Fake reviews removed

A long-established active seafood restaurant on Lake Hamana's shores, founded in 1912 (Taisho 1). Established by fisherman Kojiro Yamada, its iconic 'Katsu Tendon' features live kuruma shrimp from its own tank—fried to order—at its prime location in front of Maisaka Port. Tabelog 3.52 / 309 reviews, TripAdvisor 4.3. Featured on TBS 'Lavit!' in July 2025. A regular says 'same great taste as 20 years ago,' symbolizing the authentic flavour that has been preserved for generations.

"The plump texture of live kuruma shrimp can't be found anywhere else." "Moved by how the taste is unchanged from 20 years ago." "Worth the trip to Lake Hamana." "You can't talk about Hamamatsu without having the Katsu Tendon."
