Salmon three-color kaisendon at Isomaru Suisan Togoshi-Ginza — salmon sashimi, ikura, and minced salmon on lightly seasoned sushi rice inside an all-day seafood izakaya in Tokyo.

Introduction

Kaisendon (seafood rice bowl) isn’t just for port towns anymore—you can enjoy it easily in Tokyo, any time of day. Isomaru Suisan Togoshi-Ginza is an all-day izakaya that serves seafood bowls from lunch to late night. Whether you drop in midday or after a stroll, you’ll find colorful kaisendon alongside the lively energy of a neighborhood seafood pub.

What to Try

There are many combinations of seafood bowls here—browse the menu and pick the one you like. I had the Salmon Three-Color Bowl, topped with salmon sashimi, ikura, and minced salmon. That minced salmon isn’t tuna; it’s a salmon-flavored, negitoro-style mince with a gentle richness. The three textures and different levels of fat make the bowl feel layered and satisfying.

For rice, shops serve either plain white rice or sushi rice. I recommend sushi rice. At Isomaru Suisan it’s lightly seasoned, which pairs well with the toppings and keeps each bite refreshing.

Tokyo or Trip?

Togoshi-Ginza balances everyday locals and curious visitors beautifully. You’ll find regional specialty shops alongside places like Isomaru Suisan that gather favorites from all over Japan—all-day izakaya, all-day kaisendon. Stroll the street and you’ll meet many faces of Japan in one neighborhood.

About "Taste of Japan"

Hello, I'm Yuta.
Born in landlocked Yamanashi and having lived in the gourmet city of Sendai for 10 years, I now call Togoshi-Ginza home. My frequent business trips across Japan allow me to constantly explore the diversity of regional flavors.

Why Togoshi-Ginza?

This street is Tokyo’s longest shopping arcade (about 1.3 km), but it holds a special history. It was the very first street in Japan to adopt the "Ginza" name—a tradition that later spread across the country—after receiving bricks from the famous Ginza district following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.

My Wish as a Local

I am not a culinary expert. However, as a Japanese local who knows both the convenience of Tokyo and the origins of regional food, I want to share the "atmosphere" and "personal feelings" that you won't find in standard guidebooks.

The Concept: "Tokyo or Trip?"

Visiting every region of Japan in a single trip is nearly impossible. Some food experiences are worth the travel to the source, while others offer a fully satisfying experience right here in Tokyo.

This blog is a guide to help you make that choice. Based in Togoshi-Ginza, I share my honest experiences and "my personal answer" to help you maximize your culinary journey in Japan.
