The Secret Tokyo Doesn’t Want You to Know…

Sea to Table

Escape to Yokohama Shiba Port for an authentic 1-hour fishing & dining getaway.

Because It’s Too Good: Japan’s Hidden Sea-to-Table Experience at Mikimaru

Introduction

I almost hesitate to recommend Yokohama Shiba Port — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. At dawn, the port air mixes briny scents with the purr of boat engines, and your pulse quickens.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — plated the very same evening in Sandfish —
ordinary meals back home will feel underwhelming.
This is a place where catch → deliver → savor happens in a single arc.
Not another “famous restaurant crawl” — it’s a journey where you eat your own story.

Why Visit Yokohama Shiba Port – Japan’s Hidden Gem 💎

Why highlight Yokohama Shiba Port? Because it blends accessibility with authenticity. Most tourists flock to neon-lit
Tokyo or crowded Kyoto temples. But true travelers seeking the "Real Japan" come here.

• ✅ Just 1 hour from Tokyo. An authentic fisherman's town where the salty breeze washes
  away the city noise.
• ✅ Seasonal variety of species, especially "Edo-mae Aji" (Horse Mackerel), renowned for
  its fattiness and flavor even by top Ginza sushi chefs.
• ✅ A true “from sea to table” pipeline with trusted partner restaurants.

Fishing Experience – Step by Step 🎣

This time, we introduce Yokohama Shiba Port’s renowned Mikimaru.

1. 🛠️ Preparation – We provide all gear and life jackets. Friendly
   staff will welcome you at the port. Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease.
2. 🎣 Cast Your Line – The boat glides into the calm Tokyo Bay. Drop
   your line at the captain's signal and wait for the thrill of your first fish taking the bait.
3. ✨ The Rod Tip Shakes – Feel the excitement as a fish takes the bait,
   transmitted through the rod. "I got one!" you'll shout instinctively.
4. 💪 Reeling in Your Catch – Savor the moment when you subdue a
   fiercely fighting golden Aji (Mackerel) on a single thin line. The joy of catching it yourself fills your heart.
5. 🍽️ From Sea to Table – Unlike typical tours, I bridge fishing and
   dining. Your catch goes directly to partner restaurants.

✨ This isn’t just fishing. It’s an experience where you can fully immerse yourself in discovery,
learning, and Japanese tradition.

Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table

This time, we introduce the renowned restaurant Sandfish, where top chefs prepare
your freshly caught fish with exceptional freshness. .

• 👨🍳 From Sea to Kitchen – The chef inspects your cooler with a smile, "Nice catch!" He
  identifies the quality and proposes the best way to cook it.
• 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table – Savor the freshest seafood within hours of being caught.
  Beautiful sashimi and crispy fried Aji appear before you. It tastes completely different from any fish you know.
• 🥢 Cultural Experience – Enjoy Japanese food culture in a cozy local setting, rubbing shoulders
  with locals. This is the authentic Japan not found in guidebooks.

✨ Unforgettable Memories – Eat fish you caught yourself, fresh that very day. This “catch and savor”
experience is truly special and impossible to find on regular tours.

🗣️ Participant Feedback – Why This Experience is Chosen

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've been to Tsukiji Market, but the freshness here is on another level. The process of turning the fish I caught
myself into a magnificent meal right before my eyes was magical. I can't believe such a place exists so close to
Tokyo.
— Isabella (Italy)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I took my wife and daughter, who had never fished before. The Mikimaru staff supported us so kindly. My daughter's
smile when she caught her first fish and the taste of the fried Aji at Sandfish are memories for a lifetime.
— Lucas (Germany)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It felt like diving into local life, not just a sightseeing tour. I was worried about the language barrier, but
everyone welcomed us warmly. If you want to know the real Japan, this is unmissable.

Why Leave Booking & Language Support to Me

Most Japanese fishing boats accept reservations only in Japanese.
Partner restaurants typically do not list “cook-your-catch” courses on public menus.
That’s why I handle direct negotiations and arrangements for a seamless experience.

• ✅ I contact the captain directly in Japanese to secure your spot.
• ✅ Before departure, we will carefully explain the detailed procedures for the day, so you can set off without
  any worries.
• ✅ This isn't just booking. I know the captains, safe boats, and restaurants that genuinely welcome international
  guests.
• ✅ If weather cancels fishing, I'll suggest alternative sightseeing options in the area so you don't waste your
  day.
• ✅ And most importantly: I’m the only guide in Japan specializing in fishing + dining packages for foreign
  tourists.
