Munakataya 宗像屋


I learnt about Munakataya  宗像屋 from a TV show 區區開伙 about food  in Shamshipo. It sells only sashimi rice like a mountain with 4 choices.  The cheapest one is Plum 梅. Sashimi includes tuna, minced tuna, surfclam 北寄貝, sweet shrimp, scallop, squid, yellowtail, salmon roe and eel.  An upgrade version with a bigger portion of sashimi is called Bamboo 竹.  With additional crab meat is called Pine 松.  The Surpreme 特上 adds sea urchin.  To begin with, I took Bamboo.

Waitresses were keen to tell you the 3 ways to enjoy the mountain sashimi rice. But before you touch the rice, you can enjoy first sashmi in sesame dressing.

Now begin!  The first way is to mix washabi into the soy sauce and pour the mixture onto the mountain of sashimi.  Mix the sashimi and rice and enjoy.  Oh yes, different fish swim in your mouth. But you can't differentiate between them. Description?  Mouthwatering!



The next way is to put a bit sashimi and rice onto a sheet of nori.  Then roll it like a cone.  Not ice cream but another superb gourmet.   


The last but not the least:  Leave some rice on the bowl.  A waitress will fill in with fish and seafood soup.  You can put the sashimi in the sesame sauce and the sauce in to the soup with the rice.   Very nice!


The time I left was about 1.45.  A queue outside!
