"I was craving their morning set, so I rushed over and arrived at the cafe at 10:50 am. It said they served it until 11 am, and when I sat down, the morning menu was on the table, so I was happy thinking, "I made it!" But I couldn't order it. The people sitting diagonally in front of me were having the morning set, so I was really disappointed. 😭"

"I initially went to the main Sushi Dai, but it was closed for a break, so I wandered around and ended up here. Tsukiji Market felt like it was overpriced for tourists, but this place offered good quality for the price, and it felt like a casual sushi spot. There were three groups ahead of me, so I waited a little over 30 minutes. Since it’s a stand"

"July 24, 2024 (Wednesday)    I met up with a former boss for drinks after a long time.    It was the day of the "Doyou no Ushi" (Day of the Ox), so we decided to go for eel.    We chose Miyagawa Hon-den. When I called, they said they weren't taking reservations that day and had a limited menu.    Thinking it might be less crowded, I arrived aro"

"I visited on a weekday afternoon and waited about 5 minutes. This time, I ordered the "Salt Ramen, Medium Size" recommended by a friend. I also ordered extra seaweed and rice. The ramen arrived in about 5 minutes. The toppings were plentiful, including bamboo shoots, green onions, and chicken chashu, and the presentation was beautiful. The light br"

"This is an old-fashioned soba noodle restaurant established in 1899. I recommend the value-for-money "Three-Color Soba Lunch" set. The seasonal soba noodles have a distinct flavor and are something I look forward to enjoying every month. For some reason, all the staff members are cute women. It's also great that they accept credit cards and Pa"

"Akamutsu is another name for nodoguro, while kuromutsu remains kuromutsu. This isn't a foreshadowing of what I'm about to talk about. We had a summer project wrap-up party at an izakaya in Tsukiji. It's not clear what exactly was wrapped up, but we didn't see any fireworks this year, so it wouldn't hurt to celebrate once in a while. It was a se"

"This restaurant has been on my radar for a while, as I pass it on the way to work. It's a new branch of the popular 'Kamo to Negi' (Duck and Scallion) restaurant in Ueno, opened by the same company in Tsukiji last year, targeting the inbound market. The interior is stylish, but the service is not great, and the customers' manners are even worse. If"

"I visited "Chika no Iki" located on the B1 floor of the Ky Building at the Tsukiji 4-chome intersection. It's an oyster specialty store. Their main dishes are raw oysters and grilled oysters. You can enjoy oysters from various regions, and you can tell they are fresh and have no fishy smell. It's the perfect time of year for oysters, so I highly re"

"I ordered the C set with an omelet for ¥1200, as I heard it was famous. It was a bit pricey for me, but I don't come to this area often and I was looking forward to the taste of this long-established restaurant. First, the soup. It was a classic Western-style corn soup, delicious, but the portion was a bit small. When I entered, I saw other custome"

"I visited for lunch on a weekday. There was a 7-person wait, but I was able to get in after about 15 minutes. The interior was just as hot as outside, making it a tough environment in the middle of summer. This time, I ordered the "Grilled Silver Salmon + Nakaochi." The food was served right after I sat down, so the turnover was incredibly fa"

"The prices for wine and food are reasonable. The chairs were a bit high and uncomfortable to sit in. The space isn't huge, but it seems like it could accommodate a small group to a moderate-sized gathering."

"I heard the prosciutto was delicious, so I stopped by on my way back from a business trip. The owner and staff were very friendly and made me feel right at home. I ordered the four-piece prosciutto platter. Each slice had a completely different flavor and texture, and I was blown away by how delicious it was! For pasta, I had the young corn agl"

"Located a 3-minute walk from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, "Tsukiji Fuke Sōka" is a soba noodle restaurant established in 2004 (Heisei 16). This establishment is part of the Sōka lineage, founded by the eldest son of the renowned "Fuke Sōka" in Ōmori, who inherited the family tradition. I visited on a Saturday at 12:30 pm. There w"

"The lunch here offers the best value for money. I always order the "Sakanahachi Teishoku" (Fish Eight Set Meal) for lunch. For ¥820, the variety, volume, and taste are unbeatable. It's always crowded with customers, and there's usually a line. The meal includes plenty of vegetables, a whole piece of mackerel simmered in miso, two pieces of fried ch"

"I made a reservation for a weekday evening and went with a friend. We sat at the counter. The appetizers were delicious, and the duck pot was truly amazing. I was so happy. The hand-made soba noodles at the end were also fantastic. The chef had a calm demeanor, and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. I definitely want to go back. I went back "

"**[Donburi 100 Best Shops] Series (Special Edition)** A Budget-Friendly Uni Donburi in Tsukiji! Located a 5-minute walk from Tsukiji Station, I visited "Suzuki Suisan." It's situated along the Harumi Dori street. Arriving around 9:30 am on a weekday, there was no wait. I was able to enter smoothly. I ordered the "Nakaochi Uni Donburi" for 1,"

"Having been established in the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple for 15 years, this is Seiju. Due to the location, it's mostly frequented by long-time regulars or Ginza ladies accompanied by their friends, but that's just how it is. However, they silently and meticulously fry the ingredients in a thin batter, using beautiful, simple oil. The shrim"

"This restaurant is located in Tsukiji. It's from a very famous establishment. Personally, I prefer Nakagawa. I think that when it comes to restaurants that specialize in tempura, sushi, or eel, finding a place you love is part of the fun. And of course, eating at a counter seat adds a bit of tension, which makes the experience exciting and thrillin"

"The only restaurant among the graduates of "Sugita" in Nihonbashi Kakigara-cho that displays a double name on its curtain is "Sushi-ya Yamato" 👍. At the recent 20th anniversary event for "Sugita", the disciples also came and showcased their sibling sushi together. It seems the event was a great success. On this day, Sushi Ichinaga's Sato-san, who h"

"We made a reservation for the chef's choice and went. The chef was very friendly, so we could relax and enjoy a delicious meal. The omakase course and drinks cost about 70,000 yen for two people. Considering the location, I think it's relatively reasonable."

"I finally got a reservation at my favorite restaurant! It's a place where you can enjoy the food with your eyes as well as your taste buds. I definitely plan on coming back again."

"I had been wanting to visit this restaurant, PRIMO PASSO, ever since I learned about it. It's a place that serves a course menu with a whopping five out of twelve dishes being pasta, a true pasta feast! The concept is so bold, and I thought it would take a lot of skill and confidence to pull it off... So, I finally got to visit. Man, it was delic"

"I had heard so much about this restaurant and had high expectations. When I finally went, it exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a truly Japanese dining experience, but with subtle accents that make it visually appealing and delicious. The seasonal ingredients and meticulous techniques shine through in every detail, and the atmosphere is fa"
