01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
When you want the pure, direct taste of Pacific bluefin tuna, high-grade lean akami is the cut to order. While rich chutoro and otoro are readily available, some diners actively prefer the balanced, clean depth of the akami. Choshimaru provides several ways to enjoy tuna beyond the standard red slice, including marinated zuke and scraped nakaochi.
For those eager to sample a variety in smaller portions, comparative platters like the 3-piece bluefin tuna selection or the 3-piece shiny silver fish assortment are convenient choices. Adding a classic torotaku thin roll and a generous bowl of ara soup—packed with vegetable chunks alongside fish trimmings—makes for a well-rounded meal.
The restaurant sits along Kawagoe Kaido and includes free parking on the grounds. Following a renovation, the updated interior is bright and calm, with touchscreens for straightforward ordering. Whether you are grabbing lunch solo at the counter or having an easy family dinner in a booth, it is a comfortable stop to assemble sushi at your own pace.
