    Tokyo Chuou-ku Ginza 8-7-6
    This sushi restaurant in Ginza is famous for its traditional Edo-mae sushi that makes use of the taste and season of its ingredients. Ever since it was founded in 1935, it has been visited by many VIPs including those from the political world. Guests can choose between counter seats, hori-gotatsu recessed floor seats, table seats, and private rooms. In recent years it has also become popular with foreign tourists for the ability to enjoy a relaxed meal in a Japanese-style space known as “modern sukiya-zukuri.” It also has a complete take-out menu featuring futomaki (a thick roll of sushi) and bara-chirashi.

    Mediocre omakase experience at best. Unsanitary food preparation. The sushi chef used a single cloth to clean the knifes, boards, and plates of multiple diners. Very gross, though we didn’t want to...

    Tokyo Chuou-ku Nihombashi 2-9-9
    A garden eel restaurant located near Nihombashi Station. Here diners can enjoy wild garden eel gathered from seasonal hunting grounds. The shop serves its eel two delicious ways – stewed and broiled. If you want to enjoy particularly tender meat, go with the stewed; if you’re looking to savor the innate savory flavor, go with the broiled. The shop also has “ainose” options giving you the chance to enjoy both in a single meal. You can also order broth for pouring over your eel to eat it chazuke style.

    給仕される料理、スタッフの接客の質(料理の給仕のスピード、美味しい食べ方の説明、外国語での説明 等)、どれをとっても申し分のないくらいに質の高い、お勧めのアナゴ料理の和食レストランです。高層ビルが立ち並ぶ日本橋において、老舗の雰囲気の漂う外観であるため、敷居が高そうに思いますが、そのようなことは全くなく、気楽に利用できます。席数は少ないですがカウンター席もあるため、単身者でも気軽に利用できるところ...

    Tokyo Chuou-ku Nihombashimuromachi 2-3-1 Kolding Muromachi 21F
    Located inside the Coredo Muromachi 2 shopping mall, this highly popular sushi restaurant serves omakase courses made with fresh seafood brought in that day at reasonable prices. Conveniently located, Manten Sushi can also be rented out, making it a perfect place for parties, girls' nights out, and other events.

    3300円のおまかせランチを食べてみた。 この値段でこのクオリティなら星5つにしたいところだが、一点残念なところがある。 店内がとにかく狭い。特に入口近くの席はハズレの席で席から手を伸ばせば開閉可能な上ひっきりなしに来店する客と狭いので従業員が一度外に出て奥の厨房に出入りするのでその度に冷たい風をまともに受ける。ある意味換気が完璧なコロナ対応の席とも言える。 食事は全体的に小ぶりだが品数が多い...

    Tokyo Chuou-ku Tsukishima 3-16-9
    A seafood monjayaki savory fried batter restaurant located a four minute walk from exit number 10 of Tsukishima Station. People love the flavor of the dashi broth Moheji uses in its monjayaki, made with eight varieties of seafood. Particularly recommended are the mentaiko walleye pollack, mochi rice cake, and cheese monjayaki. All of the restaurant's seafood is brought in daily from Tsukiji Market, and Moheji also serves seafood teppanyaki. The seafood garlic rice is made by sauteing rice with fragrant garlic and flavorful seafood on the griddle embedded in your table; it goes great with a cup of sake.

    月島もんじゃの人気店です。ただ、駅から離れているからか、他の店に比べると少し空いていました。一人で行きましたが、さすがに多かったです。味はよくて、いい思い出になりました。

With the Tencho Omakase Sushi chef's course (includes 11 pieces of nigiri sushi and one sushi maki-roll); you can choose the last nigiri yourself. Sit at the counter and you can watch the skilled hands of a master sushi chef right in front of your eyes while listening to an explanation about the area each piece of sushi comes from.

    Busy, lively restaurant with top quality sashimi and good service. Good range of options and helpful staff.

    A monjayaki (a type of savory pancake similar to okonomiyaki) restaurant located in Tsukishima, an area filled with fiercely competitive monjayaki shops.

    The sister shop of Tendon Kaneko Hannosuke, renowned for its old-fashioned Edomae tendon (tempura over rice). Despite its location in Nihonbashi, an area filled with renowned tempura shops, lines still form at this restaurant dedicated to tempura and rice. Inside the compact confines, patrons can observe artisans at work up close and personal as they craft exquisite tempura. Diners can enjoy a variety of delicious tempura at reasonable prices, and the shop is well-loved for its high “cost performance.” The shop’s unusual egg tempura is particularly taste eaten over rice.

    An okonomiyaki and monjayaki savory pancake restaurant located in an area of Tsukishima, Chuo City popularly known as Monjayaki Street. The restaurant is a three minute walk from Tsukishima Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line.
