Yamashichi Sushi Restaurant

Yamashichi Sushi Restaurant sits in the Kamabara district of Shizuoka City's Shimizu Ward, near one of the busiest fishing ports on Suruga Bay, and builds its menu around whatever the port's boats bring in that morning. The Shimizu port sashimi platter is the restaurant's signature dish, a rotating selection built from the day's landings, while the sakura ebi sushi, offered only in season, and the grilled kinmedai give diners two more ways to sample the bay's specialties. The dining room is a mid-range, neighborhood seafood restaurant with a straightforward layout of tables and counter seats, casual dress, and a calm rather than lively atmosphere suited to unhurried meals. The drink list includes regional sake chosen to complement the seafood, alongside beer and soft drinks. The restaurant closes Mondays and keeps a fairly standard lunch-and-dinner schedule, and reservations are recommended on weekends when the port's freshest catch draws a steady stream of diners.
