Maguroya Kurogin

The freshest and fattiest tuna I’ve ever had!! We had to wait in line for about 30 minutes in the morning but it was so worth it. I wasn’t a fan of tuna but now I am…it literally melts in your mouth. It’s one of those places where you see people waiting in line and you know it’s good. There are tables you can eat and stand or we got the tuna to go and ate a table nearby!

This is without a doubt one of the most popular stores in the Tsukiji Outer Market, and there is always a line. I must have been lucky on a Saturday morning at 10:00, as I only waited around 15–20 minutes. Even at that time, some items had already sold out. The line moves quickly, though. Since I was on my own, I ordered one piece of the special fatty tuna sushi and one piece of the fatty tuna sushi. After ordering, you receive a receipt and are assigned a standing area to enjoy your food. I highly recommend eating it immediately while it’s fresh. I have to admit — it lived up to the hype. The tuna was incredibly fresh and melted in your mouth. Staff were friendly and pleasant, and the service was efficient. Would definitely recommend.

I arrived early around 8am at Maguroya Kurogin Tsukiji Main Store to make sure I could get some of the freshest sushi possible, and honestly… wow. These were easily some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The fish tasted unbelievably fresh and everything melted in your mouth. Even with the lineup, the whole process was really well organized and surprisingly fast. For the price, the quality is honestly incredible and absolutely worth it. If you’re visiting Tokyo and love sushi, I definitely recommend giving this spot a try.

We tried this viral sushi spot at Tsukiji Outer Market and it absolutely lived up to the hype. As expected, it was very crowded—especially since we visited on a Saturday morning during Golden Week—but the line moved surprisingly fast. We ordered the medium fatty mixed sushi set, and even with the crowd, we only waited about 10 minutes for a table. The sushi was incredibly fresh, rich, and flavorful—easily one of the highlights of our visit. Definitely worth the hype, and I wouldn’t hesitate to join the crowd again for another round.

The ingredients are very fresh. The sweet fish is very delicious. It's suitable for the price. The queue at the store is very long, but the wait is not long. Because the service is quite fast. In front of the store, there is a table to stand and eat. I recommend it 🙏🏻
