Tajima

Quality seafood at a reasonable price is hard to come by, making Tajima’s lunch offerings so hard to beat. Located just outside Nakano-Sakaue Station, this serene sushi restaurant offers three seafood donburi rice bowls for ¥1,000 each: a kaisendon topped with fresh seafood, a zeitakudon topped with mixed minced seafood (tuna, octopus, salmon roe, whitebait, etc), and a bakudandon with the aforementioned minced seafood, natto (fermented soybeans) and a raw egg. Prefer sushi? You can also get a seven-piece nigiri set with maki rolls and tamagoyaki (egg roll) for just ¥1,000. All the lunch dishes come with miso soup plus a side dish.
