I was checking out a restaurant on Instagram. Once the material runs out, it will end. The store opens at 11:00. Around 8:30, a list is posted in front of the store for customers to sign in. I wasn't sure what time to sign in, so I researched reviews from people who visited in the past year on YouTube and other platforms. There are some enthusiasts who start lining up at 6:00, but if you aim for the first round at 11:00, it seems okay to arrive around 7:00. I visited on a Saturday at 7:00. There was a heavy rain forecast for that day, and the temperature was about 6 degrees lower than the previous day. When I arrived, there were 6 people (4 groups) waiting in line. The lineup started to grow around 7:20. Initially, there were many middle-aged customers, but after 7:20, there were more young people in their 20s (especially female customers). While waiting, I read a book. It was difficult to read because I held it with one hand while holding an umbrella. My hands got cold, so I warmed them in my pocket from time to time. The staff raised the shutters and entered the store around 8:00. Sign-in started around 8:10. I was the 8th person to sign in. According to my research, there are 20 counter seats, but due to spacing, only 12-13 seats are used at a time. This time, there were 4 people in my family, so we were just in time for the first round. Even after signing in, there was still a long line. It seems even more challenging on sunny days. I went home for a while. I returned to the store front around 10:50 and met up with my family. The staff came out to check if everyone was present. If someone's name was called but they couldn't be confirmed, they were quickly skipped and the next customer was attended to. It's a shame to miss out on the first round... The store operates on a sign-in system, but some people in line seemed unaware of it. The lineup was that enticing. We entered the store immediately. Sushi was already prepared on the counter seats. They said, "If you have a favorite, please let us know." My family was excited. - All-you-can-eat sushi for one person at 4,000 yen. I ate the prepared sushi. Every piece was delicious! The rice was warm and just right. I ate as much of the sushi that I liked. - Bluefin tuna toro: Rich in fat! - Yellowfin tuna chutoro: Just the right amount of fat and delicious! - Lean tuna: Lighter compared to toro. - Marinated tuna: Rich flavor of lean tuna. - Fresh raw baby sardine: Fresh and tasty. - Sea urchin: Sweet and delicious. - Salmon roe: Slightly salty but delicious. - Tamago (egg): Light and just right. - Mackerel pressed sushi: Perfectly seasoned. - Horse mackerel: Refreshing and delicious. - Pacific saury: Fatty and delicious. - Halibut: Refreshing and delicious. - Gizzard shad: Strong acidity. - Sea bream: Rich in fat! - Conger eel: Fatty and delicious. - Salmon (fatty salmon): Deliciously fatty. - Negitoro roll: Plenty of negitoro! - Conger eel: Slightly dry but delicious. There were pre-made sushi available, and they would ask, "Anyone want ~?" Other sushi would come out in seconds. The service was incredibly fast! The battleship-style sushi had a variety of molds, and the rice was shaped using them. Certainly, it would be impossible to make them all by hand at that speed. Overall, there were more battleship-style sushi. But they were delicious! The sushi-style rice was slightly generous. The customer next to us ordered an extra-large negitoro roll. Everyone was surprised when it arrived! The customer managed to finish it, but if you want to try many different things, you might want to be careful. If you're curious, definitely try it out! I hadn't eaten sea urchin since the prices went up, but my family was so impressed that we ordered it multiple times. I also ate a lot of it. Personally, I thought the sea bream was delicious. It had a good amount of fat. I had never found sea bream tasty before, so I was very impressed. The conger eel was not on the menu, but when I ordered it, they brought it out. Also, miso soup and crab were not on the menu, but they were served. There may be various opinions, but being able to eat plenty of bluefin tuna toro, sea urchin, and salmon roe for 4,000 yen is very reasonable. My family left satisfied without any regrets. I will definitely come back when I want to eat a lot of sushi again. Thank you for the meal.

The Bara chirashi for 1,200 yen is a great deal, and adding 100 yen for a large serving is totally worth it. If you go to a shop in the outside market, it would probably cost over 2,000 yen. So, the cost performance is high! I wish I were a bit younger to try the all-you-can-eat option for 4,400 yen.

I visited a sushi restaurant with my colleagues after work for the first time in three months. It is located near St. Luke's International Hospital, just off Harumi Street, and even though it was past 11:30, we were able to sit at the counter. I had the daily special bara sushi set, limited to 15 servings per day. The sushi bowl was overflowing with tuna, sea urchin, octopus, salmon roe, and squid sashimi, and I was simply amazed and speechless. I definitely want to go back for drinks at this sushi restaurant next time.

