I tried a famous seafood bowl for the first time recently. My partner had been in the mood for a seafood bowl since the night before, so I suggested a few options, but ultimately this restaurant was chosen. We left promptly at 11:30, expecting to be the first customers, but there was already one person ahead of us. Since there were only two of us, we were seated at a table in the back (which was like a semi-private room). The center of the table was divided by an acrylic board, and there were vinyl sheets hanging from above the counter. The restaurant only had the chef at the counter, and a young girl was wandering around the kitchen, but no one came to take our order. After waiting for a while, we finally called out, and the mother of the girl came to take our order. Instead of a seafood bowl, we decided to try the "Kaiho Chirashi" for 1,800 yen from the lunch menu. The Kaiho Chirashi was visually impressive, with a fish head skewered on top. Inside the bento box, there were sections for the chirashi rice, fish collar, medium fatty tuna, white fish, large shrimp, salmon, octopus, sea urchin, salmon roe, and surprisingly horse sashimi. The quality of the shrimp was outstanding, almost resembling botan shrimp. The sea urchin had a slight fishy smell, but tasted delicious when eaten with the vinegared rice. The variety of sushi toppings was larger than expected. The medium fatty tuna seemed slightly semi-frozen, indicating a need for better temperature control. Lastly, the horse sashimi had garlic on top, so it's important to consider the order in which you eat it. The atmosphere in the dimly lit back room was lacking, as was the service, but the quality of the sushi was good, so overall satisfaction remained the same.

I had heard rumors about the amazing lunch special chirashi bowl at this restaurant, but I hadn't had a chance to go until recently when I visited for dinner. The restaurant is spacious with a mix of counter and table seating, as well as private rooms. We ordered a sashimi platter with five types of fish, including tuna, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, and whale. The tuna was particularly delicious. We also tried the homemade thick tofu, which was served hot and topped with bonito flakes and green onions. The tempura with seasonal vegetables and shrimp was tasty, although I wished there was a bit more volume. The salted raw sea squirt was a standout, and the sushi set we ordered was also very good. The overflowing sea urchin sushi was a must-try, and the fatty salmon sushi was a recommended item on the menu. Overall, it was a great experience at this casual sushi restaurant.

#Seafood Bowl #1000 yen Today is the second game of the Fukuoka 3-game series. The first game of the Levain Cup quarterfinals. Before that, I tried the limited 10 servings of seafood bowl with helmet-grilled fish that I had been curious about for a while. I arrived 5 minutes before the 11:30 opening. The curtain was already out, and when I entered, there were already 3 customers. After that, more customers came in, and everyone was there for the seafood bowl. By the time I was ready to order, it was already sold out. I asked the owner, and the helmet-grilled fish was salmon. It was a bit difficult to eat, but it had a nice fatty taste. I also had some raw egg, and the sashimi had various types without any fishy smell, which was also delicious. It seems like they start preparing before opening, so they may not be able to offer extra-large portions. But the miso soup also came with it, and I was full. However, I still prefer the Miko-chan bowl from Sanze Sushi. #Just my personal opinion lol #Olympic Sushi #Gotanda #Shinagawa-ku #Tokyo Lunch Association 2023 #Lunch #Lunch #Tokyo Lunch Association #Sashimi #Sashimi #Sashimi #sashimi

Sushi restaurant located on the 8th floor of a building near Gotanda Station. Visited around noon on a weekday. Although there was a sign at the entrance of the building, it was a bit hard to find, so there was only one customer. I ordered a plate of Isomaki sushi. As shown in the photo, it came with a hearty miso soup, and at 1300 yen, the cost performance was great. The quality of the fish was good, and the balance between the fish and rice was excellent. I definitely want to come back to eat again. Next time, I want to visit at night.

Wanryu Sushi is a popular sushi restaurant known for its fresh and reasonably priced sushi. I stopped by for a quick bite in the evening and everything was delicious and fresh. The medium fatty tuna, ikura gunkan, and original tamagoyaki were all superb. I had 9 pieces of nigiri sushi and a roll. I also ordered some mozuku seaweed, which was tasty as a snack. The pieces of sushi were large and the rice was just right. I will definitely go back again.

