  • Famous jumbo fried shrimp
  • Popular homemade tartar sauce
  • Acclaimed thick-cut fried horse mackerel
  • Generous set meal portions
  • Lively daytime drinking atmosphere
  • Welcoming for solo diners
  • Long-established eatery founded in 1973

The signature dish of Sugamo Tokiwa Shokudo is jumbo fried shrimp coated in coarse breadcrumbs. The classic way to enjoy it is by pairing the crispy coating and plump shrimp with plenty of their popular homemade tartar sauce. Thick, fluffy fried horse mackerel and large fried oysters that appear in autumn and winter are also served piping hot. Thickly sliced tuna and bonito sashimi, as well as a mixed fry set meal offering multiple fried items on a single plate, are also available, making it easy to see why so many customers are satisfied with the generous portions and fair pricing. Retaining the charm of its 1973 founding while brightened up by renovations, the spacious interior holds 74 seats across table and counter arrangements. Alongside regulars sipping beer or sours from midday, many visitors stop by on their way back from praying at Togenuki Jizo-son or strolling the shopping arcade, warmly welcomed by brisk and cheerful service.
