3 Seafood Restaurants near Tokyo Station
Nearly everyone comes to Japan craving seafood! Typically, seafood restaurants are either sushi spots or izakayas (Japanese pubs), serving a feast of salmon, squid, fresh shrimp, sea urchin, and more. Here are three great seafood restaurants that are more approachable than the high-end sushi bars mentioned earlier. These places are perfect for anyone looking to enjoy seafood in a relaxed atmosphere.
1. Nihonbashi Suminoe
(Photo: KKday)
Nihonbashi Suminoe specializes in sashimi and grilled seafood. It partners with fishermen across Japan to ensure that it uses the freshest ingredients daily. Its signature dish, “Original Grill,” is prepared using two types of charcoal and radiant heat. The heat thoroughly evaporates the moisture from the seafood, leaving it crispy and flavorful. Seafood lovers will be amazed as the taste of grilled fish and shrimp is elevated to a whole new level. This is a must-try for seafood enthusiasts!
LIVE JAPAN Editors’ Tips:
- It’s about a 13-minute walk from Tokyo Station and directly connected to Tokyo Metro’s Mitsukoshimae Station, which is just a 2-minute walk away.
- This place is perfect for people who prefer not to choose their own dishes. They offer set menus that include sake, appetizers, sashimi, grilled dishes, clay pot rice, and more. You can also conveniently make reservations online using the link below.
- If you prefer ordering à la carte, I recommend trying the 7 kinds of sashimi platter, the grilled dish of the day, and the sea bream tea rice. If you’re in the mood for drinks, don’t miss out on their exclusive “Nihonbashi Suminoe’s Kura-dashi Sake.”

Highly popular among tourists and locals alike, this establishment boasts a loyal following of customers who have supported it throughout the years.
LIVE JAPAN Editors’ Tips:
- The restaurant is located in B1 of GRANSTA Yaesu. It’s just a 1-minute walk from Tokyo Station Yaesu exit, very close by.

3. Kaitenzushi Nemuro Hanamaru KITTE Marunouchi
(Photo: LIVE JAPAN Article #a0003608)
Hailing from Nemuro, Hokkaido, Nemuro Hanamaru is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant known for its Hokkaido-sourced ingredients. You don’t need to worry about freshness here — even in Tokyo, you can enjoy sushi with the authentic flavors of Hokkaido. However, due to its popularity among connoisseurs and regulars, wait times can sometimes be up to 3 hours. If you want to dine here, it’s best to allocate plenty of time in advance.
LIVE JAPAN Editors’ Tips:
- Highly recommended dishes include “Soy Sauce-marinated Salmon Roe,” “Double-layered Scallop,” and “Hand-peeled Botan Shrimp.” Don’t miss out on the side dish “Teppojiru” which often includes large crab legs if available!
- The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of KITTE Marunouchi, directly across from Tokyo Station. It’s a quick walk from Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Exit underground.
- To dine here, you’ll need to take a number at the entrance and register your information. You can check your turn online, so it’s advisable to get your number as soon as you arrive at Tokyo Station.

2 Izakaya Recommendations near Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station is surrounded by office buildings, which means there are plenty of izakayas around. Japanese pubs are appealing because of their diverse food options and relaxed atmosphere, making them perfect for travelers looking to experience Japanese culture. Here, we recommend two izakayas that stay open until 11 PM. They’re ideal for those staying out late, catching a red-eye flight, or wanting a late-night meal before heading back to their hotel.
1. Washoku Bar Oto-Oto
(Photo: GURUNAVI)
Located in the basement level of an office building at Tokyo Station, Oto-Oto features a chic modern style with bar counter seating, small tables for 2-4 people, and semi-private booths. The cuisine carries a hint of European influence, offering appetizers like assorted cheeses and locally sourced chicken prosciutto. Their selection of sashimi is personally chosen by skilled chefs, complemented by dishes such as Black Angus steak, oil-sealed duck with wasabi, and Okinawan cuisine like Agu pork sausage. Whether you’re in the mood for a rice bowl or noodles, their diverse menu has something for everyone.
LIVE JAPAN Editors’ Tips:
- Unlike traditional Japanese izakayas, Oto-Oto blends French elements into its cuisine, making it very trendy and appealing.
- They offer a variety of craft beers and sake. I recommend the “Hi-Fuji Craft Beer” and the “Mizubasho Dry Sparkling Sake.”
- It’s about a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit.

These are all classic izakaya dishes, making it the perfect place for anyone looking to experience Japanese izakaya cuisine and culture!
LIVE JAPAN Editors’ Tips:
- I recommend ordering anything with “Daiana” in its name, such as the “Daiana 8 kinds of sashimi platter” or the “Daiana sushi roll.” Don’t miss the “Daiana Highball,” a whiskey cocktail with shiso leaf.
- Their weekday lunch specials are also very popular, like the beef sukiyaki set meal or fried chicken set meal, priced around 900 to 1,000 yen including tax. Plus, they offer free rice refills, which is quite generous.
- The clientele mostly consists of locals, including many office workers who visit during both lunch and dinner on weekdays. It’s quite interesting to quietly observe their daily lives here.
