Tsukiji Tama Sushi (築地玉壽司) is a sushi restaurant chain in Japan with a long history dating back to 1924. The restaurant is best known for its high-quality yet reasonably priced sushi, offering a variety of fresh seafood sourced directly from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Outer Market (formerly the famous Tsukiji Fish Market). Since its Harumidori location (晴海通り店) is right across the street from our hotel, it made perfect sense that we grab an early lunch there before heading off to the airport.
The main dining area is located on the second floor of the building.
Sushi counter with an elderly and a kid, thanks but no thanks!
In Japan, it was always a pleasure to have the convenience of an English menu, and even better when it included a nice photo of each item, in this case every sushi and roll came with its own picture.
Crab meat with crab roe sauce – The crab roe sauce wasn't as dominating as I anticipated.
Unago (1,000 yen) – Mom's favorite with a homemade sweet soy and according to her, not bad.
Sushi platter – Jelloman wanted this all for herself and she thought a few of these including the uni and toro were pretty decent.
This one is mainly for little nugget.
Fatty Tuna (600 yen) – was pretty good although I won't mind it to be more thick cut.
Prawn (800 yen) – little one's favorite and it's probably the best sushi we had this morning.
Scallop (400 yen) – Pretty nice although I didn't think the additional minty flavors did much to enhance the sweetness of the scallop.
Abalone (800 yen) – Very very hard. I wanted to use the word "crunchy" but let's just say that it's more than just crunchy. And I thought it was pretty bland.
We intentionally didn't fill up our tank leaving sufficient room for more food in a few hours. Stay tuned.
