[Nagasaki Gourmet] A local's top recommendation! Enjoy incredibly fresh seafood bowls and fluffy, delicious fried horse mackerel at "Koda Shokudo" in Doza!
This time, I went to "Koda Shokudo," a hugely popular restaurant in Shianbashi, Doza-machi, Nagasaki's largest entertainment district, where you can also enjoy drinks during the day!
In conclusion, " It has definitely improved since my last visit!😆 This is a highly recommended restaurant where you can eat the freshest fish dishes by far among seafood restaurants in the heart of Nagasaki's downtown area! It's also a great izakaya to visit for daytime drinking! "
▼Highly recommended for daytime drinking and as a nighttime izakaya!
I chatted with the customer sitting next to me, and it turned out they were a regular customer who had been there several times before, and was enjoying a drink during the day!
One of the biggest attractions of Koda Shokudo is that you can drink alcohol from lunchtime!
Native Nagasaki residents were enjoying a drink with fresh sashimi, fried horse mackerel, and other Nagasaki delicacies from midday onwards (lol).
They serve the same izakaya (Japanese pub) menu during the day as they do at night, so you can enjoy Nagasaki from daytime to nighttime!
Locals confidently recommend Nagasaki's finest seafood, so please do go and check it out!
Next time, I definitely want to visit in the evening and enjoy some delicious sake and sashimi at my leisure. 😄
▼Now, let me introduce them!
This restaurant is affiliated with "Koda Fresh Fish," a renowned supplier of fresh seafood to famous restaurants in areas such as Shianbashi, Doza, and Hamamachi.
Actually, I'm such a big fan of "Koda Fresh Fish Inasa Store" that I often order their sashimi platter!
Even from the perspective of a Nagasaki resident, this is a restaurant where you can enjoy incredibly fresh and exquisite fish!
I arrived a little before the 11:30 opening time, but there was already a line of customers waiting for it to open (lol).
And as soon as it opened, it was completely sold out in no time!
I really got a sense of just how popular it is,
from locals to tourists ! 😆
▼Koda Shokudo (restaurant)
The spacious store was completely full in no time at all! (lol)
The staff are energetic and provide excellent customer service!
We also had some ladies who said they had come here as tourists from neighboring Aichi Prefecture!
Of course, they toasted with lunch and beer (lol).
You can place your order using your smartphone!
I visited for lunch this time, but the local customer sitting next to me was already enjoying a beer 🍺 in the middle of the day 😄
How luxurious!!!
Also, the staff were happy to take orders verbally even for those who aren't comfortable with smartphones, so I really appreciated their flexible customer service, which wasn't solely digital!
I ordered the special seafood rice bowl for 3000 yen!
My wife ordered the sashimi set meal for 1500 yen!
Since we were there anyway, we decided to order the fried horse mackerel for 450 yen as well!
It's here!!
The meal comes with a salad, miso soup, steamed egg custard, pickles, and wasabi!
The visuals are so stunning, they don't just live up to expectations, they exceed them!
oh!!
Truly breathtaking! A dazzling shine!!
It's piled high with sea urchin, salmon roe, tuna, sardines, seared bonito, flounder, yellowtail, octopus, sea bream, and striped jack!
This is amazing!!!
▼ Sashimi set meal (ordered by my wife) 1500 yen, extra rice +150 yen
My wife ordered the sashimi set meal for 1500 yen, with an extra-large portion of rice for an additional 150 yen!
Wow, this is the quality we've finally achieved! (lol)
The last time I ate here, the portion of rice was too small and unsatisfying, so I ordered a large portion this time, and wow, a really large portion arrived! (lol)
This set meal was also very satisfying!
In addition to this, I saw other customers ordering the daily special, which was a luxurious 1500 yen set meal with saury and sashimi!
You can thoroughly enjoy the menu even if it changes daily, so I'm thinking, "Maybe I'll order the daily special next time!"
I also ordered fried horse mackerel!!
It's quite large!
This looks delicious too!
This is the fatty part of the tuna, like the toro (fatty tuna)!
This is irresistible!!
We also discovered an octopus that wasn't visible on the surface!
This was delicious too!!
The eggs were also delicious with their sweet seasoning!
This is irresistible!!
And the one thing you absolutely must try is this "fried horse mackerel"!
With one bite, the batter is crispy, and the horse mackerel inside is literally "fluffy"!
The chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), though small, was a refined dish with a rich flavor!
This is a truly satisfying product!

Wow!! It was delicious!!
As expected, any restaurant with a connection to "Koda Fresh Fish" has delicious fish!
While there are many other seafood rice bowl restaurants and sashimi restaurants in Nagasaki that are popular with
tourists , Koda Shokudo is definitely a must-visit!
It's so much better than the previous location, I can't recommend it at all!!
I highly, highly recommend it, so please come to Nagasaki to try it! 🙇
Thank you for reading to the end!
I look forward to your continued support!
