Voted as the Best Japanese Restaurant in the Manila's Best Kept Restaurant Secrets 2010 Awards, Tsukiji continues to provide premium and authentic Japanese cuisine courtesy of Chef Nobu Onishi and his team. After attending Kinki University, this Osaka-born chef moved to Tokyo to pursue his dream of becoming a Master Sushi Chef. He achieved more than 30 years of experience working in prestigious sushi restaurants in the Ginza Tokyo area, and now he is in Manila to offer his expertise to the diners in Tsukiji.

We arrived a quarter past noon at Tsukiji as the Friday lunch crowd began to make their way to the dining area. Luckily, we were a quartet so each one of us tried a different set. I had the Yakizakana Teishoku, a grilled dried Akta Mackerel served with tuna sashimi, rice, soup and side dishes.

We unanimously loved the Curry Rice Teishoku, with Japanese curry served in a gravy boat along with the Pork Cutlet, Rice and Side Dishes. Unlike Indian curries, this one had a slightly sweeter taste. I couldn't get enough of the side dish: spaghetti salad!  |

The Sukiyaki Teishoku was served in a hot pot, U.S. beef with sweet soy sauce broth, assorted vegetables, tofu, konnyaku. Served with rice, soup, tuna sashimi, and side dishes.

The Tonkotsu Ramen Teishoku is composed of noodles in a "pork bone" based broth with slices of roast pork and vegetables. On the side is a small bowl of Salmon Fried Rice.
