About this place
For an evening of quiet drinks and seafood in Akabane, Tsukinoya Sushi is an easy destination to settle into. The daily menu, written across chalkboards and paper slips, highlights seafood sourced from around Japan—seared alfonsino sashimi from Katsuura in Boshu, line-caught horse mackerel from Mie, and whelk from Hokkaido. Guests can enjoy the satisfying crunch of whelk or ask for pen shell clam lightly seared and finished with salt, relishing the chance to consult with the master for tailored preparations.
Beyond raw fish, the shop offers a rich selection of hot plates that pair naturally with drinks. Hokkaido true shishamo grilled as a pair, rich saikyo-grilled black cod, and Oita threadfin filefish tossed with its own creamy liver showcase careful kitchen craft that makes ordering a pleasure. The drinks list includes sakes such as Sharaku, Hakkaisan, and Masuizumi alongside white wine and beer, letting guests settle into their preferred rhythm.
After savouring drinks and small dishes, nigiri sushi makes the natural finish. Diners can select an indulgent tokujo deluxe set, assortments focused on silver-skinned fish, or simple rolls to suit their appetite. With counter spots and table seating, the restaurant is welcoming for solo diners looking for an unhurried dinner, operating from 17:00 to 22:00 in the evening.
