Tsukiji Sushi Iwa Sohonten (Main Shop)

A sacred spot for sushi, Tsukiji is known as one of the best places in Tokyo to enjoy fresh seafood since it was once the site of Tsukiji Market. Sushi Iwa is a long-established sushi restaurant located only a minute’s walk from Tsukiji Station. The interior atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxing but gives a feeling of high quality. The chefs will prepare top-grade Edo-style sushi with their traditional technique that is inherited from the Taisho era of Japan. Here, you can see the chefs are creating nigiri that looks like a work of art.
