Food Fishing in Shinjuku

This weekend our friend Edwige from Québec is going back home after a few years living not far from our place, so last night we met her for a last time.

ZauoSince she had mentioned that she likes fishing, we took her to 釣り舟茶屋ざうお (つりぶねちゃやざうお) (Tsuribunechaya Zauo), a concept izakaya from Kyūshū of which the Tokyo location is at Washington Hotel in Shinjuku.
The izakaya contains a large boat (-shaped structure, to be exact) in a pool with a lot of fish, and you can even fish your own fish! Fishing by yourself makes it much cheaper than ordering from the menu.

We first had some side dishes and then we went fishing and waited for a long while with no result. Actually I was close to catching something twice but they escaped.
Being hungry we gave up once and ordered more side dishes, but I was determined to get us a fish so I went back on my own and within minutes we had our meal! I fished a large snapper ( (たい)) and we had it cut into sashimi.
It surely was very good to eat the result of my own efforts, and it saved me about ¥1200 (¥2814 instead of ¥4000!). :)

That was a very fun outing and we ended up full for a good price.
