Tsukiji market is the biggest fish market in Japan. The inside market is for whole seller but the outside market is for everyone to enjoy. In the outside market, there are some recommendable rice bowl places. (seafood rice bowl) They all have their own charms, so let me tell you their selling points.

Uogashisenryo’s specialty is sea urchin, but they are well known for seafood cuisine general. They are very popular amongst the outside market; a famous food reporter Hikomaro gave a five star review. Their top seller, “Authentic seafood marinated eel bowl” comes with more than 12 kinds of seafood that includes sea urchin. If you put extra sea urchin, the price goes up to 2800 yen, but it’s worth the money. You can enjoy it as Japanese traditional way “tea risotto way”. That is why you can enjoy different taste in one bowl dish. This is their selling point!
