We walked by this place by chance. We didn’t actually try any of their hot food and only bought some stuff from their market section. It has a huge seafood selection (mainly deep-fried). We’d love to come back to order from their restaurant menu in the future.

IMG_20170407_212832_254 — **Lobster** ($16 each; 3 for $45) *[It’s a generous amount for $16 and it was fresh. This doesn’t come with seasoning but it’s already salty due to sea water. We mainly bought it for the convenience factor.]*

IMG_20170407_212943_346 — **Crab cake** ($2.25) *[We can’t taste any crab in this, it was more like a potato croquette. However we still found it delicious]*

IMG_20170407_213043_383 — **Stuffed clams** ($2.25) *[It is on the salty side, but there is a generous amount of clams in this. Jeff found it so-so, but Lynn really liked it.]*

Tsukiji Fish Market

Overall taste: 8/10 | 2016 | 5 Chome-2-1 Tsukiji, Chuo, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan

If you visit Tokyo, you must go to Tsukiji Fish Market. We only went to the outside market of Tsukiji; it was really crowded even on a weekday. There were lots of small restaurants and stalls selling mouth-watering food (sushi, ramen, snacks, desserts). Definitely come on an empty stomach!

Note: This Tsukiji location will close and be moved to Toyosu sometime in 2017/2018.

For some of the food we got, we attached a picture of the stall next to it since we can’t read Japanese.

Tuna, ikura and uni don (900 yen) [The portion was smaller than we expected. We really loved the sushi rice and the freshness of their ingredients]

Sushi shaped candy [We didn’t try this but we thought they were incredibly cute!]

Giant tamago

Lineup for this stall!

Tamago (100 yen) [Look at the size of that tamago! This was on the sweet side but we liked that it was incredibly fluffy.]

**Matcha soft-serve** (300 to 400 yen) *[It was summer when we visited and this was perfect for a hot day! Good matcha flavour and not too sweet]*

img_20170218_132610_022 — **Grilled scallops topped with crab and uni, then torched** *[We don’t remember the price of this. This was pretty good, all the ingredients were fresh but the uni tasted a little fishy]*

20160521_103030 — **Grilled unagi** (600 yen) *[This tasted quite similar to regular frozen unagi]*

+++ = highly recommend | – – – = do not recommend

This was our to-go spot for $1 oysters (between 4-6pm), but they no longer have this deal. They have also modified their menu ever since we went. We don’t think we’ll come back to this restaurant since some of our favourite items are no longer available. We will indicate below which items are no longer in their current menu.
