I’m glad that they carry ingredients that you don’t often get a chance to eat in Tokyo.

The dish is named “Two-Story Raw Scallop”, which is topped with two scallops. That’s an interesting name.

A Pop with today’s recommended menu will be displayed on the rotating table, so be sure to take a look.

Sushi Restaurant Ginza Fukusuke Main Store

This is a sushi restaurant [Sushidokoro Ginza Fukusuke Main Store] directly managed by a fresh fish wholesaler. Because it is a high-quality Japanese space, it is not only used for everyday lunches, but also for entertaining people and having dinner on weekend and holidays in the private room.

If you make a reservation by the day before, you can also order a “seasonal lunch course.” 1 minute walk from exit 8 of Tokyo Metro Ginza-itchome Station.

When you hear that it’s a high-end restaurant, you might be a little nervous, but during lunchtime, they offer relatively reasonable set meals.

It’s great to be able to casually enjoy authentic Edomae sushi. If you like it, try visiting during dinner time as well.

Although it is only available on weekdays, you can also order the “daily bowl”. Since they’re working directly from a fresh fish wholesaler, you’ll have higher expectations for the ingredients.

There is also a set of nigiri sushi and chirashi. If you want to try both, please try it.

Itamae Sushi Ginza Corridor Branch

[Itamae Sushi Ginza Corridor] is known for its delicious bluefin tuna. This shop once won the highest price for tuna at the first auction for 4 years in a row.

What you should definitely order at lunchtime is the “raw bluefin tuna nakaochi-don”. This is a limited edition item and is a super special price of 980 yen.

A combination of fatty tuna and rich red meat. We serve generous portions of rare parts scraped from around the backbone.

I’m happy that they choose seasonal ingredients. It is located on the 2nd floor of Nishi Ginza department store.

It’s a little off the theme of cost-effective lunches under 2,000 yen, but I’d like to try the “all-you-can-eat” option, which you can order all day long.
