Tsukiji Sushi Sen Asakusa Kaminarimon

Restaurant Details

The original Tsukiji Sushi Sen is an institution of the old Tsukiji Inner Market — Tokyo’s most famous open-air market, which used to draw crowds looking to see Tokyo’s most famous wholesalers and chefs vie for the freshest, juiciest catch of the day on the slick auction floor.

It was in the former Inner Market that Tsukiji Sushi Sen made its name as a sushi restaurant that fit nicely between the lower-end kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi) that are so emblematic of Tokyo, and the high-end omakase sushi restaurants that populate the upscale districts of Ginza and Akasaka.

Located just 3 minutes from Asakusa Station in the northern part of Tokyo’s Taito Ward, the Asakusa Kaminarimon branch of this venerable restaurant might not enjoy the same proximity to the fish market as the original branch, but it can definitely still boast the same quality. Just like all the other branches of Tsukiji Sushi Sen across Tokyo, the seafood is shipped straight from Tsukiji Market, ensuring optimum freshness by the time it ends up on the cutting boards of Tsukiji Sushi Sen’s expert chefs.

A sushi restaurant is judged on the quality of its bluefin tuna, or hon-maguro, and Tsukiji Sushi Sen is no exception, offering it in several forms, from traditional nigiri to seafood bowls. Other standouts on the menu include the scallop (hotate), the conger eel (anago) and the steamed egg custard (chawanmushi) with crab, among many others.

And the best part? Tsukiji Sushi Sen’s Asakusa Kaminarimon branch is open late into the night, till the sun rises on the magnificent crimson sight of Senso-ji Temple. Opening its doors at 11 am and closing at 5 am, Tsukiji Sushi Sen is the perfect place to go for sushi at any time, whether it’s for an early dinner, to sate a late-night nigiri craving, or simply just to have sushi for breakfast (an extremely early one, though).
