The Uni is plentiful and the sweetness and richness spread throughout the mouth. It is a very satisfying breakfast. The Uni Don set comes with plenty of Uni and no sushi rice. Additionally, there is a small amount of Hokkaido Uni included, about 3-4 pieces, but when eaten together, it is very satisfying.

While watching a TV special on Hokkaido, I couldn't resist the craving for sea urchin, so I headed to Sushikuni, located outside the former Tsukiji Market. I had a sea urchin and salmon roe rice bowl. Sea urchin is a dish that you can never have enough of! The restaurant continues to receive high ratings. About half of the customers were foreign tourists.

I visited for Sunday lunch. It's a popular place, so I went aiming for the opening time, but still had to wait for about 20 minutes. Foreign visitors were taking photos of their rice bowls and didn't start eating right away, so the turnover might be slow. But that's the same everywhere, so it can't be helped. I had the seafood rice bowl at the counter, and I think the ingredients were top-notch, fresh and delicious.

I had lunch at the Tsukiji Outer Market, and visited the popular "Sushikoku" restaurant. The restaurant specializes in seafood bowls for lunch, and sushi for dinner. I arrived at the restaurant around 9 am, and there was no line yet. I decided to wait in front of the restaurant, and was provided with a chair by a male staff member. It was mentioned that on some days, people start lining up as early as 8:30 am. At 9:05 am, two women from Taiwan joined the line. A female staff member handed out menus at 9:10 am, and I ordered the Uni, Ikura, and Chutoro bowl. The restaurant opened at 10 am, and I was seated at a designated table. The food was served promptly, and the staff recommended trying the Uni with salt first. The Chutoro and Ikura were also delicious. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the sushi rice was well-prepared. The portion size was satisfying, and I recommend arriving between 10 am and 12 pm to avoid long waits. The staff were friendly and provided great service. Payment is cash only. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. (Visit rating: 3.56)

Today's lunch was the original overflowing sea urchin bowl at Tsukiji "Sushikoku" for 6,500 yen. The restaurant was full, so you need to line up over an hour in advance to get in for the first round. Despite being called the "original overflowing sea urchin bowl," it didn't really overflow as much as expected. I think they should consider changing the name to "Original Sea Urchin Small Bowl." It may be a bit pricey, but the deliciousness definitely justifies it, as the person next to me said, "When it comes to sea urchin bowls in Tsukiji, Sushikoku is the only choice."

Seafood bowl for ¥3300. It includes medium fatty tuna, red tuna, grunt, salmon, red shrimp, and more. Each piece is thick, soft, and melts in your mouth at room temperature - irresistible! Completely free of any fishy smell and delicious. The rice is vinegared.

I was planning to go to Hokkaido, but the flight was full so I went to Tokyo instead. I wanted to eat tuna and sea urchin, so I decided to go to Sushikoku in Tsukiji. The sea urchin was delicious, and I realized that I didn't need to go all the way to Hokkaido for it. The other dishes were also very tasty!

- Original Sea Urchin Bowl: 6,500 yen - Sea Urchin, Salmon Roe, and Medium Fatty Tuna Bowl: 4,900 yen - Additional slice of Medium Fatty Tuna: 750 yen *Prices include tax. On a holiday afternoon, I visited Tsukiji. I had been craving Sushikoku's original overflowing sea urchin bowl so much that I finally made it there. I woke up early and was willing to wait in line just to go there. This place is known for their overflowing sea urchin bowl. There are many seafood bowls out there, but when I saw it on Instagram, I knew the sea urchin looked delicious just by its appearance. I was determined to try it! I arrived at the location on Sunday at 10:00. The line was moderate. Unfortunately, I was at the front of the line for the second round at 10:40. However, they gave me a ticket and I was free to do whatever I wanted until 10:40, so it wasn't a problem at all! I sat down and in about 4-5 minutes, the bowl was served. The price was 6,500 yen, which is quite high, but I have no regrets because it was truly delicious. Look at this thick layer of sea urchin. It was incredibly fresh, with no fishy smell at all! It was extremely sweet! I had never eaten a sea urchin bowl with so much sea urchin before! I also added a slice of medium fatty tuna, which was extremely fatty and delicious. The salmon roe was also very tasty. I don't know where they got these amazing sea urchins from, but each one had a different thickness. I am convinced they were raised in a relaxed and comfortable environment. I will definitely come back here. I was so satisfied with the quality and quantity of the sea urchin. This place is highly recommended for sea urchin lovers who want to eat their fill of sea urchin! Treat yourself as a reward for your hard work. Sea urchin lovers, you must visit this place!

