This is a great, unpretentious Japanese 'diner' serving hearty Japanese set meals with huge portions. You know the minute you walk up to it, that this is a place with history and soul. The sashimi lunch set comes with enough rice for two, the most sashimi I've ever been served, soup, pickles, a boiled egg, and natto! You won't go hungry. Unless you're looking for superficial trendy gimmicks, you won't be disappointed.

I went there with six other people and we were seated at a long table, which gave me a nice view of the whole restaurant as the staff worked. We ordered appetizers (fries with cheese sauce) and some beer (pitcher). It was obvious that the customers there were there to chill out, so it was easy to just sit back and relax as the staff did there stuff. We ordered spaghetti, garlic fried rice with beef (my favorite) and hamburger in a sour soup with avocado on top (strange combo, not my favorite). All in all it was a good experience for us. If I went back there, I would definitely not have the hamburger. I couldn't figure out why they added avocado and the sour soup. The meat itself was great...not just ground hamburger but rather a steaky texture. The garlic rice with sliced beef on top was delicious. It is a few minutes walk from the train station. Enjoy!

Like any good authentic Japanese restaurant, English is not spoken here. Reservation is required and they have a dress code. No shorts or anything too casual. Costs around US$100,- per person excluding drinks. Stay away from their house wine, extremely disappointing.Kamakurayama is not accessible via public transport as it's located on the hill, quite a distance from the city center. You will need to arrange your own transport. The restaurant compound itself is worth visiting. Old Japanese mansions with wooden sliding doors, that opens to a Japanese style garden.We ordered the roast beef set menu, which came with an assortment of seasonal sashimi and fried baby ayu. As fresh as you can get. The scallop came still attached to its shell. The waiter showed us a bowl full of live baby ayu before returning to the kitchen to fry it. "French" onion soup came next, topped with a very small chunk of cheese. Nothing special. The wagyu roast beef that came after was the highlight of the meal (hence the restaurant name). Cooked to perfection. With plenty of fat that melted easily. Comes with a choice of consomme or garlic sauce. Probably the best roast beef I've had in my life. Dessert tray came too late after the main course. We waited at least 15 minutes after the main course. Pretty good honey pudding and strawberry short cake. All things considered, aside from their house red wine and slow service, I really enjoyed their roast beef. Would return.

I always have the margarita pizza and the Kamakura craft beer on tap. Every time I'm in Kamakura I come here for lunch (set menu). It always full of Japanese women having lunch on weekdays. It's the only place I know where you can get award winning Kamakura beer on tap, but they don't have the full range. Sit outside if the weather is OK and catch some rays. A word of warning avoid the hot chips, soggy and soaked in oil both times I've ordered them. The pizza is good. This is sort of Aussie pub standard fare that doesn't disappoint. Don't expect 'fine dining'!

This is the original Sangosho restaurant (honten) that started the whole franchise.My wife and I have been fans of their boil in the bag 'Dry Curry' for a few years now but had never visited the place.Finally the real thing!We were very lucky, as it was 14:30 on a wednesday that we visited.Empty car park and empty seats.I hear there's a big queue during peak times.Although we both had to have our dry curries, their popular dish is Beef Cutlet Curry.
