami, making it a good choice for sampling several kinds of seafood. Diners have remarked on the thick-cut sashimi, noting the tuna’s rich fat and firm texture; others have enjoyed the richness of both the sashimi and grilled fish.
For something beyond seafood, try the signature dish of domestic beef wrapped around fresh sea urchin. The beef is seared tataki-style, then served with藻塩 (seaweed salt) or house-made soy sauce. Diners who have ordered it have singled it out as memorable. It makes a tempting change of pace at a seafood-focused table, or a meat option to add to the meal.
Some diners come at lunchtime for the set meals. Reports mention the Wakaduki lunch, as well as set meals featuring simmered fish or fried dishes. One diner described the simmered-fish set as including sashimi, tempura and small side dishes; another praised the generous portions and bold seasoning of a fried-food lunch. Choose a fish-focused set or go for something fried, depending on your appetite.
In the evening, guests can settle in over food and drinks, or opt for a set course built around seasonal ingredients and naturally caught fish shipped directly from the Goto Islands. One course includes a six-kind sashimi platter featuring fresh bluefin tuna, making it an option for sharing with a group. Several locally brewed sakes appear among the seasonal recommendations, offering a range of choices to pair with seafood.