I think I ate fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, lean tuna, amberjack, sea bream, mackerel, salmon roe, sea urchin, conger eel, inari sushi, herring, ark shell, ark shell liver, abalone, egg, scallop, surf clam, sardine, salmon belly, sweet shrimp, shrimp, whitebait, white fish, whelk, crab. I had two pieces of each type at first, but towards the end, I was full so I only had one piece at a time. I arrived before 3 o'clock and was able to get a seat. The rice was on the larger side, but the sushi was soft and fluffy. The rice in the battleship sushi seemed big. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch on a regular day! The bara chirashi here is amazing!!! It's a luxurious bara chirashi with uni, toro, ikura, and shellfish, and the price is surprisingly reasonable! There are also nigiri available, but the majority of customers who come for lunch order this popular bara chirashi. I like sitting at the counter and watching the sushi being made while eating. ✨

I visited around 12 o'clock on a regular day. I ordered the bara chirashi for 1,200 yen. It had a lot of tuna on top, almost overwhelming. You don't even have to worry about the balance with the rice. For this price, it seems quite cheap. I'm curious about the nigiri sushi too, but the bara chirashi must be a good deal. Thank you for the meal!

When I arrived at the shop at 7:30 am, there was already a line with about 20 people, although in reality there were around 30 people due to groups of 4 registering together. They started taking names for the waitlist around 8:15 am, earlier than the expected 8:30 am. I was finally called in around 12:20 pm. Inside, there were pre-made sushi sets on the table, and you could order your favorite toppings. The sushi was similar to all-you-can-eat sushi, but the rice was much larger. The rice was pre-shaped with a slight cut, from which you could take pieces to add toppings. Personally, I found the negitoro sushi to be the most delicious. If you can handle the large and firm rice, it might be worth trying this place at least once for a unique experience.

I went to write my name around 10 am and was seated around 2:30 pm. It's a very popular restaurant. The chefs are really generous, to the point where you might think, "Is it okay to encourage customers to eat this much? They might go into the red!" The food is truly delicious, and the chefs are so wonderful that it feels really nice to eat there. Especially when you ask for lots of Negitoro, they bring out a mountain of it. The struggle between wanting to try different types of sushi and wanting to happily eat a mountain of Negitoro is real, so please experience that dilemma for yourself! Laugh out loud.

This restaurant is a popular sushi restaurant in Tsukiji where they offer "all-you-can-eat sushi" every Saturday. The lunch specials during weekdays are also very affordable! The restaurant's specialty is the "Bara Chirashi" bowl, which is a popular menu item for lunch. Even the regular size is quite filling, but if you really want to indulge in a seafood bowl, you can opt for the "extra-large" size for just an additional 100 yen. I always leave this place fully satisfied and it has become my favorite spot! It's great to be able to enjoy a sushi lunch without worrying about the cost. The restaurant is a bit away from the Tsukiji market, so it's a hidden gem in terms of both location and price. It's always bustling with nearby office workers during lunchtime. The friendly head chef adds to the great experience! I will definitely be back to dine here again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

This time, I went to a sushi restaurant with an all-you-can-eat plan. It was a place where they made sushi right in front of you after you ordered. I had a bit of trouble because I couldn't see the menu as I was seated in a corner, and sometimes they would bring out sushi that I didn't order, which was a bit surprising (but they would take it back if I said something). The head chef had some quirks, but the sushi itself was delicious and I left feeling very satisfied.

I visited a sushi restaurant that offers all-you-can-eat sushi from the Edomae style for 4,500 yen, with a time limit of 75 minutes (4,000 yen for women). I arrived at 7:00 am on a Saturday and had to wait in line to sign up for a seat. By 8:00 am, there were already over 30 people waiting. After signing up, I explored Tsukiji market to pass the time until my entry time. I was able to enter for the second round at around 12:30 pm. The restaurant had only counter seats for about 20 people. They started with uni and ikura, then the all-you-can-eat began. I ordered various high-quality items like uni, crab, and toro. The toro melted in my mouth with its excellent fatty texture. The sweet tamago was a perfect palate cleanser. You could also order a giant negitoro from the secret menu. It was a luxurious and indulgent experience that I highly recommend to big eaters. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived at the restaurant at 13:50 on Saturday, which was the 31st person in line. I had to wait for quite a while. It's a good idea to wait in front of the store and let the staff know you are waiting, so you can enter without being skipped. The sushi rice is quite large, so I quickly got full. Especially the amount of rice in the battleship rolls is a lot. If you don't specify, they automatically serve 2 pieces instead of 1. The sea urchin and fatty sardine were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I usually order the bargain bara chirashi, but today I went for 1.5 servings of nigiri for a little luxury ✨ The fish slices are big and look at this shiny maguro, scallops, ikura, and salmon jewels beautifully displayed on the wooden geta! The restaurant is lovely, located just across the street from the market. Take your time savoring the flavors, as my Tsukiji lunch experience nears its end. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom around Tsukiji, such a nostalgic feeling. ☆ Tabelog rating: 3.41 Opening hours: 11:00-14:00 Lunch buffet available on Saturdays and holidays Closed on Sundays Payment: Cash, cards accepted #TsukijiLunch #TsukijiGourmet #TsukijiSushi #SushiInstagram #NigiriSushi #EdomaeSushi #GinzaMaguroya #TunaLover #sushi #tsukiji #ginza

I highly recommend trying out their all-you-can-eat option on Saturdays and holidays for a unique sushi dining experience.

