Your breakfast is ready !
I’m always posting about my breakfast at Tsukiji, but you know there’re so many seasonal foods included.
You might think, “What can I eat now at Tsukiji ?”
So, I’ll show you 10 foods that you can order now from regular menus and seasonal menus 🙂
1. Sushidai (寿司大)
Category / Sushi
Open / 5:00-14:00
You may know, Sushidai is the most popular eatery in Tsukiji. Yes, they have the longest line every day.
If you want to enter the shop just after the opening time, you have to get to there at 0 a.m.
And if you get to there after the opening time, you have to wait over three hours 🙁
But still, it’s well worth waiting. And I recommend you order Omakase set.
Omakase set have 11 sushi, miso soup and one sushi can be chosen from the menus.
Mostly the set have kuruma prawn, tuna, conger eel and sea urchin.
Omakase set (おまかせセット, 4000 yen)

2. Yonehana (米花)
Category / Teishoku
Open / 6:30 – around 12:00
Kaisendon (Assorted sashimi bowl, 海鮮丼) 2500 yen
Their sashimi bowl have tuna, shrimp, abalone and another seasonal seafood like salmon roe, firefly squid, scallop and so on. I recommend their sashimi bowl best if you want to eat sashimi bowl in the market. They sometimes close before 11 a.m because they run out of ingredients. So you’d better go there earlier.

3. Takahashi (高はし)

Open / 8:00 – 13:00
Grilled sweetfish with salt (鮎の塩焼き) 1500 yen
Sweetfish is seasonal fish that can be eaten Spring and summer. Yes, now is the best season for eat it 🙂 Only Takahashi serve grilled sweetfish with salt at Tsukiji.

Sea eel, scallop and kuruma prawn fry (ハモ, 帆立, 車海老) 1800 yen
Sea eel (called Hamo in Japanese) is seasonal food that can be eaten during warm season. Yachiyo serve sea eel until end of September.
They have just sea eel fry set, but their kuruma prawn and scallop is tasty, so I recommend you order this set 🙂

6. Toritou (鳥藤)

Half-boiled beaten egg on it. Not only shio oyakodon but also they have about 8 species of oyakodon.

Cold duck meat Nanban soba (冷やし鴨南蛮そば, 1350 yen)
It’s lukewarm because it have fried duck meat and green onion. It’s good for me in the air-conditioned room.

8. Odayasu (小田保)
Category / Teishoku
Open / 4:00 – 13:00
Ebi-don (deep fried shrimp bowl and beaten egg, エビ丼) 1200 yen
If you hate raw egg, you need to say “Tamago Katame (卵硬め)” when you order it.

9. Yajima (やじ満)
Category / Chinese foods
Open / 4:30 – 13:00
Asari clam ramen (あさりラーメン) 1200 yen
In winter, they serve oyster ramen, but now they serve it instead of oyster. The ramen have about six large asari clams. The soup have salted flavor and the butter add it more rich flavor.

10 Kitsuneya (きつねや)
Category / Meat
Open / 7:00 – 13:30
Horumon-don (Simmered giblet bowl, ホルモン丼) 800 yen
Horumon-don can be eaten all year around. But… This horumon-don’s smell make us bad because of muggy air under the brazing sun.
So I recommend you eat it before muggy summer.
If you want to eat simmered giblet separately, you have to order rice or beer.
