Chef Okajima\u2019s attention was caught by the presence of a variety of scrumptious seafood present in the town where he grew up as a child. Later on, he decided to venture into the food industry and started working at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo by buying fish and seafood for a small-scale sushi shop in the city.<\/p>\n

With his efforts, he became a full-fledged sushi chef and later on decided to put up his own sushi restaurant in the Philippines, naming it \u201cTsukiji\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, Tsukiji Japanese Restaurant in Makati City continues to serve the freshest, high-quality seafood, flown thrice a week from the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n

Some of Tsukiji’s best sellers include a sashimi mix of salmon, scallops, hamachi<\/em> (yellowtail), hontoro <\/em>(fatty tuna belly), maguro <\/em>(tuna), tako <\/em>(octopus), ebi <\/em>(prawns), and uni <\/em>(sea urchin), among others.<\/p>\n
