Tsukiji Itadori Bekkan — Restaurant in Tokyo

Unveiling Tsukiji's Seafood Symphony In the heart of Tsukiji Outer Market, where tourists roam with curious taste buds, we stumbled upon a culinary gem - "Tsukiji Itadori Bekkan." Known for its seafood prowess, this little joint served up a seafood bowl that promised a gastronomic adventure. Post-pandemic, the prices at Tsukiji seemed to have ascended like a sushi chef's precision knife, but when it comes to an "OMG satisfying" seafood bowl, can you really put a price on bliss?

The Pricey Pleasure of 4200 Yen Let's talk yen, shall we? A whopping 4200 yen for a bowl might sound like a sushi-slap to the wallet, but hey, this is Tsukiji, and we're here for the full throttle of flavors. The most expensive item on the menu, this bowl was a seafood symphony featuring an ensemble cast of:

Fatty Bluefin Tuna Medium Fatty Bluefin Tuna Bluefin Tuna Head-on Red Shrimp Scallops Salmon Simmered Conger Eel Salmon Roe Sea Urchin Crab Claw Chopped Tuna Tuna Tango and Prawn Parade The variety of tuna sashimi pirouetted on our palates, each piece a testament to freshness and yumminess. The Negitoro, minced raw tuna, was a flavor-packed dance in our mouths, leaving us with an encore craving. The prawn, delicately sweet and yummy, marched into our hearts with its succulence.

Scallops and Sea Urchin Serenade But oh, the stars of the show were the raw scallops and sea urchin. The uni, fabulously sweet and delicious, delivered a silky, flavorful performance with no foul seafood symphony was complete without the headliner, and this scallop took center stage – soft, silky, and overflowing with sweetness, it was the ocean's love song in our mouths.

ATTENTION ALL TOURISTS

Do not be fooled by the 5 star reviews, the staff of this restaurant is racist to all non Japanese speaking people

If I could rate the service a 0, I would. The staff were completely hostile to us right at the beginning. The moment we arrive to the restaurant, the staff told us to go to another restaurant nearby basically asking us to "screw off".

We politely decline the offer and told them that we wanted to eat at their restaurant so we lined up and waited to be seated. Not even 5 minutes in, a staff member told us that we could walk around the area because the wait was 45 minutes. We of course did not walk around but instead stand further back so that we could feel the cold breeze.

As we were waiting, we saw two other customers arriving and asking for a table. Uppon seeing this, we assumed like any other ordinary person that we are still first in queue as, the staff told us that we could walk around the area. Unfortunately, this was not the case as one of the staff member saw us standing further back, walked up to us and told us that we must be in the line (keep in mine, the other staff member said we could walk around and still be in the line). The same staff member then proceeds to tell us that our spot in line has been taken by the two customers that came before us.

Rightfully, we were pissed beyond measure. While we were still in the vicinity of the restaurant, we could see the same staff members laughing and giggling at us. I believe that this was a complete act of racism and a disgrace to the Japanese kind culture.

DO NOT EAT...

Had this spot saved for a year since my last visit to Tokyo. Was waiting in line to try the uni spot in the same alleyway but saw groups of locals waiting for this restaurant.

Had high hopes but unfortunately was very disappointed. The line wasn’t too long on a Tuesday morning, maybe waited 20 minutes. The ordering process is quick and each seat is a counter view of the chefs preparing your meal. I ordered the aburi don and saw a chef torch various pieces of sushi. This is my favorite type of nigiri and sushi and noticed that it was torched for a lot longer than usual. The pieces are obviously fresh but the pieces were over torched. One piece of scallop was cut so thinly it became 4 pieces of nigiri and torched too thoroughly. Maybe lack of consistency however my biggest issue is the lack of fresh grated wasabi. This place uses pure horseradish which is shocking considering the location.

Overall, it’s mediocre. They serve fresh fish, as do all the other stalls in the area. Not worth the wait unless you just want to sit when you eat. Walked out of the alleyway and saw some street stalls with specialty tuna pieces and wished I had tried their...
