This morning, I had a sea urchin bowl for 3,300 yen and a small sashimi platter for 1,000 yen (off-menu). The small sashimi platter included bonito, tuna, flathead, and flounder, as well as creamy and delicious horse dung sea urchin on rice. It was incredibly tasty and definitely worth it compared to the chef's choice sushi set.

We went to Takahashi at Toyosu Market on a weekday at 7:30 with two people♪ Last time we visited Toyosu Market, the owner of Takahashi told us, "We have a delicious new ikura bowl in stock." So we decided to check it out♪ First, we carefully looked at the menu in front of the shop to decide what to order♪ The new ikura bowl for 2,000 yen including tax comes with miso soup with clams and a tofu side dish. Since just the ikura bowl seemed a bit plain, we added a topping of 3 slices of salmon sashimi for an additional 500 yen including tax to make it a parent and child bowl♪ Other options like fresh or seared whale meat sashimi that recently arrived at Toyosu Market seemed good too, but at 5,000 yen including tax, it was quite pricey♪ Inside the shop, classical music like Chopin's Heroic Polonaise and Fantaisie-Impromptu was playing in the background♪ The owner of Takahashi greeted us warmly with a smile and took our order♪ We ordered the ikura bowl with less rice and the salmon sashimi, and we were shown the splendid salmon right away♪ The color and freshness were truly impressive♪ The other tuna and scallops also looked very fresh and delicious♪ A large clam was placed on a gas stove to make miso soup, and the ikura bowl was served. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of ikura♪ It was a delightful surprise♪ The ikura was firm and delicious, but the rice was a bit too salty due to the generous amount of sauce. However, the fresh salmon sashimi was delicious, and the hot clam miso soup had a rich flavor that we truly enjoyed♪ It was a satisfying breakfast with a generous amount of ikura bowl in the morning♪ Takahashi offers lavish ikura and salmon bowls as well as delicious clam miso soup, making it highly recommended!

Toyosu Market (Ichiba-mae Station) has a restaurant called Takahashi. This is a counter-only shop with a classy atmosphere. Set meals start from 2000 yen. They also offer a variety of side dishes such as grilled fish and simmered fish. You can upgrade a side dish to a set meal for an additional 500 yen. This time, I had the sashimi assortment set meal. The sashimi includes 3 pieces (tuna, amberjack, scallop) with an extra piece of fatty tuna. The side dish was tofu. The scallop sashimi had a firm and fresh texture without any fishy taste. The thick-cut tuna had a nice balance of acidity and sweetness. The amberjack was fatty and delicious. The miso soup had a rich and flavorful broth that was very satisfying. This is a great place to enjoy a delicious set meal at Toyosu Market!

Today's meal was the king of simmered fish, featuring the highest quality fish "Kin-ki" from Nemuro in a simmered set meal with added pickled vegetables and miso soup with clams. I was originally planning on having hiyashi chuka from Yaji Mansan this morning, but when I checked out Takahashi-san's blog and saw that the Kin-ki simmered dish was on special, I knew I had to go. I immediately called and reserved a spot. The Kin-ki simmered dish was delicious, but the rice soaked in the flavorful broth from the Kin-ki was outstanding. We also received a complimentary watermelon.

We went to Takahashi at Toyosu Market around 7:20 in the morning with two people. The owner warmly welcomed us and we sat at the seats on the left side. Our goal this time was to try the Iwate Murasaki Namahama and Shirauo Namero for 5,000 yen including tax, which we shared between the two of us at half price each. I ordered the New Zealand Indomaguro marinated bowl for 2,000 yen including tax, which came with clam miso soup and a side dish of cold tofu. My friend asked for the owner's recommendation, and he suggested the premium sashimi assortment for 3,000 yen including tax, which usually comes with 3 types but he served us about 6 types, making my friend very happy. The owner even remembered my name, and the marinated tuna bowl had two versions: one marinated for a long time with a dull color, and the other freshly marinated with a bright red color. As a bonus, we also received a scallop which was a delightful surprise. The marinated tuna bowl had a slightly sweet sauce that complemented the warm rice perfectly, and the miso soup with a large clam was delicious. The Iwate Murasaki Namahama and Shirauo Namero were quite expensive at 7,000 yen each, but the freshness and quality were outstanding. Takahashi offers high-quality seafood set meals that are delicious from morning, highly recommended! For more details, please check out the blog link provided.

