SAKANAYA-SENBONICHI
Ready to have a bite to eat in the area most famous for Numazu’s signature cuisine down by the sea? Numazu Port has an impressive variety of seafood restaurants that are packed with visitors and locals alike every day, and any seafood fan will not be disappointed!
Out of the many restaurants down here, “Senbon Ichi” restaurant has a spectacular view of the sea and Mount Fuji by the windows in the far corners of the interior. Located on the third floor in the same building as “Kamome Maru”, Senbon Ichi has a very traditional Japanese restaurant ambience with charms you can only find in Numazu. Warmly-lit Japanese lanterns, beautiful cedar wood architecture, and Japanese music dating back to the Edo period can be taken in while seated at one of their many tables.
“Senbon Ichi” and “Kamomemaru” specialize in the “Numazu don”, which is a selection of fine cut fish caught straight from Suruga Bay Area served in a bowl over sushi rice. Their staff members will recommend mixing soy sauce and fresh wasabi on a separate plate to pour over the top of your donburi.
Menu items range from appetizers like “sashimi” (raw sliced fish), “teishoku” (meal set consisting of soup and side dishes), “tempura” (deep fried seafood), and the like, but we recommend trying out their daily specials that cost anywhere between 1,000~2,500 yen.
Shofuku Ramen
Are you a ramen lover? Do you get excited over the idea of endless noodles? Looking for a place voted #1 in the prefecture with awards for great taste? Shofuku Ramen can answer all of your ramen cravings every time you visit! Located at the intersection leading to Numazu Port, you can sometimes see lines of people on weekdays or weekends alike, so it’s best to rock up early to get your hands on a delicious bowl of your choice.
Their menu ranges from “shoyu” (soy sauce) base, “miso” base, and “tonkotsu” (prok broth) base ramen, along with side dishes like “gyoza” (dumplings) and “chahan” (fried rice). Shofuku’s specialty is their signature pork broth “tonkotsu” ramen. If you order their standard tonkotsu ramen from the vending machine at the entrance, you’re in for a treat! When handing over your ticket to one of their friendly staff members, they will ask how you would like your soup, noodles, and amount of oil in the soup. When you’ve finished all of your noodles, just put up a hand and say, “suimasen, kaedama kudasai”! and a staff member will ask how you would like your noodles for round infinity! You can request to have them hard, normal, or soft every time so try out different textures!
Loved by locals and visitors alike, you don’t want to miss out on this!
