Tsukiji Jisaku is a Japanese ryotei (traditional restaurant that opened in 1931.  The house was built in 1899 as one of the residences of the Iwasaki family, founders of the Mitsubishi conglomerate. It has a spacious Japanese garden with a large pond where carp swim.  You can experience the traditional Japanese architectural style and decor of the restaurant.

Visiting Tsukiji Jisaku is a rare opportunity and an incredible sensory experience.  The restaurant offers a quintessential Japanese ambiance matched with exquisite food and a traditional Japanese atmosphere.

Jisaku offers a variety of seasonal tasting menus. Our course lunch was elaborate. It featured a tori-no-mizutaki, chicken, and vegetables cooked in a special broth. This is the specialty of Tsukiji Jisaku. We also had fresh sashimi, chawanmushi, and grilled fish.  All was beautiful and perfectly balanced.  We ended our course with persimmon and ice cream as dessert.

The restaurant is a 5-minute walk from the Tsukiji market. At the market, fresh seasonal foods selected from all parts of Japan are readily available.  In addition to the kaiseki course meal, tori-no-mizutaki (chicken and vegetables cooked in a special broth) is Tsukiji Jisaku’s specialty.  It is near the heart of the city. Yet, once you step through its gate, you find yourself a world away.

We were greeted by the kimono-clad staff. They escorted us to our private dining room via the passages. We admired the traditional elements of the Japanese decor.  The manager told us that the house escaped the air raid during World War II. This was thanks to the proximity of St. Luke Hospital.

There are four small rooms for 2 to 4 people. There are also six medium-sized rooms for 4 to 14 people. Three large rooms can hold 10 to 36 people. Additionally, there are three large banquet rooms that seat 17 to 120 people, suitable for various purposes. Exquisite Kaiseki Cuisine In a Traditional Japanese Ambience