I wanted to eat delicious sea urchin bowl, so I went to the restaurant! Tsukiji has turned into a different place...surprising. Before going to the restaurant, I wandered around Tsukiji, so many people. I thought it's a place to avoid on weekends and holidays. It might be better to go on weekdays. But I couldn't decide between sea urchin bowl and other seafood bowls, but in the end, I chose the sea urchin bowl. This time, the sea urchin was from Hokkaido, called Murasaki Uni!! The rice was seasoned with vinegar!! And my friend had sea urchin, salmon roe, and fatty tuna. Next time, I want to try other bowls too. I also want to eat salmon roe again, so I think I'll go back soon.

It's really delicious. The taste of the sea in Japan. This is my third time coming to this restaurant, and I am always amazed by the deliciousness. This time I had a seafood bowl. Each ingredient is so good that even now as I write this review, I can't stop thinking about the taste. I've learned from my third visit that for women, it might be better to ask for a little less sushi rice (the regular size has quite a bit of rice). I recommend this restaurant to my parents and friends, everyone loves it. I went on a Sunday and since it was close to closing time for lunch, there was no need to wait in line, so it might be a hidden gem? I definitely want to go back when I come to Tokyo again.

This time I visited "Sushikuni"! I ordered the natural bluefin tuna bowl for 3500 yen + additional sea urchin for 1200 yen, totaling 4700 yen. My parents came to visit from my hometown and wanted to go to Tsukiji, so I brought them here to eat something delicious. The seafood was very fresh as expected in Tsukiji! The bluefin tuna was not too fatty and I couldn't stop eating it! The additional sea urchin was incredibly rich and easy to eat without any strong taste. My parents were also very satisfied! Thank you for the meal!

Visited Tsukiji Market for a gourmet food plan. Arrived before 10:30 am and received a ticket for 11:20 am. Even on weekdays, the popularity is evident with the ticket distribution. Upon arrival at the designated time, seats were already prepared and we were smoothly guided to our table. Enjoyed a medium fatty tuna and salmon roe rice bowl with a beer. Every piece of fish was fresh, with the sweetness of the sea urchin being particularly outstanding. Thank you for the meal!