This time, I had the "Special Sashimi Assortment" and the "Sea Urchin and White Shrimp Namero" that I had been eyeing for two weeks. First, regarding the Special Sashimi Assortment, the third-generation owner selected three types of sashimi for me, and I was delighted to see that it included medium fatty tuna, bonito, marinated flounder, vinegared horse mackerel, girella, and scallops. As for the Sea Urchin and White Shrimp Namero that I had been looking forward to, it was made with "Milk Bottle Saltwater Sea Urchin from Sanriku and White Shrimp from Toyama," and it was absolutely delicious. I had it in a half portion (shared with a friend). It was another satisfying breakfast this morning.

We went to "Takahashi" at Toyosu Market with 3 people on a weekday at 7 am. This time, we wanted to try something different from the delicious Bonzushi Katsuomori sashimi set from Katsuura, Chiba that we had last time. The shop opened a bit earlier than usual at around 7:15, which we found out for the first time. Normally, they open at 7:30, but it opens at 7 am for reservations on Saturdays. The owner kindly opened the shop a bit early for us this time. We sat at the 3 seats in the middle, and as usual, classical music was playing in the background, creating a pleasant atmosphere. This time, they were playing Chopin's Ballade No. 1, which got us excited. Looking at the menu, we asked if we could have a half portion of the Nagasaki's large Ishaki sashimi seared fresh for 5,000 yen including tax, and they agreed. Luckily, it was the last piece of large Ishaki available. We also ordered a half portion of the Bonzushi Katsuomori sashimi seared fresh for 3,000 yen including tax to share between two of us. It's great to have friends to share these dishes with. We also ordered 3 pieces of Anago Nigiri for 1,000 yen including tax, and I ordered a Hamaguri miso soup for 200 yen including tax to stick to my low-carb diet. One of my friends ordered the set meal for an additional 500 yen including tax, which includes rice, miso soup, and cucumber pickles. The other friend ordered the premium sashimi assortment for 3,000 yen including tax with the set meal for an additional 500 yen including tax. The large Ishaki was seared with a big flame and then cooled in ice water. The skin was nicely seared, and it looked delicious. We first tried it with salt, then with sudachi, and finally with wasabi soy sauce, which was all delicious. The Bonzushi Katsuomori was also seared beautifully. The Anago Nigiri was sweet and well-seasoned, and the Hamaguri miso soup was flavorful and delicious. My friend's premium sashimi assortment included Aichi's Hiragai, New Zealand's fresh Indian tuna, and Miyagi's Magochi, all of which were fresh and had a generous portion. My friend from Gifu, who visited Toyosu Market for the first time, was very happy and satisfied. It was a great decision to bring him along. "Takahashi" at Toyosu Market offers high-quality fish dishes that are not easy to come by, making it highly recommended.

Today, I visited this restaurant for the first time for a combined breakfast and lunch. I knew the restaurant was there, but for some reason, I hadn't been able to visit until now. It seems to be a restaurant that specializes in sashimi and side dishes rather than sushi. Originally located in Tsukiji, the restaurant has since moved. I ordered the recommended dishes, anago (conger eel) and tenderly cooked set meal, as well as the bonito and tarako (cod roe). The anago took about 10 minutes to be served after ordering. It was well simmered, but the flesh was a bit thin and the seasoning seemed to have too much sugar for my taste. The tarako still had some frozen parts, which wasn't pleasant in the mouth. Since there are many side dishes, it would be nice to have a wider selection of alcoholic beverages. Overall, it didn't quite suit my taste. I apologize for being critical. Thank you for the meal.

