Everyone knows that Tsujiki Fish Market is the center of the universe for the freshest offerings from the Pacific Ocean, but for die-hard fans of the golden gonads of sea urchin, Sushi Kuni is the real destination. Located in the outer Tsujiki market within a stone’s throw of the fish market, Sushi Kuni is an obsessive ode to uni and serves as a bucket list mecca for any self-respecting uni fan. Helmed by a salaryman from a long line of fishermen turned uni master, Sushi Kuni is a family operation with brother and sister working side by side as sushi chefs. The interior is unassuming and simple with a small sushi bar and four tables that stay packed all day.

The specialty here is the overflowing Uni bowl, and true to its name there’s so much Uni that the challenge can seem daunting. And yet when you do finally uncover the bed of perfectly vinegared rice below, you go through a series of emotions: uni-filled bliss, sadness that there is no more uni and regret that you devoured the sweet and salty essence of the ocean so quickly. Luckily there’s plenty more to be had on the menu with various uni combination bowls ranging from nothing but uni to the kitchen sink seafood bowl with pretty much every offering from the sea stuffed into a rainbow of deliciousness.

Of course given the proximity to Tsujiki, Sushi Kuni offers other seafood items such as a melt-in-your-mouth seared snapper and fresh shucked oysters the size of a very small head. But for uni aficionados , uni is the beginning, middle and end.

Draped by a couple of short noren curtains, you could be forgiven for walking past Sushi Okame and imagining that you had just spied a cheap drinking bar, before going on your way and thinking nothing of it.

But this tiny standing-only establishment is a little gem of a working class sushi bar that protects the budget and doesn’t skimp on quality or flavour. They say it serves eight people but I’m not really sure where the other four spaces are to be had, but there you go, eight people. Right next to Lawsons convenience store at the Shin-Ohashi and Harumi Dori intersection, it’s literally up the road from Tsukiji Station.

You can order a la carte or sets. A standard opening salvo for a set (tokusen) includes marinated tuna (zuke maguro), fatty tuna (chutoro), extra fatty tuna (otoro) and yellowtail (hamachi). One of the bar’s features is its well-considered bite-sized balance between rice (shari) and topping (neta). Do compliment the chef on the rice. It’s nice, not soft but certainly not hard, and goes surprisingly well with the textural toppings.

Their sweet shrimp (amai ebi) is succulent, thick and gorgeously smooth to the palate. The salmon roe (ikura) and sea urchin (uni) ooze ocean smoothness. Shellfish items like arc shell (akagai) and clam are full of texture and taste. The shiny fish toppings like mackerel (saba) and gizzard shad (kohada) are simply delicious, to say nothing of the silky blanket-like conger eel (anago)… Sushi Okame is not elegant, refined or high class, but each time I visit, I leave the bar happy. Surrounded by the hustle and bustle of a thousand people going off to a thousand places, it’s a great little sushi experience that, quite literally, can only be found in Japan.

GETTING THERE
Head left from Exit 1 of Tsukiji station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya line, then walk along Shin-Ohashi Dori (you’ll have Tsukiji Honganji Temple on your left) until you reach the main intersection with Harumi Dori. You’ll see the Lawsons convenience store across the road ahead of you, and Sushi Okame is right next door to it.

Chef Keita Aoyama opened this place in 2017, and a Michelin star soon followed. He’s a Hokkaido-born chef who mastered the Tokyo sushi style, and now enjoys a reputation as one of the best chefs in the Tsukiji area.

He goes beyond great knife-work, even controlling the temperature at which each piece of sushi is served to best match the topping. The rice is seasoned with red vinegar in the original, historic style, with just a little salt.

His full omakase course features around a half dozen appetizers and 16 nigiri! These move across the pescatarian color spectrum from red-fleshed fish to white.
