Because I was craving a large serving of sashimi, I visited Edo fuji (江戸富士) in Ochanomizu. It’s a sushi restaurant that also serves hearty sashimi bowls, like Mt. Fuji, during weekday lunchtime.
There’s a lunch menu outside.
Kaisen-don (海鮮どん) — 1600 yen
Kaisen-don with salmon roe (生いくらのせ海鮮どん) — 1900 yen
Kaisen-don with sea urchin (うにのせ海鮮どん) — 2000 yen
Bara-kaisen (バラ海鮮) — 1500 yen
Bara-kaisen with salmon roe (生いくらのせバラ海鮮) — 1800 yen
Bara-kaisen with sea urchin (うにのせバラ海鮮) — 1900 yen
Kaisen-don is a sashimi bowl, and Bara-kaisen is a type of chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi). Miso soup with fish broth (魚汁) is available for an additional 250 yen.
The restaurant has counter seats and tables, about 20 seats in total. During lunchtime, you may have to share a table.
Note: Even though the restaurant opens at 11:30 a.m., when I arrived around that time, there was a sign that read, “We are open from 11:45 today.” In reality, they opened around noon.
I ordered the Kaisen-don with sea urchin. Since I took the last seat just after opening, it took about 40 minutes for my bowl to be served. When it arrived, I was surprised by its towering presentation. The raw seafood was stacked like a mountain, and I couldn’t even count all the varieties. It included shrimp, boiled oyster, yellowtail, kanpachi (greater amberjack), tuna, salmon, scallop, raw baby sardines, squid, herring roe on kelp (komochi-konbu), bonito, kasugo (young red sea bream)… and, of course, plenty of sea urchin. I wanted to take a photo in horizon, but the man in front of me was too close. It truly was a seafood mountain.
At first, I couldn’t even reach the rice. After eating some of the sashimi, I managed to move things around and uncover the rice beneath. The seafood was all fresh and delicious, but there was so much of it that I couldn’t keep up!
By the end of the meal, I felt completely full, but there was still about two-thirds of the sashimi left. It was a seafood overload ! When I finished eating, I swore I wouldn’t want to see sashimi again for at least a week. This was the first time I had eaten this much sashimi in one sitting.
But… I ate sashimi again the next day! :p
