Just as its name suggests, Maguro To Shari (which translates as ‘tuna and rice’) serves only tuna sashimi rice bowls. It’s run by sushi restaurant Hakkoku in Ginza, which is owned by chef Hiroyuki Sato. Sushi fiends will know Sato's name from his time at the now-closed Michelin-starred Sushi Tokami.
The sashimi here comes directly from the fishermen, each hand-picked by professionals with the help of Sumiyoshi Fishery Group. This means you’re guaranteed to get fresh, premium quality fish at a reasonable cost. The only drawback is that the restaurant is tiny, with just six counter seats.
There are different sizes of tuna bowls, ranging from small to extra large, each filled with premium koshiibuki rice seasoned with the restaurant’s original red vinegar, cucumber and generous slices of lean and fatty maguro tuna.
The smallest bowl goes for ¥1,600 while the largest and most sumptuous option on the menu with 15 slices of lean to beautifully marbled tuna tops out at ¥5,000. You can also upgrade your meal with additional toppings (from ¥120) like egg yolk, natto, avocado, kimchi, salmon roe and more.
