The Arrival of 'Osakana Sohonke' in Ginza

On December 17, 2025, the renowned izakaya 'Osakana Sohonke' will open its latest location in the heart of Tokyo's Ginza district. Operated by the well-established Daisho Corporation, this will mark the sixth outlet for the chain, which is famous for its authentic Edomae-style seafood offerings. With the concept 'Dedicated to Chef Skills and Fish Quality', 'Osakana Sohonke' promises to provide a high-end dining experience that caters specifically to discerning adult diners.

The new Ginza location is expected to enchant visitors with a remarkable selection of over 40 types of freshly sourced fish from various fishing ports across Japan, all served with the utmost culinary skill by seasoned chefs. 'Osakana Sohonke' prides itself on its extensive menu ranging from sashimi and sushi to simmered, grilled, and deep-fried dishes, all carefully prepared to highlight the natural flavors of each ingredient. A standout item is the Tosa specialty of 'Katsuo Warayaki' (grilled bonito), where chefs flamboyantly burn the fish using straw, resulting in a dish celebrated for its deep, smoky flavor—a must-try for all guests.

A Must-Try Speciality — Katsuo Warayaki

One of the signature dishes that demands attention is the 'Tosa Specialty Katsuo Warayaki', priced at 1500 yen. This dish exclusively features the highest quality “Higashioki” brand of Katsuo, known for its rich fat content. Prepared by a chef who has mastered the art of warayaki grilling in Tosa (Kochi), the cooking process culminates in a dramatic display of flames that heightens the dining experience. The moment you take a bite, the combined essence of the fish's concentrated flavors and the fragrant smokiness will surely leave you impressed. Additionally, the menu includes unique variations such as 'Nama Honmaguro Warayaki' (grilled raw bluefin tuna) at 1850 yen and 'Ikko Anago Warayaki' (grilled whole conger eel) at 1400 yen.

Whole Fish Selections for the Authentic Experience

Customers can also opt for the '旬の一本魚' (Seasonal Whole Fish), available for 4000 to 6000 yen depending on the catch of the day. Recommended options during the winter season include Kinmedai and Nodoguro, both renowned for their exceptional taste. These fish are directly sourced from the company's established 89-year-old Toyosu seafood wholesale subsidiary, 'Yonezawa Suisan,' ensuring the highest freshness and quality. Whether it’s sashimi, sushi, simmered dishes, or tempura, the chefs offer a variety of cooking styles tailored to showcase each fish's finest attributes. They even accommodate specific requests, ensuring that every customer enjoys a personalized culinary journey.

Perfect Pairings with Carefully Selected Sake

To complement the exquisite seafood dishes, 'Osakana Sohonke' also features an impressive lineup of sake sourced from esteemed breweries across Japan. Customers, whether novice or connoisseur, will find satisfying options including well-known brands like 'Dassai', 'Mutsu Hassen', and 'Dewazakura', among others. Knowledgeable staff are available to suggest the perfect sake pairings to enhance the flavors of your meal. Sake can be ordered in varying sizes, 90ml starting at 480 yen and 180ml at 900 yen, offering flexibility for every palate.
