Bearing a red lantern in a narrow back alley of the Tsukiji Outer Market, Motodane is a nostalgic neighborhood sushi spot long loved by market workers and locals alike. The signature Nigiri 1.5-serving—beautifully arranged radiating out like flower petals from the center of a round plate—presents a luxurious spread of various sushi toppings (neta), such as thick-cut Pacific bluefin tuna and shrimp, offering immense satisfaction. Alongside the rich umami of high-grade Pacific bluefin tuna procured from Toyosu, the generous Maru Chirashi and exceptionally fresh sashimi set meal (teishoku) are also popular favorites. The flavorful miso soup, brewed with dashi extracted from shrimp and fish bones, is another highly regarded bowl that further enhances the sushi. With counter seats offering a close-up view of the chef's craft, this renowned spot is ideal for a solo sushi meal or day drinking, all within a warm, welcoming, and historic downtown atmosphere.
