Located on the 12th floor of Daimaru department store at Tokyo Station, Magurokadan is known for its beautiful bara-chirashi (small pieces of sashimi over rice) that looks like a jewellery box. Topped with a colourful assortment of raw fish sourced from across the country, the rice is seasoned with red vinegar, kanpyo (dried gourd) and shitake mushrooms for boosted flavour.
Each order comes with three seasonal side dishes, a chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and a shellfish soup. A serving of bara-chirashi costs between ¥2,500 and ¥3,300 depending on your choice of toppings. You can also pair your meal with a sake tasting set, where you get three glasses of the restaurant’s best sake for ¥1,500.
