海街丼 三軒茶屋本店

🌊 Super high CP value fresh seafood bowl, one bowl with three ways to eat! The sea bream broth with rice is sweet and rich; I regret not adding rice!

I stumbled upon this inconspicuous little shop. When I glanced at the menu, I saw that the seafood bowl starts at only 1,000 yen, so I immediately decided to come back for lunch the next day!

The ordering method is via a ticket machine at the entrance. After ordering, if there are no seats, you wait outside. The shop only has four seats and is almost always fully occupied.

Today, I ordered the regular 1,000 yen seafood bowl. The seafood here is directly delivered from the Choshi Port in Chiba, the home of the owner, so it's not only fresh and varied but also has fewer middlemen, which makes it so affordable.

The special thing about the seafood bowl is that it can be enjoyed in three ways! Initially, you eat it like a regular seafood bowl, mixing the wasabi into the soy sauce and then enjoying it with the ingredients. The fish on top is fresh, sweet, and chewy, cut into small pieces making it very convenient to eat.

About a third of the way through, I added the transparent "sushi vinegar jelly" that was provided during the meal into the rice, giving it the feeling of eating chirashi sushi! This method of adding vinegar was super unique to me!

Finally, when there's about a third left, I could take it to the counter and ask them to add "sea bream broth" to make it into a porridge. They would ask if I wanted to add rice, and I thought I wouldn't want to eat too much, so I declined. But everyone else, regardless of gender, added rice, and I really regretted it!

The broth they added was concentrated seafood essence and turned slightly cloudy. It wasn't the clear broth you usually get with tea rice; the flavor was mild and elegant. I really wanted to eat another bowl of rice! If you come here, you definitely need to add rice at this point!

This place is highly recommended, and I will definitely come back often!
