My son came to Tokyo and wanted to have sushi for dinner, so we went to Tsukiji. Since it was my first time at Tsukiji, I didn't know any specific restaurants, but we chose Hamashige Sushi because it seemed to have a nice atmosphere. There were two friendly sushi chefs making sushi, and the sushi rice was small so even women could eat a variety. Some sushi restaurants don't serve seared sushi, but the seared sushi here was delicious. In addition to sushi, there were other dishes, and the horse mackerel namero was excellent. The prices seemed reasonable for Tsukiji. It was a place that I would want to visit with my family again.

On Sundays, there are few open shops in Tsukiji, so this shop that opens from 5pm is a rare find. Both the chef and the mother were friendly, and the atmosphere of the shop was nice. The sashimi and sushi were fresh and delicious. The miso soup broth was also excellent.

On the crowded Tsukiji outer market during the weekend, there is a sushi restaurant located on the 2nd floor. Due to its location, we were able to enter without waiting in line. The interior of the restaurant has a traditional Edo-style counter where three chefs skillfully prepare sushi. I ordered a rice bowl for lunch, and while I felt the portion of fish was a bit small, the taste was delicious. Overall, I found this hidden gem to be a great place to dine, considering the atmosphere and level of crowds.

I had a special assorted sushi set for 4180 yen, which included fatty tuna, flounder, medium fatty tuna, ark shell, eel, herring roe, snow crab, botan shrimp, sea urchin, salmon roe, and egg. I wish there was also a blue fish included. There was a poster of Marutake on the wall, so I wonder if the egg was from Terry's shop...? The meal came with a delightful salad and miso soup. Everything was delicious, and I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

"Hama Shou Sushi" is a hidden gem located near the Tsukiji Outer Market. Despite the crowds in Tsukiji, this sushi restaurant seems to be a hidden spot. It's quite hard to find, but it's located on the first street from Shindaihashi Street, which is the busiest street. The restaurant is on the second floor, so look for the staircase above the sign with the restaurant's name. During the pandemic, they seemed to have been closed, but I visited for the first time now. As you climb the stairs, you'll immediately see a terrace-like outdoor seating area that looks like a garden. It's surprising to find such a terrace-like space above the Tsukiji Outer Market. Inside the restaurant, it has a fisherman's town vibe, and a substantial thick counter is placed in the center. There are two table seats, two raised tatami seats, each for about 6 people, so it seems to be a cozy space that can accommodate a large group. Two chefs are behind the counter, swiftly preparing and serving the sushi. The menu is displayed all over the wall, making it hard to choose! Nigiri sushi ranges from 165 yen, and seafood bowls start from 1540 yen, with a wide variety of options. Here are some of the set menu options: - Service Nigiri 1,540 yen - Yuzen Nigiri 2,035 yen - Seasonal Nigiri 2,640 yen - Special Nigiri 3,300 yen - Chef's Choice Nigiri 3,960 yen I ordered the "Chef's Choice Nigiri," which included: - Fatty Tuna - Yellowtail - Herring Roe with Kombu - Snow Crab - Lean Tuna - Ark Shell - Sea Urchin Gunkan - Salmon Roe Gunkan - Botan Shrimp - Conger Eel - Tamago (Egg) Soup - Duration: 30 minutes - Total: 3,960 yen (including tax) - Visited on a Saturday before 2 pm, with about 3 groups of customers already seated at the counter. Waited for about 12 minutes, listening to the banter between the chef and other customers. The sushi was served on a large plate, with the standout being the incredibly long conger eel. The vinegared rice was neatly placed in the center, while the long eel stretched out, offering a firm texture with a sweet taste that was delightful. Each piece of sushi had a delicious combination of flavors, with the vinegared rice adding a nice touch. In addition to sushi, there were various sashimi and grilled dishes like pufferfish sashimi, grilled mackerel, grilled amberjack collar, and grilled tuna cheek, so be sure to check out the handwritten menu. It was a Saturday lunchtime, and the surrounding sushi restaurants had long lines, but we were able to get a table at "Hama Shou Sushi" easily, making it a hidden gem. The place has a charming atmosphere reminiscent of the attic of Tsukiji, making it an interesting spot to explore.

For lunch on this day, I went to Tsukiji Outer Market. It was a lively area with inviting calls from "Marukita" and lanterns hanging on the first floor. I visited "Hamamatsu Sushi" on the second floor for the first time. They offered different types of nigiri such as "Omakase (3960 yen)", "Special (3300 yen)", "Seasonal (2620 yen)", "Yuzen (2035 yen)", and "Service (1540 yen)". The prices include tax and are relatively reasonable for a sushi restaurant in Tsukiji Outer Market. This time, I ordered the "Seasonal Nigiri". The interior of the restaurant was very warm, almost too hot. I ordered tea as my drink. The disposable wet towels were placed on the table. The rice was tightly packed and the toppings were decent. The way the anago (conger eel) was served individually was not to my liking, but some people may enjoy it. In addition to nigiri, they also had a variety of rice bowl dishes. (Visited on 3/27)

