This compact nine-seater restaurant is located on the outer rim of Tsukiji Market, facing Harumi-dori, so it’s the perfect place to go to dodge the market crowds. You’ll find that Tsukiji Koromo Sushi is more laid back than the fancier sushi restaurants – there might even be jazz playing softly in the background.
The shop offers more than ten types of kaisendon, ranging from ¥1,650 to ¥4,400, as well as assorted sushi platters. The best deals are served between 8.30am to 12noon, where the morning nigiri sets are priced from just ¥1,540.
As for the rice bowls, we love the uogashidon (fish market donburi; ¥2,310), which features the freshest seafood of the day. For those who like their raw fish seared on the outside, the aburi-don is a rice bowl topped with a tasty assortment of fatty tuna, salmon, white fish, shellfish and more.
Other bowls come with various combinations of seasonal fish, or even uni (sea urchin roe) and ikura (salmon caviar), so there’s something for all seafood lovers. The counter seats encircle the open kitchen, so you can watch your food being prepared freshly in front of you.
