We went to Enoshima Koya(江の島小屋) because we heard that there is a cafeteria where you can have an elegant breakfast while enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the sea, the sky, and the harbor.

Visit the restaurant
It is located at the mouth of the Sakai River, at the foot of Katase Bridge, about a 3-5 minute walk from Katase Enoshima Station on the Odakyu Line. We arrived at 8:15, which is the opening time plus 15 minutes. At this point, there were already 5 groups of less than 20 people in line. We waited at the end of the line for about 30 minutes and were able to enter the restaurant around 8:45.

Looking at Google Map and Instagram (location), it seems that they are all equally famous.
Actual meal
Although I am interested in the "Broiled sea bream with bonito shavings and egg on rice" which is shaved in front of my eyes, I had the "Fisherman's soup set meal" this time.
- Fisherman's soup set meal: 1,820 yen
- Fisherman's soup (with 2 fish fritters)
- Sashimi (bonito/bincho tuna, I think)
- gohan (rice)
- Fish meal (in the gourd in the center of the photo)
Detailed impressions are below.
Fisherman's Soup (with 2 Fish Fritters)
- This is a fish soup. It is not the clear, elegant, seasoned, clear or white soup you sometimes see. It was a wild fisherman's soup with plenty of flaked fish meat and the aroma of soy sauce.
- The fish fritters, which you crunch up into bite-size pieces, taste like bone crackers. The fish fritters, which are crumbled and eaten with a crunchy bite, taste like bone crackers. They are as intense as the fisherman's soup.
Sashimi (bonito/bincho tuna...I think)
- Three sashimi are listed here. The sashimi is not only fresh, but also has a refreshing aroma of yuzu (Japanese citron) casually added to the dish. Very tasty 😋.
Rice
- This is ordinary rice. It is cooked fluffy. Since the fisherman's soup is quite large, you should have ordered a large serving of rice for 100 yen more.
Fish meal (in the gourd in the center of the photo)
- The waiter said, "Please pour it over the fisherman's soup as you like. Fisherman's soup tastes very much like fish. I don't think you need to put fishmeal on it.
Reviews
Comments
It was indeed a healthy and delicious breakfast. I thoroughly enjoyed the fish fritters, fisherman's soup, sashimi, and three other dishes that focus on fish.
This fisherman's soup is a menu item that I have not even seen elsewhere.
The menu on the restaurant's website includes information about the producers and an explanation of the restaurant's commitment to its ingredients. I am not sure of the details, but I am sure that the menu we tried was delicious.
From the window of the restaurant, we could see the blue sky, white clouds, and the harbor, which made for a pleasant dining experience.
When sightseeing in Shonan/Enoshima/Kamakura, it would be a good idea to have breakfast here before leaving.
Note
We arrived at 8:15 this time and still had to wait about 30 minutes.
I recommend visiting before opening time.