On weekends, there was always a long line for the all-you-can-eat sushi, but when I passed by the restaurant, it looked like there were empty seats. The customers before me seemed to be tourists ordering nigiri sushi, while regulars were ordering rice bowls. I was torn but ended up ordering the nigiri. I had 1.5 servings for 1,600 yen. The rice was a bit too big and soft for my liking, but considering the cost, it's worth it. If you're looking for a good deal, the 90-minute all-you-can-eat option for 4,000 yen is cheap and great for those who want to eat a lot of sushi. I recommend it if there's no line.

I lined up at 7:30, wrote my name at 8:30, and finally got inside the restaurant around 15:30! There were already about 30 people in line at 7:30. The all-you-can-eat sushi included high-quality toppings like fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, sea urchin, and salmon roe, so I was very satisfied! The sushi made by the head chef was hand-pressed, while the others were made by molding the rice. The molded sushi had quite a large portion of rice, so I was full! Miso soup was also included in the all-you-can-eat option. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant nearby that I hadn't been to before and had the "1.5 servings of nigiri" lunch for ¥1,600. The entrance was narrow, but the long interior was surprisingly spacious. Now, onto the important part - the nigiri consisted of 9 pieces of sushi plus tamagoyaki and a roll, which was a decent amount. The toppings were mostly traditional, but they were delicious.

Behind Tsukiji Honganji Temple. Next to Bistromasa and across from Ima Tsu. In an area where both shops are located, there is Maguroya, specializing in cost performance. You can enjoy reasonably priced seafood bowls here. Bara Chirashi for ¥1200, extra large for ¥100 more. The toppings are plentiful and well-prepared, with no gaps! Even the bottom with pickled ginger and shiso leaves is filled with toppings, which is great! The sea urchin is shining~!! Having plenty of sea urchin at this price point is a big plus! It comes with plenty of vinegared rice. And even with salmon roe. Eating it all at once is so refreshing! Tuna, ark shell, salmon roe, Japanese littleneck clam, salmon, sea bream, sea urchin ◡̈⃝♡!! Although I finished the extra large portion, I must admit there was a lot of rice. Maybe it was a bit greedy to think that adding ¥100 would increase the toppings. The default option is the way to go here. Miso soup is also included, making it great value for money. This quality at this price is a great deal. Opens at 11:00 AM until sold out. When I arrived around 11:05, there were already groups of young people and older women eating. Perhaps they opened a bit early? By the time I left, nearby office workers and solo diners were starting to arrive. Restaurant Instagram ☞ @ginzamaguroya My Instagram ☞ @sanpocorner Love sushi! #sushilovergram

There is a temperature difference, and my physical condition is not great. To blow away the mental fatigue, let's go see a delightful scattered rose! The barachirashi at the Ginza Maguroya restaurant includes sea urchin and salmon roe for only 1100 yen. Is this place a palace from a fairytale? (laughs) Recharged and ready to go!

I lined up at 7:30 in the morning and started writing down my order around 8:15. I was finally seated around 2:30 in the afternoon. The restaurant can accommodate about 14 people, so it's quite small, but that seems to be normal for a sushi counter in Tokyo. The portions are generous and satisfying, although you may not be able to order a lot at once. The highlights were the fatty tuna, sea urchin, yellowtail, and fresh baby scallops. The salmon roe and squid were just okay. There are items not listed on the menu that you can still order, and the owner or chef may ask if you'd like to try something specific. Overall, I was very satisfied and would love to go back again.

(2023.01.20) In the neighborhood of Tsukiji Nana-chome, which has been spared from the ravages of war, there are old buildings, including iconic architecture, that still stand. Unlike the bustling Tsukiji Outer Market, this area exudes a more serene atmosphere. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the construction of condominiums and other modern buildings. While it may be inevitable due to aging, if possible, I would like to see this unique atmosphere preserved. In a corner of this town stands "Ginzamaguroya," where on Saturdays and holidays, they offer an "all-you-can-eat" sushi experience featuring fatty tuna, sea urchin, salmon roe, and more until the ingredients run out. Lines form before opening time, but when I visited on a weekday at lunchtime right after opening, there were about 20 empty seats at the counter with no other customers in sight. The cypress counter, though showing some age, was beautifully polished, and the chairs were neatly arranged, indicating a readiness to welcome guests. While tempted by the reasonably priced "special selection nigiri," this time I opted for the more affordable "barachirashi." When one thinks of barachirashi, they might imagine a bowl with various diced toppings arranged on top of vinegar rice for a colorful presentation. However, at "Maguroya," the dish was generously layered with tuna, topped with salmon roe and sea urchin. In addition to yellowtail and octopus, there were various cuts of tuna, including akami, chutoro, and otoro, creating a luxurious dish. The high-quality tuna had a delicate and moist texture, allowing me to savor each bite and leaving me thoroughly satisfied.
