Tsukiji Sushi, Taman Tun Dr Ismail

Offering omakase-quality seafood and beef at wallet-friendly prices that start from as low as RM2 for selected sushi, Tsukiji Sushi is TTDI's choice for cheerful Japanese meals.

Popular with the neighbourhood's office workers and residents, Tsukiji Sushi promises fish and premium oceanic treasures delivered fresh throughout the week from Tokyo's Toyosu market.

Tsukiji Sushi also serves halal-certified Japanese Shimomuragyu A5 Wagyu beef, which has won the top prize at Japan's prominent wagyu championship for 10 consecutive years. 

Take a seat at the sushi counter to watch Tsukiji Sushi's skilled chefs prepare your meal to order, from elegant engawa sushi to opulent oysters and much more.

For the flagship sampler of top specialities, the Tsukiji Signature Platter (RM168) showcases a luscious medley of sushi and sashimi, such as Ebi Sushi, Hotate Sushi, Squid Sushi and Tamago Sushi, plus Hamachi Sashimi, Shiro Maguro Sashimi, Tako Sashimi and Salmon Sashimi, as well as coveted delicacies of Chutoro Sashimi and Uni with Russian Caviar.

Also memorable are melt-in-the-mouth indulgences like Engawa Sushi (RM8.80) and Shimomuragyu A5 Wagyu Sushi (RM14.80), beautifully representing the best of land and sea.

Japanese Oysters (RM11.80) prove pleasurably plump, with a pure, naturally sweet brininess that speaks cleanly and clearly of the sea, showered with ikura and caviar for extra luxury.

Crowd-pleasers like Salmon Belly Sashimi, topped with ikura (RM12.80), and Soft Shell Crab Inari (RM6.80) make Tsukiji Sushi an affordable destination for a delightful Japanese feast.

Breathing soft-lit life into salvaged wood, time-worn with grain and grit, Kuro is an evocative space to explore, weathered with wonder and whimsy, with cabinets and crates of curios, counters of Copenn and cookies. Bar seats provide a patinated peek into the calm cadence and choreography of coffee-brewing.

Pair the flagship tofu cheesecake with coolers prepared with patience and purpose, featuring coffee immersed for 24 hours in milk, slow-cooked for four hours or sharpened with young and old ginger, plus tea perked up with pomelo, sour plum or salted citrus peels.
