Delicious! In a time where sushi is becoming more expensive at supermarkets and convenience stores, the fact that this place offers such great taste for just one coin is amazing. I had been curious for a while and finally had the chance to stop by, and I think the cost performance is really good. It's strange that the original menu item in Nezu is duck meat, but it's delicious.

Is this a business model that is closer to a division of a chain store rather than a franchise? Each store has its own original bowl, so it's fun to see the differences between them. The original dish at this place in Nekoya is called "Yanesen Don," which is a unique bowl with duck meat in it. [Revisit] March 2016: I have always been a fan of the "Bara Don," so I used to visit frequently. This time, I ordered the "Neta Mori" which had more toppings but seemed to have less compared to before. The sauce was also lighter, giving an overall more "elegant" feel. As someone who loves to eat a lot of fish, I miss the days when the toppings were overflowing and the green onions were not covered by the lid. The taste was just right before, not too salty or too sweet, with the flavors of tuna and salmon blending well. The staff seemed different, and since the quantity and taste have changed, I will take a break from visiting for a while. May 2015: I love fish, so I always order the "Bara Don" with various toppings! The toppings are marinated, so those who don't like strong flavors can eat it as it is, making it convenient to eat at work or in the nearby park. The toppings vary depending on the store, but here, it often includes tuna, salmon, shrimp, egg, cucumber, shredded crab meat, and flying fish roe. Since I love all these toppings, I always end up ordering the Bara Don when I come here. Noteworthy is the quality of the toppings. While they may not be outstanding, I have never received frozen or improperly thawed toppings, and for this price, the quality of the toppings is impressive. They also offer sashimi, which I have not tried, but it's nice to have the option to easily enjoy seafood. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere around the store is pleasant, making it a comfortable place to shop for seafood.

When I went to the Azalea Festival at Negishi Shrine, I felt a little hungry, so I was drawn to the affordability of the prices here (all items for 525 yen each!) as I passed by on Shinobazu Street. There were so many different types of rice bowls to choose from that I couldn't decide. I wanted to try something with a variety of toppings, so I chose the Okhotsk Bowl. After waiting for 4-5 minutes, it was served. I sat on the bench outside the shop, poured soy sauce over it, and started eating. It was not bad at all. It had crab meat, shredded crab meat, crab miso, shrimp, sea urchin, salmon roe, and flying fish roe on top, and all for 525 yen, which is a great deal. The size of the bowl is not very big, so it might not be enough for men, but you can opt for a large rice portion for an additional 105 yen, extra toppings for 210 yen, or a special large serving for 315 yen. I don't think women would need these options though. The convenience, affordability, and decent taste make this a user-friendly shop that I might find myself coming back to if it's nearby.

"Donburi no Donmaru" is a chain seafood bento shop where all bentos are priced at 525 yen, which is a great deal. The taste is average since it's a chain store, but it's rare to find a place selling seafood bentos around here, so it's quite valuable. The portions are generous. I especially enjoy the "Fish Market Don" (negitoro, tuna, ikura, sea urchin, squid) and the "Okhotsk Don" (crab, ikura, sea urchin, sweet shrimp, crab miso, flying fish roe) which are both lavish. Sometimes I buy a bento here and enjoy it leisurely at Nezu Shrine.

(Visited on Saturday, July 2, 2011) This is a chain of takeout seafood bowl restaurants with multiple locations in Tokyo. I have found the branch called "Sasago" (Negishi branch) to be quite convenient. In the same category, I decided to visit (takeout) this restaurant. The seafood bowl menu offers dozens of options, priced at 525 yen. The price is the same as Sasago. At Donmaru, they provide a powdered miso soup pack instead of disposable chopsticks, which is a good deal for enjoying at home. When I ordered the seafood bowl, it was served in no time. This was surprising, but I wonder if it was pre-made? I took it home with a bit of uncertainty. The bowl was filled with a generous amount of ingredients: tuna, negitoro, salmon, and squid. The portion was the same as Sasago. As for the taste, the tuna seemed a bit bland. The salmon and squid were average, and the negitoro had a slightly fishy taste, similar to fish nearing its expiration date at a supermarket, a bit subtle. This texture would not be noticed at Sasago. Considering the price, it would be impolite to complain, as it is fair for the price. However, I hope they improve the quality of the ingredients a bit more. Sasago surpasses them in terms of the quality of the ingredients. If they can be more selective with the ingredients, they could become even more popular. Thank you for the meal.

I used this restaurant because I didn't have time to go out in Tokyo. The restaurant is hidden between buildings, but if you pay attention, you can find it as there is a steady flow of people. It is a sushi restaurant, and it is for takeout only, so you need to have a place to eat secured. The price for all items is 525 yen. I was overwhelmed by the extensive menu and couldn't decide what to order. Eventually, I ordered a salmon bowl. The menu was included in the bag, which I wish I had seen earlier. The variety of menu items is vast, and it would take a long time to try them all. I might visit again in the future, so this time I tried the salmon bowl. I will keep a record of the menu I received in the image. #Regarding the salmon, it was essentially a salmon bowl, which satisfied my love for salmon. The wasabi and other condiments were nothing special, given the price.