On Monday at 7:00 a.m., I went to "Takahashi" in Toyosu Market for breakfast with a gourmet friend. On Saturdays, "Takahashi" offers a fabulous breakfast for about 10,000 yen by reservation, but on other days you can enjoy a delicious meal for around 2,000 to 3,000 yen, making it a more affordable option. We arrived before 7:00 a.m. and carefully looked at the menu with my friend. There were plenty of options to choose from, making it a tough decision. Some of the choices that stood out were: - Tuna marinated rice bowl with miso soup and side dish for 2,000 yen including tax - Chiba Katsuura-produced local kinme simmered set meal with rice, miso soup, and side dish for 2,000 yen including tax - Soft-boiled Miyagi eel simmered for 2,000 yen including tax - Chiba Katsuura belly-side bonito sashimi seared on the spot for 3,000 yen including tax Additionally, for an extra 500 yen including tax, you could turn it into a set meal with rice, miso soup, and side dishes included. The miso soup that day was a large clam miso soup, and the side dish was tofu. Furthermore, for an additional 2,000 yen, you could upgrade to the special set meal, which included rice, miso soup, four additional side dishes, fruit, and coffee. We decided to go for the Chiba Katsuura belly-side bonito sashimi seared on the spot for 3,000 yen including tax and added the set meal for an extra 500 yen. The restaurant opened at 7:00 a.m., but on that day, it opened a little after 7:10 a.m. We were greeted by a third-generation owner who was very knowledgeable and a young woman. The interior was elegant with a black color scheme, and we were seated at the counter. Classical music by Chopin was playing in the background, which created a fantastic atmosphere. We were served hot hojicha tea, disposable chopsticks, and plates. We ordered the Chiba Katsuura belly-side bonito sashimi seared on the spot for two, and luckily, it was the last portion available that day. The Chiba Katsuura bonito was impressive, and it was the season for first bonito in early July. The owner expertly seared it on a gas stove, and the fat sizzled beautifully. The bonito was then chilled in ice water and served with seaweed, ginger, green onions, and horseradish. It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generous in portion. The clam miso soup was also exceptional, highlighting the rich broth and fresh ingredients. Overall, the experience at "Takahashi" in Toyosu Market was delightful, and I highly recommend it for a taste of seasonal seafood.

I had a delicious meal at a restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality fish with tasty seasoning. I ordered the highest quality Alfonsino fish simmered in soy sauce. It takes about 15 minutes to cook from ordering, but the waiting time is pure bliss. The Alfonsino simmered in soy sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. Placing the fish on top of rice and pouring the richly flavored sauce over it made for an amazing treat. It was a delightful lunch experience.

For lunch on February 15th, I went to Takahashi located on the 3rd floor of the seafood wholesale building at Toyosu Market. I was always curious about this place and finally got the chance to visit. Looking at the menu, there were many interesting fish dishes available. I decided to order the eel simmered in soy sauce set meal for 1,500 yen. I sat at the counter seats and watched the kitchen while waiting. First, a small side dish arrived which was simple tofu, but surprisingly delicious. The sight of the eel being cooked with a powerful flame was impressive. Finally, the main dish arrived. The eel was soft and tender, melting in my mouth. The sauce was tasty, and I couldn't help but drink it all up. Sprinkling a bit of powdered sansho pepper added a nice touch. The miso soup had a large clam in it. The rice was from Toyama Prefecture and was simple in appearance but well-seasoned and satisfying in portion. The assorted sashimi set meal looked delicious too, so I plan to try a different dish next time.

- Miyagi-produced white fish tamagotoji ¥1,000 → Delicious. Seasonal taste. Enjoy while feeling the changing seasons. - Ankou (monkfish) udon ¥2,000 → Amazing. Creates the best day. Rich and hearty from the morning. - Udo (mountain vegetable) ohitashi from Uonuma ¥500 → As a standalone, the vegetable has a strong bitterness. Good as an accent for tamagotoji, zosui, udon, etc. - Mizu gyoza from Otofuke ¥500 → Large and juicy water gyoza. Do not underestimate 4 pieces for 500 yen. - Miyazaki-produced kinkan (kumquat) ¥500 → Can be eaten with the skin. The moderate bitterness and freshness of the taste become addictive. Yes, I went to the produce section after leaving the store.

