Tsukiji Unitora Nakadori

If you’re obsessed with uni (like me 🤤), this place is a dream! The uni is super fresh, creamy, and absolutely delicious. All the seafood here is top quality – every bite tastes like the ocean (in the best way). Yes, there’s a queue – but trust me, it’s 100% worth the wait! 🍣🐟✨

A Must-Visit for Uni Lovers! The restaurant has expanded its space, so the wait time was much shorter this time. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding—everything was incredibly fresh. If you love uni, this is the place to be! They seem to have almost every variety available. The prices are on the higher side, but it’s absolutely worth it. A famous spot that truly lives up to its reputation!

the chirashi bowl with uni, ikura, sweet shrimp, fatty tuna, scallops and more was only 8000 yen! very fresh and yummy overall for the price. super clean and outstanding service. they remain open during the day time unlike other stores where they close between 2 to 5pm.

We went on a rainy day and there was zero wait, however it seems like they have a lot more space than they used to. We sat in the upstairs annex and it was still a beautiful sushi bar. Their main dish is Uni and they serve it as part of a rice bowl. We went with the 3 Uni option which I thought was enough. Food was delicious.

Queues are not too long, suitable for those who dislike waiting. Food taste isn't exceptionally outstanding, prices are on the higher side. A good option for tourists who want to experience the atmosphere of Tsukiji Market and enjoy fresh seafood without spending a lot of time waiting.

Got here around 10.45am on a Sunday and waited a little over 5 minutes. If you want to sit by the main bar it’s a longer wait but we were ok going to the back to a more secluded part. 300 yen per person charge since it’s a table (cannot be used for food). We got the uni tasting and also one with rice. Super creamy and delicious uni. Not cheap so 2 people we spent ~13000 yen but uni was so fresh and good. Also there’s service charge on top.

Hidden uni heaven alert — Awesome Uni Rice 雅 is an absolute gem for all sea urchin lovers! Their signature 6 kinds of premium uni over rice is next-level — rich, creamy, and insanely fresh. Every bite tastes like the ocean in the best way possible. We also tried their bluefin tuna ootoro to test the freshness — and yes, they totally passed our freshness test! Melt-in-your-mouth perfection with beautiful marbling. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to experience top-tier fresh uni in Tokyo. Bonus: the boss was grilling scallops right outside when we arrived — love the vibe! It’s tucked away in a small inner lane, and we were lucky to walk in between 9–10am with no queue. Scored a bar seat right in front of the chefs, and it made the experience even more special. If you’re into fresh uni and sushi done right — this is your spot! #UniLovers #TokyoEats #HiddenGem #SeaUrchinRice #AwesomeUniRice #FreshnessTestPassed #OotoroPerfection #SushiBarVibes

I visited a famous sushi bar at Tsukiji Market and ended up at the opposite personal chef’s counter, across the Unitora due to the long queue. It felt a bit uncomfortable at first. However, we are here to taste sashimi, and watching the chef prepare fresh sashimi right in front of me was amazing. The sashimi platter was fresh and perfectly cut—worth every bite. I skipped the popular uni donburi since I’m not a fan yet. The miso soup with crab legs was tasty, though tricky to eat because of the shell. Overall, a unique experience! If you visit, try this it’s all about freshness and skill.