After finishing work, I realized that I may not be coming to Gotanda as often, so I decided to check my bucket list and found a sushi restaurant near the station that I had not visited yet! I arrived for lunch right after the opening at 11:30. Although there was a sign outside, the restaurant is on the 8th floor of a building, so it's easy to miss. As soon as I got off the elevator, I found the restaurant and entered. There were two customers already seated at the table inside, and the counter was still empty. The owner was busy preparing, but he noticed me and gestured for me to sit at the counter. The owner's wife came to take my order, and I decided to try the limited "seafood bowl" with only 10 servings available. The owner was preparing while taking orders. After about 10 minutes, the seafood bowl was handed to me over the counter, and I was surprised to see a large helmet on top of it. When I picked it up, it was quite heavy! I couldn't eat with the helmet on, so I transferred it to a plate, revealing more than 10 pieces of sashimi underneath!! It was an incredible amount... maybe a bit too much (^^) The meal included grilled fish (bonito, mackerel, salmon), recommended sashimi (bonito and horse mackerel), and other sashimi varieties. I started with the grilled fish and the helmet, and as I ate, I became full from the generous portions. The seafood bowl cost 1000 yen (tax included) and came with miso soup. The grilled fish helmet had little meat and was mostly for decoration. The mackerel and salmon were perfectly grilled and delicious. The sashimi had a good freshness and texture, and the rice and ginger were on the sweeter side. The miso soup, although slightly salty, was a good palate cleanser after the fish. Overall, the sashimi was fresh and tasty, and the changing contents of each bowl made it an enjoyable surprise. The quality and quantity for the price were excellent, but those who are not fans of fish eggs or certain parts of the fish may find it challenging. For them, I would recommend sticking to sushi. Personal Rating: +0.1

The desire to go to a sushi restaurant in town exploded one day. First, I tried calling Inose, which I had always wanted to go to, but couldn't get through. I decided to go there anyway and found out they were closed for private events. I gave up and decided to visit another restaurant that I had checked out. I had thought it was a street-level store, but was surprised to learn that it was on the 8th floor of a building. The spacious interior was full of customers, indicating that it was a popular place. I was seated at a table. I ordered homemade thick fried tofu, spicy seasoned squid with seven spice, avocado and crab healthy salad, fresh amberjack sashimi, grilled tuna fillet, overflowing sea urchin on rice, tofu hot pot, and dried gourd sushi rolls, with about 7 pieces of nigiri sushi of your choice. It felt more like a sushi izakaya than a traditional sushi restaurant, with a wide variety of side dishes on the menu. The thick fried tofu was delicious, as recommended! The other side dishes were also tasty. The sushi was luxurious with large cuts of fish. The drinks were cheap and overall it was a great restaurant experience!

Limited quantity here. The price is great and the food is delicious. Grilled fish is included, which is nice. The atmosphere is like a traditional sushi restaurant. There are also table seats available. Despite the small amount, there is also fatty tuna. The red clam strings were included. I left feeling full and happy. I want to visit this restaurant again.

We use Goro Sushi for our work meetings in Tokyo about twice a year. We don't eat much sushi during the meetings, but we always enjoy fresh and luxurious appetizers with drinks in a casual atmosphere. I would love to try their lunch or have dinner there sometime.

Had lunch at Gorin Sushi. I saw a post by @sanponii on Instagram and added it to my list of must-visit places. I ordered the limited 10 servings of "seafood bowl". I arrived 6 minutes before the 11:30 opening and was the first in line. The seafood bowl for 950 yen came with a bowl, with salmon collar at the back, slices in the front, and eggs placed vertically. There were various parts of tuna in it, and the lean tuna was deliciously tender! There was a small dish placed in advance for the collar, so I enjoyed it while it was still warm. It was so rich and delicious! The yellowtail was thick, and the horse mackerel and sardine were also delicious. Everything was delicious, and it was a very reasonable seafood bowl lunch. Thank you for the meal ☆

On this day, I made it in time for the limited lunchtime special "Seafood Bowl" at Olympic Sushi from 11:30 for 950 yen (tax included), and I enjoyed a very satisfying seafood bowl. Despite the current situation, the chef is working hard without raising prices, and the ingredients are fresh and plentiful. There were already about 8 people lined up on that day, so I was worried if I would make it in time for one of the 10 limited seafood bowls, but there was plenty of ingredients so it was okay. The yellowtail, tuna, and crab were delicious. The miso soup with sea bream was also tasty. Thank you very much. I would like to go again.

I went to this restaurant near Gotanda Station for lunch. It is located on the 8th floor of a building called Seibi Building, just northwest of Gotanda Station. The restaurant has a hidden gem vibe, with a variety of sushi dishes. I ordered the Kaiko nigiri lunch set for 1.5 people. The sushi pieces were thickly sliced and of good quality, especially the fatty tuna which came in two pieces. The price was quite reasonable for the quality of the sushi. However, the rice was a bit soft and the nigiri was loosely packed, which was a bit disappointing. If they can improve on that, the restaurant would receive even higher praise.

