What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ajisai is celebrated for its exceptionally fresh sashimi and seafood, often described as the best in the area, complemented by attentive service and a good sake selection. However, some diners have experienced disappointing service and found certain dishes, like Pad Thai and tempura, to be greasy or bland, leading to varied opinions on value for money.
"Wonderful. The chef's cooking was perfect. The sashimi I had there was the best I have had in a very long time of living in Japan
Service was great. Price was VERY reasonable. About 4000- 5000 yen per person including a few drinks and you'll leave very satisfied. Of you're a non drinker probably 2000-3000 would do it. They thankfully have an English menu available too."

"Service was very bad. Over priced and food wasn’t very good. Avoid if you can."

"(Translated by Google) I used it when I went on a trip to Shodoshima with my friend and family.
Since it was a three-day holiday, only those who had made advance reservations were able to enter.
It felt somewhat nostalgic, like an old-fashioned izakaya.
The food was very delicious.
Great food when served! It got me in the mood for traveling. Everything on the menu I ordered was delicious. Especially the soup is amazing!
You can see that they take a lot of time and effort to make the soup stock. I want to make it at home, but I don't think it would be possible to reproduce it lol
I regret that I should have bought Nozawana Nori as a souvenir.
Thank you to the general and staff for the meal! !

友人家族と小豆島旅行へ行った際に利用させて貰いました。
三連休だったので事前予約していた人のみ入店出来ました。
昔ながらの居酒屋という感じでどことなく懐かしく感じました。
料理はとても美味しかったです。
付き出しの時点で立派な料理！旅行気分を盛り上げてくれました。頼むメニュー全て美味しかったです。特にあら汁が素晴らしい！
手間暇かけて出汁を取っていることが分かります。家で作りたいけどこれは再現不可能だろうあなぁ笑
お土産に野沢菜のりを買っておけば良かったなぁ、と後悔しています。
大将、スタッフの皆さん、ご馳走様でした！！"
