Our Yakatabune takes a route through the Harumi-canal, float under many bridges, new and old, and makes a stop at the waters near Odaiba. There, the Yakatabune stays for some time before taking return trip you through the all too famous Sumida-river. The Tsukiji (the biggest morning market in Japan) can be observed ; not to mention many more resplendent bridges.


Winter
The main dish that we serve, is the sizzling Tempura(fried fishes and vegetables), which the captain fries on board just before eating. To maintain the quality of the tenpura, the fish used are always bought in the morning market, on the day the passengers come on board. Needless to say, the fish we use for sashimi is also of top quality. Please also enjoy the seafood appetizers and the nomihoudai (all-you-can drink) which includes Beer, syochu, sake and so on.
