During my time working in Tokyo, I was taken care of by Harumi for 3 years. With Tsukiji nearby, there are many restaurants with delicious and affordable fresh seafood. I arrived after 6pm and the place was almost full. It's a popular spot. I ordered a sashimi platter for 1.5 people and a half portion of meat tofu. After finishing three beers, the dishes were served. The presentation was perfect and the taste was amazing! The sashimi in this area never disappoints. The meat tofu arrived after I finished my fifth beer. Even though it was a half portion, it was like five times the usual size. But it was so delicious that I finished it all. Another delicious meal today. Thank you for the meal.

"Hide" has detailed directions and access information up on their blog at https://xn--qck4e3a318y34z.com/. "Hide" is an izakaya where you can enjoy seafood dishes located on the 2nd floor of the "Kachidoki Sansquare" directly connected to Kachidoki Station. I visited alone around 12:00 on a weekday. The spacious wooden interior is adorned with bottles of sake from all over Japan. The seating options include counter seats, tables, and tatami tables. During lunchtime, in addition to the classic sashimi set meal, dishes such as Wagyu beef bowl and Wagyu beef curry are also available. I ordered the "Wagyu Beef Bowl (1,000 yen)" from the menu. The sweet and savory sauce has thoroughly soaked into the ingredients, making it a delicious dish. The ingredients include tender beef with a good amount of marbling, crunchy onions, topped with green onions and a half-cooked egg. Additionally, the lunch set includes miso soup, hijiki seaweed, and pickles. The miso soup was hearty and satisfying with plenty of ingredients. The staff were friendly and engaging, allowing for a pleasant dining experience with enjoyable conversation. Although priced at 1,000 yen, it is slightly higher than chain restaurants, the quality of the beef and flavor make it a dish worth trying when you crave a beef bowl.

We made a reservation for about 7 people and visited the restaurant. We ordered dishes like mapo tofu, sashimi platter, and assorted fried foods. Each dish was very generous in portion size, so it would be impossible to finish alone. The cost performance is good, and if you don't drink much alcohol, it's around 3000 yen per person. Even for those who drink a lot, it's still reasonable.

Located above Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line, there is an izakaya in Kachidoki Sansquare that is famous for its meat and tofu dishes. Even when ordering half portions, the servings are quite generous, so it's best to eat with caution. They also have a wide variety of seafood, and on this day I tried the grilled squid, which was fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable and it's a great restaurant to visit.

A renowned restaurant located in a corner of the Kachidoki Building, which is home to many charming traditional izakayas. I forgot to take a photo, but the appetizer was a simmered dish in a small bowl that was incredibly flavorful. It really set the bar high. Then, a stunning sashimi platter with unbelievably thick slices arrived. The freshness was outstanding. The simmered dish was just the right size. We ended up drinking a lot of sake, about 20 cups between the three of us... Oh, I really forgot to take photos... I think this is a top-notch restaurant.

Specialty dish: Devil's Meat Tofu! It's delicious!

I like thick sashimi and mapo tofu!

This place is highly recommended for its very affordable and delicious seafood, especially the mentaiko and seafood platter. The beef platter is also popular among regular customers for its generous portion and rich flavor, with many bottles kept in stock.

Delicious, cheap. Full stomach.

Great. Want to go again.

Meat tofu

Added photos from the past. 【Nov 2009】My 6th visit this year. I used to come here 2-3 times a week, but this year I've been neglecting it due to lack of time. However, the taste and atmosphere remain unchanged. The clientele is mostly 4-5 people who seem to know how to enjoy themselves. This time, I went with 4 other guys and ended up spending around 22,000 yen due to drinking too much sake. But everyone was satisfied and we headed to a second location. 【Mar 2009】Located on the 2nd floor of Sansquare Building above Kachidoki Station. The area around Kachidoki Bridge (near Denny's) has been redeveloped, and most nearby shops have relocated to this building. The landlady runs the place with a strong presence. There are 16 sunken kotatsu-style seats, 24 table seats, and about 8 counter seats. It gets crowded around 8 pm, so it's best to arrive early. As it's in Tsukiji/Kachidoki, they have a good selection of fish, but the highlight here is the cost performance of their sashimi. It's best to order slightly less than the number of people in your group. Ordering a hot pot for everyone can be overwhelming. They also have a variety of dishes for when you get tired of raw food, like the "meat and tofu" dish which is a must-try for two people. The "potato salad" is a popular menu item that sells out quickly. The quality of their salted fish is high, with juicy "overnight dried gizzard shad" and large-sized saffron cod available. The "squid and long onion (sometimes with onion) soy sauce butter stir-fry" is also recommended. I usually go with a group of 4 or more, and we start by pre-ordering the sashimi platter and potato salad, then enjoy steamed edamame and saury while waiting. With a combination of sashimi, shochu, and sake, we eat and drink until we're full, spending around 5,000 yen per person. If you stick to shochu, it's around 3,000 yen per person. The cooking is done by the landlady, her son (?), and one other person, so it may take some time from ordering to serving. But they never serve pre-made dishes, so take your time and enjoy.

