About this place
Even if seafood is what brings you to Hakozaki Komura, the breadth of the menu may make choosing a pleasure. Alongside assorted sashimi, visitors mention menchi-katsu, fried taro and dashimaki tamago, a rolled omelette seasoned with dashi. You can build an evening around fish or add fried dishes and eggs to the mix.
One diner described a meal that began with aubergine, Japanese parsley and scallops in a light dashi broth, followed by fried water eggplant and pike conger served with the restaurant’s original tartar sauce. The same account praised the tender texture of the simmered beef and the crisp kakiage fritter, and noted the aroma of sansho pepper in the rice served to finish. It paints a picture of choosing individual dishes and pairing them with sake.
For a final course—or a main dish beyond seafood—consider the special beef-tail hayashi rice, which appears on the menu and is also recommended by a visitor. Pork shabu-shabu and alfonsino shabu-shabu require booking by the previous day, so ask ahead if you are planning a hot-pot meal. One visitor also said the restaurant served a single portion of a dish split between two people, which may suit diners who want to sample a little together.
