Tsukiji, Tokyo is about 15 minutes walk from Ginza.
Tsukishima, famous for Monjayaki, is also a 15-minute walk away.
If you go in a straight line, Tsukishima is close to Tsukiji, but there is Sumida River, so
You can only get there from the Kachidoki or Tsukuda directions.
However, even on these hot and humid days, there is a ``izakaya'' that I would like to go to.
I don't want to mention the name because I really don't want to be crowded.
I've only come with close friends,
The last time I stopped by was with some old men I met at vocational school about 10 years ago.
At that time, I had just turned 30 and could eat both strong-flavored and greasy foods.
For the past few years, I have definitely preferred sashimi more than anything like that.
I was talking about this with the old men at the vocational training school,
I introduced this shop and said, ``It's got some really great things!''
At that time, I lived two stations away in Monzennakacho.
Before that, I lived in Kachidoki next to Tsukishima.
I've loved it ever since I found it while walking around that time.
When I passed by in the evening, it was very crowded and there was a long line.
When I went there for the first time, I ordered as much as I wanted without knowing anything.
``Can't you eat?'' asked the old man next door.
After 20 minutes of saying, ``I have plenty of time!'', he says he's taking out about half of the food.
Anyway, there's a lot of it and it's really cheap!
It goes without saying that sashimi is an absolute must.
However, it was already past 9pm when I got there, so most of the items were sold out.
I ordered the remaining medium fatty tuna, but it was still huge (lol)
By the way, the photo only shows half of it, so it's twice as big.
Other things I definitely want to try are the boiled beef offal and this salted fish.
Boiled offal has a strong but refreshing flavor typical of Tokyo.
The salted fish is homemade and the ingredients are huge (lol)
I think this alone will fill you up,
It has an immoral taste that is unique to salted fish.
The rice tastes like it's going to go really well.
I've gained weight recently, so I decided to have sake instead of rice...there's no point in that.
This store is always full, even in these times.
In the past, there were no SNS like there are now,
It was a hidden gem that only locals would go to,
Considering the volume, taste, and price, it should be one of the best in Tokyo.
I'm glad that the store I used to go to is thriving,
Even though I went there for the first time in a while, it was still delicious!
Is the way back to Kachidoki or Tsukuda?
I was thinking of taking a detour to the Eitaibashi area, but
Go straight back to the hotel.
You can see this night view anytime in the Tsukiji area, so it's worth paying a fee to see it.
I remember when I was in my 20s, looking at this night view and thinking, ``I'm going to make it big someday.''
By the way, the total cost for the evening meal and the night view was 2,000 yen.
Regardless of whether it is expensive or cheap,
The "Edo" that locals refer to is Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi, Aoyama, and Ginza.
No, no,
That era is no longer there.
I would like to introduce it little by little from now on.
