This shop used to be called Tsukiji Takawaka Bekkan, but it seems to have moved nearby and changed its name. The interior, which is predominantly white, gives a brighter impression than before. They had a good value lunch sushi set for 1,200 yen tax included, but I decided to try the seasonal sushi set for 3,500 yen tax included, which was written in front of the shop. I also added a mini chawanmushi for 450 yen tax included. The set included 10 pieces of sushi, a roll, egg, miso soup, horse mackerel, lean tuna, white squid (salted), seared blackthroat seaperch, live scallop, medium fatty tuna, white shrimp (forgot to take a photo), raw baby sardines, sea urchin, conger eel, roll (fatty tuna and seared bonito), and egg. The seared blackthroat seaperch was delicious with its rich flavor. The chawanmushi seemed to be premade with little ingredients, which was disappointing (but maybe it's understandable for a lunch set). Something felt different from before, it's hard to put into words... The overall atmosphere, including the service, felt distant and I couldn't relax. There weren't many other customers, but it was difficult to talk to the sushi chef. I used to like the previous cozy atmosphere. Perhaps the change in management has led to a shift in the shop's direction. Thank you for the meal.
