Sashimi BAR Kashigashira opens as a restaurant during the day and as a bar at night.  The kaisendon is served only during the daytime.  At night, the restaurant turns into a bar, mainly serving full course dinners.

This restaurant is located on the B1 floor of a multi-tenant building in Tsukiji’s Outside Market.  Although it’s not so easy to reach, people line up for the food before the restaurant even opens.  We recommend that you arrive at the restaurant as early as possible, since all the seats will be taken as soon as it opens.  It opens from 11:30 for lunch and 18:30 for dinner.

Worth to try this luxury menu Tsukiji-jougai-don

Tsukiji-jougai-don is Sashimi BAR Kashigashira’s special menu item.

This meal comes as a double bowl, one stacked on top of the other.  The top half is kaisendon (fresh seafood rice bowl) that is full of seafood such as a prawn and ikura (roe), whereas the bottom half is kaisen-chirashizushi (sushi rice with seafood and other ingredients such as eggs and vegetables).  Combining the two levels, you can eat over twenty different kinds of  seafood.

We can safely say that you won’t be able to find another restaurant that serves kaisendon with so many different kinds of seafood anywhere but here.  It’s 3,000 yen, but totally worth it!
