Ohitsuzen Tanbo
With rice this good, you almost forget about the fresh fish that tops it (almost).

“I seek out Ohitsuzen Tanbo during each visit. It’s a casual spot that focuses on high-quality, perfectly steamed rice. The little jewels are served in a beautiful wooden box and topped with salmon roe, crispy salmon skin, grilled eel, and other fish. There are only about 20 seats; a line forms during lunch hour because it’s so popular with locals.”
