● Sushi Sei

Sushi Sei’s main branch, well-known in Tokyo, is located right next to Tsukiji Market. Established over 110 years ago, it is committed to making the most traditional Edomae-style sushi. The ingredients are, of course, carefully selected from Tsukiji’s freshest catch. Under the skillful hands of the sushi chefs, they are combined with flavorful vinegar rice to create the perfect taste. In addition, various simmered or grilled fish and shellfish dishes, such as tai meshi (sea bream rice), are also very popular.

● Daiwa Sushi

Daiwa Sushi is the most famous sushi shop in Tsukiji’s inner market, where long lines form every day.
