‘Isonoya’ is a little-known hot spot for eating in the Tsukiji Market

A variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes are popular among regular guests

 

 

 

Customers from nearby company offices shops know which dish is delicious!

There are more than 70 menu items cooked with high quality fresh food materials

High quality fresh seafood materials are purchased every day at the Tsukiji Market and shared with ‘Iso-zushi’ because ‘Isonoya’ is a sister restaurant under the same management. As well as their set meals, a variety of à la carte dishes is also very popular among staffs who work in the market.

 

‘Isonoya’ is located on the 2^nd floor of ‘Iso-zushi’, which has rather wider seating area, including four Japanese style tatami rooms. Approximate capacity of these rooms is 30 people all together, which are suitable for small gatherings. Including staffs working at the market, to cope with other visitors, more than 70 menu items of Japanese, Western, and Chinese cuisine are always served. Each different cook takes care of them in the kitchen. If you like to have a full-course dinner, reservation is required. There are a few Japanese dinner courses which include sushi items.

Fresh food materials are purchased every day at the market

Although, ‘Isonoya’ has a large number of tables, all of them are filled with nearby office workers including people working for the market. They really know which eating place serves delicious food.

It is only natural that it should have turned out that way. Mr. Isono, the owner of ‘Isonoya’, purchases high quality fresh food materials at the market for both ‘Isonoya’ and ‘Iso-zush’, a sister restaurant.

“We always serve daily and weekly menu items cooked with fresh seasonal food materials selected at the market. And we only purchase fresh food materials among goods at the market every day and used them up within the day.” Mr. Isono said.

 

One of their popular menus ‘Hotate-yakisoba’ or chow mein cooked with scallops is served with green pak choi, mushrooms, and three pieces of large scallops. You can find their high quality of food materials when you eat another popular menu, ‘Fried salmon in butter’. A large slice of fresh salmon is cooked with simple seasonings.
