This is one of my favorite restaurants that I visited before starting my food blog! It's a famous seafood bowl restaurant in Asakusa!! The Gold Medal Donburi is known for its large portion and extremely fresh ingredients!! That caught my attention, so I decided to check it out ⭐️
Gold Medal Donburi ⭐️ 2020 yen
This exceeded my expectations haha. What stood out the most was the height rather than the price haha. It's about 20 centimeters tall!! I was impressed by how it didn't topple over haha. The ingredients were a bit blurry, but I think it included tuna tataki, otoro, chutoro, akami, flounder, sea bream, yellowtail, amberjack, shrimp, horse mackerel, scallop, salmon, octopus, ikura, tobiko, and tamago! I wasn't sure how to eat it properly and asked the staff for advice. They mentioned that many people prefer to eat the sashimi on a separate plate! So I got a separate plate and tried eating it like a sashimi set! Each piece of sashimi was fresh and made me happy.
The volume and price of this dish are amazing!! The fatty tuna melts in your mouth, the amberjack has a nice balance of fat, and the shiny fish were great too. The tuna tataki was different from other places, with a generous amount of octopus, scallop, and other sashimi pieces, making it a luxurious dish on its own! The tuna tataki alone was incredibly delicious. However, since it seemed never-ending, I asked how much was left, and it was over 1 kilogram in total! You can enjoy a generous amount of seafood with this amazing bowl!
⭐️ Drinks ⭐️ I ordered a highball, which was just okay haha. It's a bit pricey, but it goes well with sashimi!!
✨ Overall impression ✨ The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and clean! The seats are reasonably spaced apart. The staff are polite and willing to answer any questions! Although Asakusa is not a place I visit often, I would definitely want to come back to this restaurant! The taste, presentation, atmosphere, and staff are all top-notch in my opinion. It's a convenient place for any occasion, whether you're dining alone, on a date, with family, or friends! The Giant Chutoro eaten with a spoon is also famous, so next time, I want to try the chutoro and sushi!!
By the way, my companion couldn't finish their meal and ended up feeling stuffed after eating about half of it haha. Since I ate that, I wasn't hungry at night haha. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy delicious seafood in a hearty portion. If you love seafood, I urge you to visit this place!! I also plan to visit for a seafood refill during the summer vacation.
