No doubt! A restaurant filled with local customers is always a good sign of great food. Kohachi has been a beloved spot for locals for years. They offer a wide variety of shirasu dishes, not just raw or cooked, and their dedication to using only the freshest fish is what makes it a local favorite.
It's the perfect place to hang out with friends, enjoy locally brewed sake, or chat with the locals. The warm and welcoming atmosphere will make you want to stay forever...
OWNER INTERVIEW
The chef tells us
about the specificities of the restaurant and about the charm of Mochimune.
A long-standing bar and restaurant with the true spirit of Mochimune, our establishment has been serving the finest seafood from Suruga Bay for 40 years. Shirasu is one of our most popular offerings, and we feature a variety of shirasu recipes.
Our signature dishes include crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside shirasu dumplings, and aromatic dried shirasu croquettes--both all-time customer favorites.
Another popular dish is roasted dried shirasu served with rice, where the juicy flavors melt together in your mouth. It's also simple to make at home if you'd like to try.

We recommend customers who love to eat Shirasu a "Shirasu festive plate", one of our popular menus. It's full of Shirasu dishes including Shirasu on top of rice, dumpling, croquette, salad etc. and miso soup.
Always close to local people
It is our mission to keep serving good quality fish to locals, they truly know the taste. We are happy that this restaurant has been loved by them for a long long time.
Sometimes our regular customers bring us fresh fish and vegetables, or even fish they've caught themselves at the port. That's one of the wonderful things about being in a port town--it's all about give-and-take and a personal, human connection.
