Tsukasa: A Hidden Gem for Bluefin Tuna Enthusiasts
In the picturesque Koto Ward, there’s a special spot known as Tsukasa, perfect for those who adore exquisite Hon Maguro (bluefin tuna). Ishiji, a respected figure in the bluefin tuna trade at Toyosu Market, appears to have fashioned this remarkable establishment. Tsukasa boasts an array of delectable dishes centered around the extraordinary bluefin tuna. Among its renowned offerings is the Marugo-don, a dish featuring bluefin tuna exclusively served on Sundays. It’s renowned for its exceptionally fresh taste and is adored by all who sample it.
When you step into Tsukasa, you’re presented with a choice between two mouthwatering meals. There’s the lavish Bluefin Tuna Sashimi Set, showcasing freshly sliced bluefin tuna as the star attraction. Then, there’s the Daily Fish Set, highlighting the catch of the day, which could include mackerel or salmon.
Opting for the Bluefin Tuna Sashimi Set treats your taste buds to flavors from the seas near Katsuura, depicted in pink hues, and from the waters around Ireland, where the bluefin tuna boasts deep red flesh. Katsuura, situated in Chiba Prefecture, is renowned for its abundant catches of fresh bluefin tuna, ensuring each bite is juicy and bursting with flavor. Meanwhile, the bluefin tuna from Ireland offers a firm texture and delicious fat, enhancing the appeal of the dish even further.
Since the bluefin tuna bowl is only available for a limited time, it’s advisable to plan your visit to Tsukasa carefully. Accessible on foot from Kiba Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, Tsukasa warmly welcomes all visitors and celebrates Japan’s culinary heritage with fresh bluefin tuna and a cozy ambiance.