I visited around 11:50 on a regular day. The restaurant is located on the 8th floor of a building very close to Gotanda Station, with a sign at the entrance on the 1st floor. When I got off the elevator, there was a notice saying "Today's seafood bowl is sold out," so I couldn't get the limited 10 servings of seafood bowl that I wanted. However, since I was in the mood for fish, I decided to go in. I was seated at a table. The restaurant was about 60-70% full. I ordered the Sea Treasure Chirashi (1,800 yen) and a plate of Iso Nigiri (1,100 yen). After about 15 minutes, they were served with miso soup. The Sea Treasure Chirashi was indeed voluminous. It had a variety of thickly sliced tuna, sea bream, salmon, scallop, sea urchin, and raw shrimp. The grilled fish was also very delicious. And to my surprise, they even included a grilled fish head on a separate plate. The Iso Nigiri included tuna, squid, white fish, octopus, shrimp, flying fish roe, cucumber roll, and rolled omelette, which was decent but not outstanding. The toppings were large, but they were already slightly messy when served, making it difficult to eat as the rice kept falling into the soy sauce dish. Overall, the amount of fish was impressive, so I think it's a good value for the price. Thank you for the meal.

I had lunch and seafood bowl. It was amazing!!!! The taste was great, and the cost performance was also good. I was worried if the restaurant could survive because it was so good. It seems they start serving from 11:30, but I arrived about 10 minutes early and there was no one waiting. I think the seafood bowl was sold out around 12 o'clock. I recommend going early.

I visited "Gorinsushi" on the 8th floor of a building with Hanamaru Udon at the west exit of Gotanda Station. It is the highest sushi restaurant in Gotanda. The restaurant's name comes from Miyamoto Musashi's martial arts book "The Book of Five Rings," not the Olympics as I initially thought. The menu has a variety of options, but I ordered the seafood bowl. The portion was generous, with a lot of sashimi and a whole grilled fish served alongside. The atmosphere was cozy and the COVID-19 prevention measures were well in place. The seafood bowl was delicious and satisfying. It's recommended to arrive early as they might run out of dishes by noon. Overall, a great dining experience.

I visited the restaurant around noon on a weekday, but unfortunately the popular limited 10-serving seafood bowl was sold out. Instead, I opted for the 1400 yen lunch set, which included a soup and cucumber roll. The difference in quality compared to other restaurants was clear. The sushi, especially the fatty tuna, was incredibly delicious. I hope to come back next time for the seafood bowl.

The Olympic seafood bowl at Goryokaku Sushi in Gotanda is limited to 10 servings. Wow, I had heard rumors about it, but seeing it in person is amazing! There's a grilled fish head sticking out, fried fish jumping out, and the bowl is a mess. It's more like disassembling than eating. But the rice portion is not excessive, which is good for a seafood bowl with a lot of sashimi. And all of this for 950 yen. It's amazing, but if it wasn't limited, they would probably be losing money. By the way, I think it's better to give up on next year's Olympics at this rate...

I went to Gojyu Sushi, a well-known restaurant with fair pricing featured on TV information programs. They have both counter and table seating, with reduced seating for proper ventilation. I visited to satisfy my hunger with some snacks. The tuna was fresh, the sardines and flavors were delicious, and they served pickled ginger and scallions which were also tasty. The fish was fresh and the sushi was truly top-notch. I plan to visit again.

☆Gotanda Station☆ I visited this restaurant for the first time because they offer sushi and lunch options, including lunch sushi and several types of seafood bowls. I arrived around 1 pm, and the discounted seafood bowl was already sold out. I ordered the premium seafood bowl and waited for a while. When it arrived, I was impressed by the grilled salmon head and the generous amount of sashimi on the seafood bowl. No wonder it took some time to prepare. I was completely satisfied and full after the meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

I went to a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. Today, I had lunch with a talented employee from Vietnam to practice Japanese communication over lunch. We decided to go for sushi. I was interested in the overflowing sashimi donburi. It was a limited seafood bowl, with only 10 servings available. I went before lunchtime, but it was already sold out. I saw other customers eating it, and just looking at it made me feel full. The amount of sashimi on top was overwhelming. I'm not a big fan of overflowing bowls. The restaurant had various flags from different countries, and it seemed to have many foreign customers. I ordered nigiri sushi, but the rice wasn't great and was too soft. The only delicious one was the medium fatty tuna. The sushi shapes seemed like something that foreigners would like.

[Location] 4 minutes walk from Gotanda Station [Date & Wait Time] February 6, 2020 (Thursday) 12:45 No line [Food & Price] Kaihou Chirashi for 1800 yen [Impression] A sushi restaurant located in Nishi-Gotanda, Gotanda. Known for their super cheap seafood bowl limited to 10 servings for 950 yen. I knew it would be difficult to get, and as expected, it was sold out. With only 10 servings, I felt like it would be impossible to eat unless I went right when they opened. Since it was sold out, I reluctantly ordered the Kaio Chirashi for 1800 yen. It's hard to convey in photos, but it was a huge portion. It's called chirashi sushi, but it seemed like they focused more on the visual impact by piling on various toppings like giant fried fish and such. I questioned if this was really chirashi sushi, but the amount was impressive and the sashimi was fresh and delicious. If the sashimi is this good, it seems like it would be delicious to come for sushi at night. The miso soup was also tasty, and it was an interesting chirashi sushi experience. Next time, I'll aim to come at opening for the seafood bowl.
