Located along the coastal national route connecting Naruto in Tokushima toward Kagawa, Live Fish Cuisine Bimbiya is a diner founded in 1970 that slaughters and prepares fish swimming in its storefront tanks on the spot. Its signature offering is the assorted sashimi; the thick-cut yellowtail and sea bream deliver a firm, crisp bite, winning tremendous acclaim for freshness only a direct trip from the tank can offer. Another specialty is the miso soup, featuring a rich, concentrated fish bone broth packed with thick Naruto wakame that pulls the meal together. Individual small kamameshi pots like bimbi-meshi, octopus rice, and sea bream rice can be ordered à la carte, and the large plate of sea bream collar simmered sweet and savory is well received for its generous volume and clean, appetizing flavor without any fishy smell. The interior features 92 seats, all tatami seating and fully non-smoking, blending an airy openness looking out toward the Seto Inland Sea from large windows with the bustling energy of a casual eatery. Reservations are not accepted, resulting in daily queues, but dishes are served promptly in teishoku style, with guests writing their names on a waiting list. Budgets typically center around the 2,000 yen range, and payment is cash only.