I finally tried the restaurant I had been curious about for a while. Luckily, there was one seat available at the counter, so I was grateful. Looking at the menu, I decided I wanted to try the ¥3000 Toyama-produced salt-grilled autumn kamasu. I ordered it as a set meal and was informed that it would take some time to grill the fish. I waited eagerly. When the grilled kamasu with a beautiful brown color arrived, I was surprised by the unique type of grilled fish set meal I had never had before. The rice, miso soup, cold tofu, and grilled fish were all simple yet incredibly delicious, leaving me impressed.

Starting the day with a full stomach is a great way to begin a good day. Eating delicious food is the best, after all. - King Salmon (in the middle) 2,000 yen: The taste is not straightforward. The fish has a delicate flavor, and you have to search for the umami while eating it. It is cooked well without becoming dry, maintaining a soft texture. - Yokosuka Hashisui Fishery Grilled Tachiuo (Beltfish) 2,000 yen: Clear umami flavor. After the delicate taste of the King Salmon, the strong umami of the Beltfish is satisfying. It tastes good both raw and grilled, but personally, I prefer the grilled sashimi style. - Hokkaido Nemuro Kin-ki Simmered Fish (with liver) 3,000 yen: A specialty of the restaurant, part of the "Four Heavenly Cooked Fish." A regular item with reliable quality. The liver was generously included. - Special Sashimi Assortment 3,000 yen: Live young Indian tuna, Okayama-sourced Maguro, Shimane Ama-dai vinegar-marinated, Iwate scallop kelp-marinated, local Kinme kelp-marinated, Kanpachi kelp-marinated, Black Mutsu. The gradient of the tuna stands out. The Maguro is the winner in terms of flavor. The Ama-dai vinegar-marinated is also delicious. It was an interesting experience as I only had the image of kelp-marinated sashimi before.

I visited Toyosu Market for the first time. I had never been able to come here due to work commitments, but I finally had some free time and decided to visit. It was nostalgic to see many shops that had been at Tsukiji Market. I visited Takahashi-san's shop, which I used to visit regularly at Tsukiji, after 13 years. I was disappointed to find out that when Toyosu Market first opened, they only served set courses, so I thought I would never be able to eat there again. However, I found out that they also have regular business days, so I visited on one of those days. I had high expectations and ordered the sashimi set, anago simmered dish, and grilled salmon. Unfortunately, my high expectations were not met. The sashimi set was a letdown, with small side dishes and a miso soup that was too refined. The sashimi itself was okay, but the portions of kanpachi and scallops were disappointing. The grilled salmon was overcooked and dry, and the anago simmered dish was the only dish that was decent. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality and performance of the food. I hope that the restaurant can return to its former glory from the Tsukiji days.

The first thing in the morning, Tsukiji Market is crowded only with Sushidai, giving a somewhat lonely feeling. I noticed that they had Menuki on the menu, a rare fish that is not often available, so I made a reservation. The rich flavor of the fat floating in the broth was irresistible. The flesh was firm and delicious. - Kurosaki soybeans (boiled edamame) 300 yen: Fragrant and sweet edamame that makes you want to gulp down beer. - Goshinka (Kumamoto red eggplant and cucumber miso pickles) 200 yen: The eggplant and cucumber have a hint of miso flavor, making it delicious and reasonably priced. - Choshi-produced Jikinme-tsuke (marinated alfonsino) 500 yen: The fish was cooked thoroughly and had a resilient texture, which was good. - Mikurashima-produced Takabe dried fish 1,500 yen: A representative summer fish, the salt-grilled version is delicious. - Rausu-produced Menuki simmered <boneless kamaboko> 6,500 yen: A big win. A specialty of Takahashi, one of the "Four Heavenly Fish Dishes". No words needed, it was great to slip in as the last order. - Black mackerel fish soup soba 500 yen: After eating soba, I want to make rice and egg drop into the condiments and soup to make a porridge. The ultimate finish.

