Lunch at 秀徳本店 , Tsukiji

Went for lunch at this little shop in Tsukiji called 秀徳本店 (Shu-toku honten).

This little sushi shop is a little hidden away from the main road but the sushi was definitely top notch.

This place if good too as you don't have to queue a long time for a good omakase course.

We both ordered the omakase course. I ordered the 4200 yen course while my friend ordered the 6000 yen one.

I'm super happy with the experience this time. As the restaurant was less crowded, I was able to enjoy my sushi slow piece by piece. The last time I tried an omakase course, the shop had a long queue outside. Before you finish the sushi on your plate, the sushi chef would have placed another sushi on your plate. So it feels kinda rushed.

Here, you get to watch the sushi chef make your order. You can talk to him and ask him things about the seafood. So the experience was really good.

The rice used here isn't the normal sushi rice, they're slightly brownish in colour because of the soy sauce used.

I love the hotate and uni served here. The hotate was topped with the coarse sea salt which really helped to enhance its flavours. As for the uni, just look at this masterpiece~! YUMMY~!! :D

Really enjoy sitting right in front of the chef who's preparing the food.

Best part is that he tells you what each of the fish is every time he serves something to you.

The miso soup that came with the meal.

Each piece of sushi was well seasoned and there was no need for any soy sauce.

If there's something that you don't eat, you can inform the chef and change it to something else. 

The girl who was sitting next to me doesn't take uni and the chef changed it to something else for.

Since my friend ordered the more expensive course, some of the more premium looking sushi here were his.

Most of the time, the chef would make 2 sushi at the same time and place it on this plate here before placing it on our individual plates.

Here's an ikura temaki to end the meal~

I absolutely love this cup. It explains the different fish that were in season throughout the year.

Look out for this lantern here and the sign below to find the shop.

We found out where the shop got their cups and went to check the shop out. But they no longer had the same design.

After that, we explored around the market and spotted this expensive, square watermelon!!!

We also chanced upon a shop slicing tuna. Lucky!
