I travelled down south to Enoshima Island from Kamakura, and I highly recommend visiting this awesome destination! Enoshima is absolutely beautiful, and a half-day trip is enough to explore the island’s attractions, just be prepared for plenty of walking and hiking.

Visit the various shrines, walking off the beaten track, explore the Iwaya Cave, and take in the breathtaking views of the Chigogafuchi Abyss. The vibe here is amazing, with the sun, sea, and nature combining to create a calming atmosphere. Head over to the Sunset Terrace at Sea Candle to witness a beautiful dusk, where the sun’s warm rays illuminate the sky and reflect off the ocean.

After relaxing by the sea breeze at a nearby coastal embankment, I went to a local seafood restaurant, drawn in by the mouthwatering food displays outside.

I decided on the Enoshima-themed Meal (¥4180), which included a Seafood Donburi, Chawanmushi with Whitebait, Whitebait Tempura, Grilled Turban Shellfish, and Miso Soup with Sea Lettuce.

The Seafood Donburi featured an assortment of pink medium fatty tuna, greater amberjack, salmon, whiskered velvet shrimp, conger eel, boiled whitebait, tamago, and sakura shrimp, beautifully arranged over a generous portion of vinegared rice. At first glance, the bowl seemed small, but as I dug in, I realised it was deceptively large. It felt like the rice kept multiplying with every scoop! The seafood was fresh, tender, and umami-packed.

The Whitebait Tempura was enormous, crispy, crunchy, and with a fantastic texture. However, the taste was slightly plain and could get jelak from the greasiness, though the savoury dipping sauce helped elevate the flavour. The Chawanmushi with Whitebait was savoury and comforting, with smooth, slurpable custard infused with whitebait dashi. The Grilled Turban Shellfish was juicy, offering a small portion of firm, chewy meat with shoyu flavour. Finally, the Miso Soup with Sea Lettuce was warm and soothing.

Curious... See more in Comments.

Curious, I also tried the Whitebait Tofu (¥550), a unique dish said to be the only tofu in the world made with shirasu. Handmade daily in the morning, the tofu had a firm, slightly mushy texture and a rich beany taste. It was much larger than expected.

I definitely underestimated the size of this meal!