I visited a sushi restaurant in a corner of Tsukiji Outer Market during the daytime. The restaurant is located about two streets south of Shin-ohashi Street. There were some people trying to attract customers on that street, but I finally found the restaurant after being approached by one of their staff. I was led upstairs to a counter seat. I ordered the Seasonal Nigiri for 2,400 yen (excluding tax). The sushi was served all at once, not one by one. The toppings included medium fatty tuna, amberjack, lean tuna, salmon roe, horse mackerel, squid, scallop, shrimp, eel, and tamagoyaki (rolled omelette). The tamagoyaki was said to be from Marubu. Overall, the sushi was decent, but the rice was a bit too sticky. It would be better if it was a bit lighter. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the long-established sushi restaurant, Tsukiji Hamasho Sushi, located in Tsukiji. It is situated on the second floor of an old building, and has a charming atmosphere. I was seated at the counter, where I ordered the Goshiki Don for 1760 yen. They offered a complimentary drink, but since I was working, I opted for tea instead. I also ordered a surf clam as an addition to my meal. The Goshiki Don included tuna, salmon, conger eel, sea bream, and minced negitoro, and had a consistent and traditional taste. If I were to own a sushi restaurant, I would consider updating the rice and serving dishes, as well as refreshing the overall atmosphere. Despite its traditional charm, I believe that by maintaining its authenticity while making improvements to the establishment and system, the restaurant could become more popular. It had been a while since I last visited Tsukiji Outer Market, and I noticed an increase in foreign visitors, indicating a return of liveliness to the area.

Sushi restaurant located on the second floor of a building along a small alley outside Tsukiji Market. Despite its inconspicuous location, it is crowded like the shops along the street. In addition to sushi and seafood bowls, they also offer a variety of seafood dishes, making it convenient for daytime drinking. During the year-end shopping at the outer market of Tsukiji, I decided to have a meal at this sushi restaurant. The place was busy as usual, with the staff quickly finding me a seat on the second floor. I started with a beer and some appetizers: a plate of assorted sashimi and grilled scallops. The sashimi was fresh and well-prepared, while the grilled scallops were delicious with just the right amount of soy sauce. I also tried some nigiri sushi, including amberjack, thread-sail filefish, and sea urchin, all of which were flavorful and expertly made. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively, and the service was attentive. Overall, it was a great experience enjoying the vibrant market atmosphere while savoring delicious sushi.

I was able to enjoy a delicious fish course at a restaurant with a Showa era atmosphere.

When I want to eat sushi at Tsukiji, I come here. It's a bit hard to find, so it's quiet and relaxing. The sushi is delicious and reasonably priced. I will definitely go back again.

The service was quick when ordering drinks, and the timing of the food coming out was just right, so I liked the staff's service, but the most important thing, the taste of the food, was not great. The sushi was thin and the broth lacked flavor, so it was disappointing.

I climbed up a narrow staircase to find a hidden gem of a restaurant on the 2nd floor in Tsukiji. Excited for my first sushi experience there, the atmosphere was great and the number of customers was just right. I ordered a salmon ikura bowl and an aburi tekka bowl for two. After a 10-minute wait, the dishes arrived. I like to eat my sushi with plenty of wasabi, but the first bite was just... okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. I also noticed that the fish slices were quite thin for the amount of rice given. Disappointed, I finished my meal and went to pay, only to realize that I was charged about 500 yen more than what was listed on the menu. I should have shown the menu to confirm the price. Feeling a bit down, I left and promised myself to choose restaurants more carefully next time.

I had a seafood bowl and fresh Pacific saury sashimi. The Pacific saury was surprisingly delicious. However, it was not very cheap, maybe because it's in the city center.

The sushi was surprisingly not delicious at all. It didn't feel like Tsukiji at all. The fish was very small and even conveyor belt sushi would have been better. It was not tasty and hard to eat. I left most of it uneaten. Also, the restaurant and restroom were dirty. I didn't want to touch anything. Especially during this pandemic, I wish they would keep it clean. It's strange that they have a rating of 3.27 stars.

In addition to the nigiri, the sashimi and small dishes were all delicious without any disappointments. The monkfish liver was rich and tasty!

I wandered around Tsukiji Market and was invited by a street vendor to go up to the second floor. There was a terrace seating area and next to it was the restaurant interior. It was a typical sushi restaurant inside. I ordered the lunch special, Kaisen Nigiri. First, I had a salad with tofu and vegetables topped with a ponzu-like dressing, which was delicious. The sushi that came out was small in size, which I liked. I'm not a fan of large rice balls with thick toppings. Perhaps the lunch portion is smaller. Details unknown. I enjoyed the sushi with miso soup that had shrimp heads in it. It was just right with 10 pieces of sushi rolls, including uni and ikura, for 1350 yen plus tax. It felt like a good deal. I would like to visit again.

Everywhere is crowded. This place was a hidden gem. They had a reasonably priced lunch. I am fully satisfied. Thank you for the meal.
