MK Guide Recommends
Founded in 1931, Tsukiji Jisaku brings the hospitality and culinary traditions of Fukuoka to central Tokyo, offering a quietly luxurious escape just south of the Tsukiji district. Renowned for its artfully composed kaiseki courses and licensed fugu (blowfish) dishes, the restaurant emphasizes seasonal ingredients, understated beauty, and tatami-style privacy. Housed in a classic low-rise building with a landscaped garden and sukiya-style architecture, Tsukiji Jisaku caters to those seeking formality without ostentation. Whether you’re entertaining guests, marking an occasion, or pursuing a deeper experience of regional Japanese cuisine, this is a house where time slows and every detail is deliberate.
