01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Located in Kirigaoka, Kita Ward, Tokyo, Tsukijiya is a takeout sushi specialty shop offering an expansive selection that spans affordable rice bowls to nigiri sets. As centerpieces for lunch or dinner, the rice bowls immediately stand out with their varied toppings. The Maguro Zukushi Don, for instance, gathers lean red tuna, albacore, luscious medium-fatty tuna (chutoro), and minced fatty tuna with scallion (negitoro), letting diners savor the distinct flavors and textures of different cuts in one bowl. With other options such as the Negitoro Zuke Don featuring pleasantly marinated lean tuna, as well as the generously topped Tokumori Kaisendon, the menu makes it easy to choose according to the day's cravings or seafood preferences.
From Individual Nigiri Sets to Platters and Classic Rolls
Beyond rice bowls, the nigiri lineup is just as varied. Individual assortments like the Kikyo and Take feature cuts such as medium-fatty tuna, seared salmon, and salmon roe, while shared platters of Jo Nigiri and Tokujo Nigiri can be tailored to the size of the gathering. Familiar staples including thin rolls like tekka maki (tuna roll) and negitoro maki, pressed battera mackerel sushi, and classic sukeroku combinations of inari and maki rolls provide plenty of flexibility for any dining occasion.
Tsukijiya specializes exclusively in takeout with no dine-in facilities, remaining open until 20:00 in the evening on both weekdays and weekends. It serves as a dependable neighborhood choice for bringing home an easy, satisfying sushi meal.