While heading towards Nezu for work, I stumbled upon Donmaru. I often visit the shops in Inari-cho, but this was my first time here, so I decided to give it a try. Donmaru is a takeout-only shop, and the presentation of the dishes really depends on whether it's a staff member or a part-timer. I ordered the sashimi assortment, tuna three-piece platter, and scallop and salmon roe rice bowl. The menu here is quite extensive, so it can be a bit overwhelming to decide. Unlike the shops in Inari-cho where the staff recommend dishes, there was no such guidance here. The sashimi in the assortment was generously sized and delicious. The rice bowls were also generously topped, almost hiding the vinegar rice underneath, which was nice. However, as I continued eating, I realized that while it is tasty, it doesn't quite reach the level of sashimi from a fish market, though it is definitely above supermarket quality. Considering the price, it makes sense. Nevertheless, it was delicious.

I went to a takeout-only rice bowl restaurant called "Donmaru" located about 3 minutes from Konan Station, heading towards Sendagi Station on Funabashi Street. The restaurant opened just this September, and the exterior looks clean with a striking sign for "seafood rice bowls started by a sushi restaurant" and the words "uniform 525 yen!" Surprisingly, all menu items are priced at 525 yen, including those with expensive ingredients like sea urchin and salmon roe! There are options for extra rice for 630 yen, extra toppings for 735 yen, and a special large serving for 840 yen. They also offer miso soup for 30 yen. The daily recommendations are written on a blackboard, but the regular menu alone had 68 varieties displayed in front of the shop! On that day, I tried the recommended "Toro Trio Bowl (seared toro, medium toro, negitoro)". By declining chopsticks and soy sauce, they offered me a complimentary miso soup. The order was quickly prepared and served within seconds. The bowl had a generous amount of toppings, with wasabi and pickled ginger included. The rice was firm and not easily visible under the toppings. The amount of toppings was so surprising that I couldn't see the rice at all. The medium toro had more fat compared to the seared toro. It was a bit overwhelming with the amount of seaweed and I felt a bit short on rice, leading to slight indigestion. However, the seared toro was refreshing. The negitoro had a normal taste but a generous portion. After finishing the meal, I felt that there was an abundance of toppings compared to the rice. As someone who often leaves rice when eating curry or rice bowls, it was a rare experience for me. I wished there was more ginger and some seaweed on the rice, but for 525 yen, I can't complain. There seem to be other branches of the restaurant as well! Website: http://www.sasafune.co.jp/

There is a notice inside the shop saying that the prices of ingredients have increased due to a major earthquake. It's unfortunate, but it may be unavoidable. (u.u)

I finally went to the seafood bowl restaurant I've been wanting to try for a long time. I had high expectations after hearing about it from other people, so I was a little disappointed. I ordered the tuna and salmon bowl. It was decently tasty. However, compared to what I had heard beforehand, it was a bit disappointing. For example, I was told that "there is an abundance of toppings compared to the rice," but I only got 4 pieces of tuna and 3 pieces of salmon, which wasn't particularly generous. I was also told that "the vinegar flavor is strong," but there wasn't even vinegar rice. And I was told that "they give you soup when you finish your meal," but they didn't. I was especially shocked that there wasn't vinegar rice. The toppings were fresh and tasty, but maybe it's better to just buy a $5 bento box from the supermarket.

I have been walking around this area for a while and the sign that says "Everything is 525 yen" caught my attention. I finally decided to stop by during the cherry blossom viewing at Yanaka Cemetery and made a purchase. - Purpose: It's a takeout specialty store, so it's great for when you have a place to gather but need to get food. For example, renting a room for a company party with canned beer and something to eat. I used it for cherry blossom viewing. - Ordered items: Salmon roe bowl, seafood bowl (for my boss). - Portion size: I'm a woman and I can eat quite a bit, but I still got full. - About the ingredients: The salmon roe bowl had salmon roe and egg toppings, and the salmon roe was a bit small in size, but it's understandable. The seafood bowl looked very filling, and my boss was satisfied. - Other services: It's like fast food sushi. The service is quick from ordering to serving. I don't expect a smile for free. In conclusion, as the title of the review suggests, if you keep the price in mind, you'll find the food reasonably tasty and convenient. I would like to use it again.

According to the restaurant's website, on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month, the price of a dish called "ぐるまぜ丼" is reduced from the regular price of 540 yen to 500 yen. Today, on 1/20, I ordered the "ぐるまぜ丼" for just 500 yen. It came with tuna, squid, onsen tamago, grated yam, grated natto, and finely sliced pickled vegetables. By mixing these ingredients together with a little soy sauce, you can enjoy both seafood and mountain flavors at the same time. It was delicious. Thank you! Next time on 1/30, I also ordered the "爆弾丼" for just 500 yen. I'm not sure why it's called "爆弾丼," but it was packed with seafood and mountain ingredients like tuna, salmon, squid, mentaiko, chopped green onions, grated natto, finely sliced pickled vegetables. It was luxurious and delicious. Thank you for the meal!
