There are many items on the menu that look good on Instagram, and the "Banken Samon" made with cream cheese is so real that you feel sorry for eating it. On the other hand, you can also eat authentic Edomae sushi, and the price is very reasonable starting from 99 yen.

A historical sushi restaurant of the original 'Tsukami Zushi' made from freshly cooked warm rice and supreme seafood bought in the adjoining market. I love this sushi like malting in my mouth! ◎Their best-seller 'Uwamaze' has five sushi (1050 yen for lunch), and you can order more by five. Every seafood they use is excellent! There're people waiting in a line.

Soft and creamy Oyako-don (soft stewed egg and chicken on rice) is very delicious. The meringue is fizzy in my mouth, and the stock is also wonderful. It's only 890 yen with salad, side dish, and Akadashi miso soup. I like this lunch very much.

Choose two rice balls. I grilled salmon. Cod roe is made in Hokkaido Grilled cod roe Salmon is made in Hokkaido Toki salmon (Tokiraz) Since it is landed from spring to early summer, it is nutritious and has a lot of fat on its belly. First of all, Namul. Sesame oil is fragrant and slightly gentle seasoning. The side dishes are also delicious!

Yakiniku yakiniku of 0 degree aged ice temperature aged meat! I found out that there is a ramen with salt tongue instead of char siu, and this is what I was looking for! There aren't many char siu noodles, but salted tan noodles are unlikely! The tongue is delicious as it is. It's delicious to eat with green onions, and it's also good to sprinkle with shichimi or rock salt. The soup is like meat sui and the sweetness of beef.

At the counter seats, the sight of the chef making sushi makes you feel excited. I had a meat sushi lunch. The sweetness of beef tendon meat that has been cooked for a long time spreads throughout your mouth. Alfonsino with a fragrant aroma. Fatty sirloin that melts in your mouth. Ostrich sushi, perfect for game lovers.
