"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"

"This Kamayaki (grilled fish collar) was absolutely divine, with a volume worthy of being certified as a "Deca-Mori" (extra-large portion) gourmet experience. The perfect balance of size and perfectly cooked, fluffy texture made it a true masterpiece. I've found my new favorite lunch spot! Located just a minute's walk from Tsukiji Station in Tokyo"

"Just a 4-minute walk from Tsukiji Station! I visited "Mata Koi Ya Sōhonten" (Again Come Home Main Store)! This is a seafood donburi (rice bowl) specialty store run by "Megumi Food", the company behind Ginza's "Sushi Kibun" and "Okame" in Toyosu Market. Opened in November 2003 along the arcade outside Tsukiji Market, it quickly became a popular spot"

"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"

"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 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"

"A branch of a restaurant located in Ryogoku. Around 6 pm on a weekday, it was about 70% full, with a few reserved seats. Hasegawa Tonkatsu 180g for 2700 yen, a pork cutlet with garlic, perilla, and cheese. It was served in about 20 minutes. I had the impression it would be rich, but it was lighter than I expected. Maybe because I chose the loin, th"

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"

"This is a sushi restaurant located at the entrance of the Tsukiji Outer Market, a place that could be considered the origin of sushi. 🍣 It's a great place to grab a quick bite while standing. I ordered the chef's recommendation, and then when the menu was updated, I placed another order. That day, I enjoyed the Okame-style sushi with a side of chop"

"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 "

"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.
