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 recommend this place. The staff is also fantastic. Thank you for the delicious meal! ■ Today's Lunch Beer ¥600 Green Tea ¥300 A Set ¥1950 Single Order - Shitsugawa ¥400 Single Order - Murotsu ¥700 Squid with Crab Roe & Uni Mix ¥500 Total ¥4450 ■ Please Note Cash Only All Seats Non-Smoking🚭
Located in a building facing a major street, just a 5-minute walk from Tsukiji Station, the location is excellent. I went there because I wanted to eat oysters. The interior is quite open, without any partitions, giving off a vibe similar to a casual izakaya. They offer a wide variety of oysters, ranging from around ¥400 to ¥2,000, all incredibly fresh. The oysters are large and satisfying to eat! They also have delicious dishes like oysters seasoned with butter and miso. Additionally, they allow you to bring your own drinks, which is a great option for pairing with the oysters. As for the service, it's similar to a casual izakaya, with a hands-off approach. It might not be suitable for those seeking attentive service.
As a traveler from Hong Kong, I found the oysters here to be incredibly fresh and diverse. We sampled six different varieties, pairing them with Japanese sake, and it was a truly delicious experience. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning on my next visit.
If you want to eat oysters, this is the place to be. It's not that there's nothing but oysters, but it's true that there's nothing but oysters! They serve fresh oysters in four different ways. The seafood salad is also excellent. It's a great place to quickly grab a bite and a drink before moving on to the next spot. The origin of the oysters changes depending on the season, so I'm looking forward to trying them again at a different time.
A place where you can enjoy fresh oysters. You absolutely must try the Saikyo butter grilled oysters! They are absolutely delicious. I will definitely go back again✨
