Best Seafood Restaurants in Tokyo

Tokyo is arguably the world's greatest city for seafood — a claim supported by the fact that Tsukiji (and its successor Toyosu) is the world's most sophisticated fish market, processing over 400 varieties of marine life daily. Japanese culinary tradition treats seafood with an exactitude and reverence found nowhere else on earth, and Tokyo's seafood restaurants reflect this in every aspect of their operation.

Toyosu Market's outer market area provides the most accessible introduction, with sushi bars and seafood restaurants where the fish was swimming hours before arriving on your plate. Ginza and Marunouchi host the city's most expensive sushi omakase experiences, while Tsukishima's monjayaki restaurants incorporate local seafood, and Shibuya's izakayas offer an informal but no less excellent approach to Japanese seafood culture.
