Tsukiji : alcoholic party with seafood at Takeno

Well-known shop, but hard to visit for tourists

Recently Tsukiji on Saturdays is packed with so much people and I have no idea where to go. Almost all shops have long line !
The best choice to solve the problem is following specialist of enjoying Tsukiji ! So, we asked him to take us to shop that he recommends 🙂

He chose this shop that is named Takeno.

最近の土曜の築地は混みすぎててどこに行けばいいかわからないので、こういうときは築地のスペシャリストについていくのが一番（`･ω･´）

Takeno is one of the most difficult shop for strangers in Tsukiji ! Takeno stands along such a narrow alley !

I went to there once at lunchtime. It was lunchtime that time, too. But two people drunk alcoholic drinks and ordered many foods 😛

Mukantei (無冠帝), a kind of Japanese sake

ランチタイムですが酒盛りが始まりましたよ(ﾉ∀`)

So someone who can drink alcoholic drinks drunk.
I had a dental treatment after the feast, so I didn’t drink it. The bottle was beautiful ….

Two person drunk it up 🙂

At first otoshi was served. Fava bean (空豆)

まずはお通し（`･ω･´）

The reason why Takeno is difficult for tourists is it.
Menu have too much food. And prices of foods containing seafood is current price. (But it is not expensive like sushi shop around Ginza :P)

たけのといえばこのダーッと並んだ短冊のメニュー(；´Д｀)

(And staffs are unfriendly. I heard they (are family) have quarrel so frequently.
But their foods are delicious !

Sea urchin (生うに)

生うにもあまくてオイシイ！

Whelk and greenlin (ツブ貝とあいなめ)

ツブ貝は見ての通りピカピカで食感が良かった！

The welk is, as you see, fresh and its texture was good !

Boiled butterbur and bamboo shoot (ふきと新筍の煮つけ)

たけのことフキの春コンビ♪

Now is middle of Spring !

Simmered spear squid wth soy sauce (やりいか煮)

体の中に足をつめて煮てます。

It contained its foot inside and simmered.
Its section is like this.

断面はこんな感じ。

Takeno’s deep fried oysters is too popular among people who love Tsukiji because of its appearance.
Like straw bag !

Deep fried oysters (カキフライ)

まだあった。たわらのようなまんまるカキフライ(*´д｀*)

One deep fried oysters had two oysters that day.
I thought deep fried oysters season was already finished, but fortunately they still served. But it’ll be end soon.

Sardine (いわし)

しっかり脂のってておいしかった～このいわし！

So fatty sardines contrary to our expectations ! Though it was not sardines’ best season !

And we ordered some tempura.
Sillago and big-eyed flathead tempura (キスとめごちの天ぷら)

サクサクの天ぷらおいしー。

Those tempura was so crisp 🙂

*Deried sardine (めざし)

I like this bitterness. It is often my breakfast 😛

We ordered it on the way. But I don’t remember. Maybe dried cod ?

途中で頼んだこちら。なんだかよくわかりません。たらの干物かな？

Fried spinach and eggs (ほうれん草と玉子の炒め物)

It was good. This is made from something in the ordinary supermarket. So, I want to try cooking it.

Those were really tasty. I searched my blog and I found I post about Takeno last time three years ago. And same day ! Oh my !
Truthfully speaking, I want to go there more often than now…
