Fish or stay hungry

My friends took me to a super funny Restaurant in the middle of Tokyo. You have to fish your Dinner first and it will than be prepared for you. I thought I was a good fisherman, but I almost ended up eating nothing because the fish didn't bite ;). This was a first for me, I have seen something similar in Fukushima before, but that was not a real restaurant. Funny thing I SPOTTED again a celeb, Japans eating queen Gal Sone was sitting next to me with her kids. Just google her if you want to know what's her skill ;)

Ok, so you can order some dishes without fishing, but my friends were mocking me as I was the only one not being able to fish anything for 20 minutes ;) Everybody got their fish within minutes. So I was basically trying to fish while my friends were already getting their fish and having drinks. I was happy to be able to fish at least one fish and got made fresh Sushi from that one. After that I was allowed to order some stuff from the menu, so I quickly ordered the awesome crab salad and some Fatty Tuna Sushi.

Do you have such funny restaurants in your country ???

"no swimming". I love the sign.

did you realize the no sinkuro thing. they wanted to say "Synchronised swimming" but used the japanese Sinkuro . which means Synkuro. haha that's even funnier ;)

Your post of almost not catching your dinner was so funny! How long did it take you to catch your fish? If I were in your shoes, I probably would still be fishing and not eating yet! Your post made me laugh so much.

around 15minutes ;)

Haha sorry to hear your discovery of being a bad fisherman @knozaki2015 I have heard of this kind of restaurant before, that crab salad and squid dumplings look really good.

Wow this could be a good experience for people like me who never fish, but I think I may ended up starving like you too haha. So basically for the first 10 minutes you can only watch the fishes and wait while others is eating their fishes already?

yeah. that was my experience ;) but ok I got one and was able to eat after that ;)

Good idea for Africa - you need to hunt you steak first.... I think most people will then have to order from the menu because they were or unsuccessful or hunted something unedible.
Liked your article :)

indeed ;) thank you !

regardless of where it is from it looks good

indeed you are right

Nice concept, relaxing next to the fishing waters and eating out at a restaurant LOL, I have never even heard of something like this before.

upvote and RS for u

thank you very much !

Hahaha the signs are probably there because someone tried to do it :-)

omg . maybe someone did

That must 've been a show to view :D

indeed ...

That would've been so much funnier if you couldn't order anything else and had to eat only the one you caught. Really cool place! Looks delicious as usual :)

Upvote! Love the food :)

LOL, the concept is good!!

Such an awesome story! Sounds like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing!! Upvoted and followed! :)

thank you and thank you for following me !

@ knozaki2015, these are really good and healthy dishes, normally ,Asia cusine are all my favorite.

yes and if you dont fish anything you cant eat. so you do a diet ;)

You'll be amazed here in Philippines for you not just fishing in a rest but in a pond itself and you can cook your fish in a very cozy side of the bank. Well fish your self and cook it or ended up watching your fish swimming in the water while other eating their cooked fresh fish hahaha.

haha ;) yeah I have been to a place where they just grill you the fish . but not a place where they make sashimi or sushi too. but for kids this is the best ever ;)

Fishing kids love so are the oldies hahaha..

No really? Fish for your supper? I am afraid I would go hungry! Fantastic images though. X

no fishing no supper ;) but I got a fish. so had that nice sushi

The sushi looked amazing, I still couldn't have done it though. I am a hypocrite I know but I can't kill things, but still eat them! X

Nice post, looks good. I would have stayed hungry if that was the scenario during my fishing trip yesterday. Checkout my post, hope you like it.

Here in Canada we have a restaurant that if you walked in with a tie on, before you are seated a superhero dress-up came out and cut your tie in half then lead you to be seated. It was called I P Looney's located in Canada's Captial Ottawa.

haha thats so funny!
