Tsukiji Tamasushi - Sushi Lunch in Ikebukuro, Tokyo

 

Tsukiji Tamasushi (築地玉寿司) in Ikebukuro, Tokyo

         As I mentioned in my previous entries, my husband and I visited Japan in 2022 and stayed at Sunshine City Prince Hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.  We went to Zoff, eyeglass store, at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Alpa, to make his glasses. (By the way, if you are planning on visiting Japan, you should make new eyeglasses because it's easy and affordable to purchase those in Japan. You can check out my previous entry, How to Purchase Japanese Affordable Eyeglasses at Zoff.) After ordering two pairs of glasses there, we were told that it would take 30 minutes to receive new glasses. That's why we decided to have lunch nearby until eyeglasses were ready. We found this sushi restaurant, Tsukiji Tamasushi (築地玉寿司), located on the third floor of Alpa. As I mentioned in my previous entry, My Top 15 Must Eat Foods in Japan - My Favorite Japanese Foods, I always look forward to having authentic sushi in Japan.

      There were many sushi dishes we could choose from. Since it was lunch hour, we decided to order sushi from lunch special menu. When you order lunch menu, you can also choose soup (お椀) or Undon noodles (うどん).

Lunch Special Menu


10 Pieces of Nigiri and 6 Tuna Rolls with Udon Noodles
       My husband ordered this sushi set (10 pieces of nigiri sushi, 6 tuna rolls and udon noodles) for 1,518 yen, which was equivalent to $10.76 ($1 = 141 yen). 


Kaisen Sushi Bowl with Miso Soup

      I ordered this Tsukiji Don (築地丼), kaisen sushi bowl with miso soup for 1,628 yen, which was equivalent to $11.54. It was so fresh and so good! If I had this quality kaisen sushi bowl in the U.S., it would be over $55 with tax and tip. I felt like it's the 80% discount when you eat sushi during lunch time in Japan.


       We were really satisfied with our delicious sushi lunch that day, and we really miss authentic sushi in Japan already. When we visit Japan next time, we will definitely eat sushi again! By the way, I also recommend you to try sushi from Costco Japan. You can check out my previous entry, What Do They Sell at Costco in Japan?.
