This is hands down my favorite deepfried shrimp (ebifry) place in Japan.

I must have taken more than 10 friends to this restaurant including my girlfriend, ex-girlfriends and parents. You have to visit early at around 11am in order to order their Big Ebifry because they will sell out in the afternoon. Also, recommend visiting during weekdays as you will be lining up on weekends.

About:

Sazanami in Toba offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on taste, freshness, and generous portions. Their Fried Shrimp Meal is a must-try, featuring succulent shrimp frozen right after being caught for ultimate freshness. The seafood dishes sourced from local fishing ports like Toba and Isobe are also highly recommended. With a cozy setting and options for private rooms, Sazanami is perfect for a relaxing meal with family or friends.