The photo showed a dish piled high with onions and meat, which turned out to be the famous meat tofu from "Hide" restaurant. It seems like they have been serving it to each table, and I was curious about it. "Hide" is known for being a fish market, so you can also enjoy various fresh sashimi at a reasonable price. It's a convenient place where you can also try out this kind of menu. We had a great time chatting with friends, and before we knew it, it was already the last train. Thanks for the delicious meal today.

On July 1, 2013, I visited Sansuke Square after a long time and decided to have a drink alone. I walked past a few other restaurants but ended up choosing this one because I could see the counter from outside. I sat at the counter and ordered a draft Black Label beer for 500 yen. Despite the slightly small glass, the beer was delicious, especially with the addition of "thank you for your hard work" from the staff. I snacked on some dried young sardines and seaweed vinegar while looking around the restaurant, which had 8 counter seats and 3 four-person tables. I ordered a taro salad for 400 yen and steamed chicken for 550 yen. The steamed chicken took a while, but it was tasty with the chilled chicken and ginger-scallion sauce. The taro salad was made fresh with mentaiko mixed in each time it was ordered. The variety of sake on display behind the counter and on the whiteboard was impressive, especially the selection from Fukushima. The prices ranged from 700 to 900 yen for a serving, and they offered half servings for half the price. Jazz music played in the background, and the TV was showing NHK with subtitles, making it a comfortable place for solo dining. Today, I decided to play it safe and ordered two more draft beers, totaling 2400 yen. I left feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

Working in Harumi. In the evening, the boss suggested we have dinner somewhere, so we went to this restaurant that the boss used to frequent. The place is located on the 2nd floor of a building above Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line. This area has many office buildings but lacks notable eateries. We arrived around 6 pm and found the place almost full. It's best to make a reservation if you have a larger group. We sat in the back tatami area, which had a traditional izakaya atmosphere. The menu was written on a whiteboard with recommended dishes. We let the boss and our client choose for us. The appetizer was a simmered dish with fish flakes, tender and not too salty, a good match for drinks. Next was a generous portion of potato salad, with a crisp mayo flavor and a nice balance of sweetness and texture. It was one of the best potato salads I've had. The sashimi platter was fresh and plentiful, with delicious cuts of fish. The bonito was particularly tasty with ginger and garlic. The scallop and prawn were also excellent. The meat and tofu stew was flavorful, with plenty of onions and tender beef. The sweet sauce soaked into the tofu, creating a delicious dish. It could easily be a meal on its own. The simmered offal was tender and savory, perfect for pairing with drinks. The area around Kachidoki is undergoing redevelopment, with few longstanding establishments. This izakaya stands out for its consistently delicious and high-quality dishes. The attentive service from the staff adds to the charm of the place. It's a great spot for tasty dishes and drinks.

Before 6 o'clock, there were 2-3 groups of customers. This time, I went with 6 colleagues from work, so we sat in a private room. After a while, I looked around the restaurant and it was almost full. It was very lively. Sitting in the private room, I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings and was able to relax and enjoy my drinks. We ordered beer at first, but it took a while to come out. It seems like you have to wait patiently at this restaurant. The sashimi platter arrived, and each piece was thick and delicious. There was even whale meat, which was rare, but I decided to pass on it. The meat tofu was also a specialty of the restaurant, and we were advised to order it as soon as we arrived. The portion was so big that it felt like it could be a beef bowl. For dessert, we had rice balls, which were a bit too big. We enjoyed them with miso soup and felt satisfied. I realized we had been eating and drinking for a long time. It was a great meal.

The recommended dish here is definitely the fish stew. The sashimi is fresh and reasonably priced, and everything you eat here is delicious. The stew, in a refreshing salt-based broth instead of miso, has a strong flavor of offal without any unpleasant smell - it's like, is this really a stew? And it comes out the fastest after ordering! The edamame and fava beans are boiled fresh upon ordering, so it takes some time but you get to enjoy them hot. The potato salad is generous in portion and tastes amazing. It might be a bit too much for two people... Bottles of sweet potato shochu start from 3150 yen. The portions are generally large, so ordering slightly less than you think you need is just right. If there are already customers, it may take some time for the food to come out after ordering, so going early is best.
