About this place
At Tsukiji Chikurin, part of the pleasure is choosing how to enjoy your fish. A set meal pairing marinated grilled tuna with chunks of tuna sashimi brings grilled and raw preparations together. Diners have praised the grilled tuna’s rich flavour and how well it goes with rice, as well as the generous portion of tuna sashimi. The menu also includes a set meal with grilled tuna cheek meat and spring onion, and another pairing grilled fish with tuna sashimi. If the marinated tuna appeals but salmon or hokke (Atka mackerel) sounds tempting too, a grilled-fish set is another option. One diner who ordered grilled salmon with negitoro recalled the salmon’s nicely judged saltiness and the quality of the rice.
For a meal that combines fish and fried food, consider fried oysters with negitoro or a fried horse mackerel set with tuna sashimi. One diner said the large, plump oysters needed no accompaniment; another commented on the contrast between the crisp coating and the moist oyster inside. With negitoro on the side, the set meal offers a fish dish alongside the fried food. There are also sashimi sets and rice bowls, including marinated tuna and negitoro with whitebait. The range of choices is described as suitable for dining alone, whether you want a substantial set meal at lunch or prefer tuna sashimi and small plates with a drink in the evening.
This Japanese restaurant is in Higashisuna, Koto City, and opens for both lunch and dinner. It is closed on Tuesdays. The drinks list includes draft beer, highballs and tea-based shochu drinks. Choose a fish dish, add something fried or negitoro, or enjoy small plates with a drink—the menu offers different ways to shape the meal.
