Maguro mart – Tuna paradise at Nakano

Maguro mart – マグロマート

The most Japanese likes wagyu and Maguro(tuna), but while there is many restaurants which are serving great wagyu beef in tokyo, it is difficult to find a restaurant with great Maguro , as typically Maguro is only part of menu.

This restaurant is definitely for Maguro lovers, most of menu are including Maguro even the atmosphere in the restaurant smells Maguro.

This restaurant is in demand very much, so it is very difficult to secure a table. The reservation is opening one month before everyday, so it is better to call exactly one month before around noon as the staff starts working around noon or check the reservation site.