Sushikuni, located in the Tsukiji Outer Market, opened in November 2009. It has a rating of 3.56 on Tabelog and 4.3 on Google Maps (as of May 10, 2023). It is known for its original overflowing sea urchin bowl and is often referred to as the number one seafood bowl in Tsukiji. When it first opened, sea urchin was not as readily available in Tokyo, and it was not a common delicacy. Sushikuni is known for more than just sea urchin, and this time we had a seafood bowl with sea urchin and next time we plan to try the original overflowing sea urchin bowl. 3. Directions, appearance, and business hours of Tsukiji Sushikuni Address: 4-14-15 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0045 4 minutes walk from Toei Subway Oedo Line E18 "Tsukiji Market" Station A1 Exit 5 minutes walk from Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line H10 "Tsukiji" Station Exit 1 Tsukiji Sushikuni is located down the third alley from the main street when coming from Tsukiji Station. The exterior of Tsukiji Sushikuni is small and charming with a green sign and tiled roof. We visited on a Monday after Golden Week at around 2 pm, and there was no line at that time. Tsukiji itself was not as crowded as expected, with fewer tourists after Golden Week. Business hours (from Tabelog): Monday to Saturday 10:00-14:30 / 17:00-20:30 Sunday and holidays 10:00-15:00 (until ingredients run out) Closed every Wednesday Payment is cash only. 4. Menu and atmosphere of Tsukiji Sushikuni The menu at Tsukiji Sushikuni includes the original overflowing salmon roe bowl (4,200 yen) and the original overflowing sea urchin bowl (6,500 yen). The seafood bowl is priced at 3,800 yen, which may seem slightly higher, but it is standard for Tsukiji. The interior of Tsukiji Sushikuni has a similar feel, with a photo menu displayed at the storefront. We were particularly interested in the "toro, suki-mi, uni, and ikura bowl," which was on discount and made with natural bluefin tuna. We ordered this dish. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy, with green plates and tea cups. There were also foreign customers, and the staff were friendly and provided good service. 5. The toro, suki-mi, uni, and ikura bowl we had at Tsukiji Sushikuni Wow. Toro, suki-mi, uni, and ikura bowl @ Sushikuni Tsukiji. The bowl consisted of bluefin tuna, chutoro, akami, suki-mi, ikura, and uni topped with shiso leaves. The balance of flavors was excellent, with each ingredient being soft and fresh. The bluefin tuna was tender without any sinew, and the fatty part was not overpowering. The sushi rice vinegar was just right. The bluefin tuna was delicious without any complaints. The ikura was also bursting with flavor, providing a delightful pop in the mouth. However, when it came to the uni, it was not as impressive as expected. It had a slightly bitter taste, which was surprising.

In conclusion, this restaurant is geared towards tourists, especially those who are not familiar with Japanese food. I ordered the original overflowing sea urchin bowl and grilled clams. They weren't terribly bad, but they weren't particularly delicious either. Despite that, they were expensive. Even though they claim to not use MSG, this sea urchin is not the real deal. If you're going all the way to Tsukiji, it's better to buy saltwater sea urchin and make your own sea urchin bowl. The grilled clams were average and not worth ordering at this restaurant. The staff's attitude is not directly bad, but their loud communication with each other makes it hard to focus on the taste. (Even if you could focus, it might not make a difference.) Also, I wish they would at least explain where the sea urchin is from.

On Sundays, the store opens at 10:00, so I arrived at 9:45 to find a line of 30 people already waiting! They usually distribute numbered tickets to manage the line on weekdays and Saturdays, but neighboring shops are closed on Sundays, so we just waited in line. While waiting, staff came to take our orders, and we were seated by 10:30 with our food arriving shortly after. The sea urchin was sparkling and delicious, especially the Hokkaido Bafun sea urchin that day. The food was delicious, and the service from the head chef and staff was excellent.

[Shop Location] About a 5-minute walk from Exit A1 of Tsukiji Market Station on the Toei Oedo Line. [Visit Date] Around 9:40 on a holiday (Sunday). [Crowdedness] Waited for about 1 hour with around 40 people ahead of us. [Ordered Items] - Uni, Ikura, Chuutoro Don (¥4,900) - Uni, Ikura Don (¥5,600) [Impressions] As mentioned, the prices are on the higher side with tourist prices. It would be nice if it was around ¥3,000. Also, the long wait in line was a bit of a downside. However, the taste was exceptional, with rich, melt-in-your-mouth uni and ikura, as well as the concentrated umami of the chuutoro. It was very delicious! Thank you for the meal today.

I had the Uni, Ikura, and Chutoro bowl. I went slightly outside of lunch hours on a weekday, but there were many foreign tourists and we had to wait for a few groups. As everyone is writing in their reviews, the sea urchin was very delicious! Next time, my companion and I are thinking of trying the Uni bowl. (*^^*)
