Recommended to go here by a friend who used to live in the locale. One of the freshest seafood restaurant I've ever been to, with a very good price.
If in season, don't forget to order yaki-sora-mame (this is grilled giant edamame beans, very very tasty).
Things that should never be passed on while there: the suwai-gani (big crabs), grilled prawns, any grilled fish on a bed of salt. To reserve a table means you also reserve a plate of assorted sashimi.
For drinks, they have a large selection of sake and shochu. The fresh grapefruits sour (half of a grapefruit mixed with shochu) is really nice, they quickly sell out on this, though. Also try their "umeguro" beverage. It is a mix between umesshu and guinness. Kind of on the sweet side, but refreshing nonetheless.
Just to give an idea, first time I was there with Deenster, we ordered grilled fish, edamame, yakisoramame, prawns, a plate of sashimi (yes we were very hungry), and 3 drinks each; the bill came down to about 8,500 JPY. Not bad, eh?