During the rainy season, Tsukiji Market is generally less crowded with customers. In the morning, there are no long lines even at Sushi O-san. On days when you can't stroll outside, it's best to enjoy delicious food and relax. - Grilled conger eel for 500 yen: Still delicious as always. A must-try at the special price. - Miyagi flounder simmered with bones for 500 yen: The meat is carefully removed from the bones. The broth is incredibly tasty. - Toyama white shrimp for 1,000 yen: Elegant and flavorful. Melts in your mouth. It can have a more gooey texture when marinated in kombu, but this version is also great. - Special sashimi assortment for 3,000 yen: Includes small Indian tuna, natural flounder, line-caught horse mackerel, and sweetfish marinated in kombu. All are good, but the sea bream and flounder are exceptional. The sea bream has a soft texture that melts in your mouth. - Small Indian tuna with delicious green onion for 500 yen: As the name suggests, it's tasty. It would also be great to have it as a rice bowl in a set meal.

I enjoyed the ultimate luxury from the morning. - Anago simmered in sweet soy sauce 500 yen -> The size was four times larger than I expected. And it was delicious. I wonder if it's okay for 500 yen, I would have easily ordered it for 1,000 yen before the discount. - Soft simmered eel 1,000 yen -> I sprinkled sansho pepper halfway through and enjoyed the change in taste. It's the best dish, and it felt like I was recognized as a regular customer. - Grilled sweetfish simmered in soy sauce 1,000 yen -> The skin is crispy, but it's delicious overall. Even the bones are tasty. - Salt-grilled red eggplant from Kumamoto 500 yen -> The saltiness makes you crave for sake. The texture is crispy and fluffy. - Sashimi of horse mackerel from Ehime 1,500 yen -> It feels like summer. It's surprising that it's smaller than usual. It has a good amount of fat and a mild taste. Highly recommended. - Large-eyed sea bream from Hokkaido 1,500 yen -> Also known as "tokisake" or "tokishirazu". You should try it at least once for its volume and deliciousness.

It's been a while since I last visited. As always, the food was delicious. I find that I am more satisfied coming here than going to two sushi restaurants in Toyosu. The gentle flavors really bring out the taste of the fish. Here's what I had on this day: - Choshi-ji Kinmedzuke (Pickled Golden Eye Snapper from Choshi): The flavor of this dish is outstanding. I really love it. It's so good that it makes my cheeks relax with just one bite. - Special Sashimi Assortment (Fresh Bonito, Vinegared Bonito, Black Mutsu, Shark Sole, Small Pillar): The fresh and vinegared bonito have completely different flavors and textures. I like the smooth texture of the fresh bonito, but I found the vinegared bonito to be even more delicious. It was my first time trying vinegared bonito. The black mutsu and small pillar were compared with salt and soy sauce, and salt was the winner. The shark sole was also delicious with its fatty texture. - Simmered Red Mutsu from Tsushima (Blackthroat Seaperch, Red Pupil): The fat content is elegant and there is no heaviness. The tender meat is irresistible. This is definitely a must-try. - Grilled Tarako (Cod Roe): I tried it rare and medium. The rare one goes amazingly well with grated radish. As a standalone dish, I prefer the medium one for its fragrant and enjoyable texture.

Visited on January 28, 2021. - Sashimi assortment set meal for 2,000 yen - Extra large rice for 100 yen Located at Shijo-mae Station on the Yurikamome Line. Visited "Takahashi" in the Toyosu Market Block 6 "Fish Wholesale Market". The chic gray walls and black sign exude a sense of luxury. Usually fully booked by reservation. The interior has counter seats lined up. This time, I ordered the "Sashimi assortment set meal" with "extra large rice". I went aiming for sushi, but everywhere was a bit pricey. Although it is a seafood set meal, I think the price is relatively cheap. The "Koshihikari rice from Toyama Prefecture" was firm and well-cooked, and it went well with the complimentary "Iwanori". The "miso soup" had large clams in it. The "cold tofu" had myoga in it. The crispy texture was irresistible. The "sashimi" was served in a Nagasaki Hasami-yaki dish. This time it was "bachi maguro, natural flounder, scallop". All of them were thickly sliced and extremely fresh. Smooth, with a good amount of fat.
