I got off from an overnight flight this morning. And to be honest, I am so tired because I'm a terrible flyer I hardly got any sleep. However, determined not to waste the day, and also because my med reg *cough cough my boss* is also in Tokyo, I decided I would just forgo my sleep and do a meet up. I mean after all.... It's not always that people are in the same place at the same time hey?
So we decided to meet up in Tsukiji Market.
I've done a couple of posts recommending multiple places of food interests - Where to eat in Tsukiji
And so I decided instead of going back to eat at the same few restaurants, I should try out new ones! After many weeks ( note, I have been planning for this trip since Aug 2017) of instagram and web sniffing, I managed to dig out this little gem.
Sashimi Bar Kashigashira, this is a popular restaurant that has appeared on the media multiple times and they are famed for their reasonable price and astounding quality of food.
This is what they are the most famous for.
Two tiered chirashi bowl - eaten in 2 ways. the first -- traditional way with shoyu, and the second a barachirashi like style with prawn and vinegar jelly
So I separated the 2 tiers. The first tier: super fresh prawn, uni, ikura and a variety of fishes
second tier: ikura, egg, scallops, prawns, vinegar jelly and some chopped up fish
OIISHIIII DESU NE!
Med reg Khee being very satisfied with his food
3000yen for such a generous portion + miso soup. Aiyo how to find?! What I really like about this place is that I think not many tourists knows about it yet? So its pretty local. They open at 11am,we reached at 10.40am and THANKFULLY, SECOND IN QUEUE!
wtf, ya Singaporeans what, very kiasu. Need to make sure we are in the queue early so that we can get out food early hahaha
Its quite a small place with only a max seating of 28 ( I counted). According to the media and various Japanese website, this restaurant usually results in a long queue during lunch hours. Hence my advice to you is.. get in early! (:
Another special off the menu tip I have for you if you were wanting to eat something more budget... Its their 'Maguro-butsu-don" 600yen for a very generous serving of maguro + shrimp.
I definitely recommend this restaurant, have not tried any of their dishes apart from this 3000yen special and I have seriously been thinking about it the whole day. Definitely going to go back again for more !
