Sukiya

Located just outside the south exit of Okachimachi Station, this Sukiya operates from 4:00 early in the morning until 3:00 the following day, making it an easy drop-in spot at almost any hour. The signature beef bowl comes piled with tender simmered beef and sweet onions soaked through with savory broth, turning into a comforting, unpretentious meal when paired with a hot bowl of miso soup.

A wide range of toppings lets you adjust the bowl to your taste. Rich combinations include the melty 3-cheese blend and the green onion and raw egg bowl, alongside crisper pairings like grated daikon radish with citrusy ponzu sauce. Diners can also round out their tray with hearty pork-and-vegetable tonjiru soup or opt for beef curry, tailoring the meal to whatever level of hunger strikes.

Morning hours bring value-packed Japanese breakfast sets such as the maze-nokke set—featuring soft-boiled egg and okra—and grilled salmon with raw egg over rice. Those wishing to cut down on carbohydrates can order the Gyudon Light with tofu instead of rice or add fresh side salads, dining comfortably at counter or table seating at their own pace.
