Many of the new restaurant’s specialties include a number of seafood dishes, including the scallop and crab steamed dumplings for ¥780 (US$6.77).

Another popular recommendation for diners is the bountiful selection of fresh fish, caught in the morning and cooked to your liking.

With prices on the menu starting at ¥480, there are plenty of affordable options to choose from.

Looking around the restaurant, even more charming reminders of the bathhouse remain, like this sign by the kitchen that reads: “Please refrain from using hair dye in the bathing area.”

If you’re looking for an unusual place to enjoy a meal in Tokyo, it doesn’t get much more unique than this! After eating at the restaurant, diners are said to leave with a cozy, refreshed feeling, reminiscent of stepping out from a bathhouse, which is a wonderful way to maintain the beauty of a historic tradition while mixing it up with the world of modern dining.
