The lightly flavoured soup is topped with perfectly matched cod and prawn dumplings and chicken meatloaf, and also goes very well with condiments like spring onions, ginger, perilla leaves and shredded chilli.

Once you're seated, you'll be handed a fishing rod and some bait, after which you're free to go fish. Bear in mind: there's no such thing as 'catch and release' here. If you caught it, you bought it. Expect to spend ¥4,000 to ¥5,000 on dinner, though the price varies according to catch. Zauo does fish well, and even grilled it’s moist and light.

A combination of remarkably high product quality and premium store merchandising yields a palpable, 'This is a 100 yen shop?!' reaction. Seria’s fresh, friendly and homely feel makes it an all-round pleasurable experience to shop there. The product selection is roughly equal parts home necessities, DIY craft supplies, and clever knick-knacks. Seria stores are sometimes freestanding but also found inside most Marui malls.

Takashimaya is a renowned Japanese department store chain that traces its history to the opening of a small kimono shop in Kyoto in 1831, and has a large outlet on the south side of Shinjuku Station. Compared to nearby Odakyu and Keio department stores, Takashimaya serves a more upmarket clientele and offers a wide selection of luxury goods. It’s comparable to Mitsukoshi, whose best-known store is in Tokyo’s ritzy Ginza shopping district.
