Maguro Mart

What a treasure Maguro Mart is!

The 8 Course Luxurious set menu is highly recommended. Course 1 was the seaonal seafood with tuna dashi. I thought this was a soup but it came with Nigiri pieces. Tuna was fresh and rice was well seasoned.

Course 2 was the tuna "yukhoe". This was seasoned raw tuna with an egg yolk on top. Mix it all in to enjoy the creamy textures.

Course 3 was the Maguro Mart assortment. This was an assortment of different cuts of tuna. My personal favorites were the leaner cuts where some others may prefer the fattier pieces. All the sashimi slices were high quality.

Course 4 was the simmered tuna. This was more delicious than it looked. This was tuna fin cooked and simmered. It was so flavorful with again leaner parts and fattier/collegan bits. I couldn't get enough.

Course 5 was the uni-sho. I just realized as I am typing this review, they forgot about this dish because we added the uni and tuna pieces on top of our set menu. This was exactly what I was looking for with chunks of raw minced tuna and heaping amounts of uni with rice and wrapped with roasted seaweed.

Course 6 was the rare tuna tempura. Thumbs up to deliciously fried, but light batter tempura. The corn, zucchini and unagi were my favorites. I didn't care for the tuna because I don't love the taste of cooked tuna this way.

Course 7 nakaochi. This is the tuna bone that you scrape and place into your rice. Wrap everything up with seaweed and you won't be disappointed. Everything worked well and the seasoned rice added to it.

Course 8 is sort of related to be eaten with the nakaochi

I would absolutely visit this spot again and again. The set meal provided variety, the price was only 3980 yen (each person must order a drink as well on top) and the staff are amazing!
