About this place
Choose a main, and the set comes with sashimi, a small side dish, rice and miso soup. Visitors describe lunch at Bimi Hideki as a satisfying spread of dishes to enjoy alongside a bowl of white rice.
The menu changes from day to day: sometimes there is one main, while on other days diners can choose between two. One reported lunch paired sea bream fried with mentaiko—spicy, seasoned cod roe—with vegetable tempura. The fish was thinly sliced and wrapped around the roe, and one diner enjoyed it with the pink rock salt served alongside rather than dipping sauce. Another visitor who ordered the same main on a different day noted its crisp, light batter and tempura of king oyster mushroom, aubergine and shishito pepper. For a non-fried option, one day's main was salt-grilled mackerel. Other diners have mentioned choosing fried horse mackerel or flounder tempura. The changing menu offers different ways to enjoy fish, whether grilled or fried.
Sashimi is another highlight of the lunch set. Visitors have reported seasonal firefly squid, seared bonito and amberjack on one occasion, and Spanish mackerel and bonito on another. One diner described placing each slice on rice, enjoying the sashimi alongside the grilled or fried main. The small side dishes also vary, with examples including tofu topped with whitebait, potato salad and simmered kiriboshi daikon. One visitor singled out a simmered dish of glass noodles, Chinese cabbage and pork as especially good with rice. There is plenty to enjoy a little at a time, beyond the main dish.
One diner liked the slightly firm rice, while another noted that the miso soup had a pronounced dashi flavour. A visitor reported that extra rice cost more, so bear that in mind if you have a hearty appetite. One lunch was reported at ¥1,000 including tax, but check the menu and price when you visit, as both may change.
This Japanese restaurant is in Tamatsukuri Motomachi and serves lunch on weekdays. Visitors have reported that it fills up around midday and that some dishes sold out early, so arriving early may be wise if you have a particular daily special in mind. The evening menu also includes options such as sashimi and sake, and reservations are recommended for dinner.
