About Chosei An
A neighborhood izakaya in Tsukiji recognized by Tabelog 100 (EAST) for three years, serving breakfast soba, market-fresh sashimi at lunch, and sake-forward group dinners. Lunch runs JPY 2,000–2,999 with walk-in access; dinner (JPY 6,000–7,999) requires reservations and operates on a timed, all-you-can-drink format. The 28-seat room functions as a local anchor rather than a tourist destination.
Chosei An is a Tokyo venue with broad listed hours: it opens at 7 AM on most weekdays, opens later on Wednesday, has evening hours Monday through Friday, has a shorter Saturday schedule, and closes on Sunday. Verified public details are limited, so this guide focuses on what can be stated confidently: the city, price bands, hours, casual dress code, and Tabelog 100 Izakaya (EAST) 2025 recognition.
The verified price ranges are JPY 2,000–2,999 and JPY 6,000–7,999. Beyond that, specific dishes, seating layout, booking method, beverage program, and service format are not confirmed here. Compared with Tokyo dining more broadly, Chosei An sits in a practical price bracket rather than the very highest fine-dining tier.
Daytime Hours: Practical Planning
Chosei An’s listed daytime hours are broad: 7 AM–2:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 11 AM–2:30 PM on Wednesday; and 7 AM–2 PM on Saturday. The verified lower price band is JPY 2,000–2,999. Specific morning or midday dishes, walk-in policy, seat count, and crowd patterns are not confirmed, so plan around the published hours and current availability rather than assuming a particular menu or format.
Evening Format: Confirmed Hours, Limited Detail
Evening hours are listed Monday through Friday from 6 PM to 9 PM. The verified higher price band is JPY 6,000–7,999. Details such as course structure, drink packages, seating style, group capacity, reservation requirements, and noise level are not verified here, so they should not be treated as established facts. Chosei An is best approached as a casual Tokyo venue with confirmed evening hours on weekdays.
The dress code is casual. No verified information is available here about a sake, shochu, wine, or cocktail program, so any beverage expectations should be confirmed directly before visiting.
Location and Access
Chosei An is in Tokyo. Specific street address, station access, building details, phone number, and neighborhood landmarks are not verified here, so this guide does not rely on them. Check current official or reservation channels before going, especially because hours can change.

At JPY 6,000–7,999 for dinner, Chosei An sits slightly below Tempura Kurokawa (JPY 8,000–9,999 dinner) but matches Takeno (JPY 6,000–7,999 dinner) in price tier. Kurokawa specializes in tempura and attracts a more formal crowd; Chosei An's broader izakaya menu and group-friendly format make it a better fit for parties of four or more. For solo diners or pairs prioritizing counter seating and quiet, neither venue offers that experience, look instead to smaller kappo or sushi-ya formats.
Seiju (tempura, ¥¥¥¥) occupies a higher price bracket and delivers omakase-level precision, making it the splurge choice if tempura is the priority. Chosei An's strength lies in its accessibility: breakfast and lunch service, walk-in availability during daytime hours, and lower lunch pricing (JPY 2,000–2,999) offer entry points that Seiju and Kurokawa do not. For travelers building a Tsukiji itinerary around market tours and lunch stops, Chosei An is the easier booking and the better midday value.
Trattoria Tsukiji Paradiso (Italian, JPY 8,000–9,999 dinner) and Torimeshi Torito Bunten (casual yakitori, under JPY 1,000) bracket Chosei An from above and below. Paradiso suits Western-leaning palates and date-night occasions; Torito Bunten delivers quick, budget-friendly bites. Chosei An occupies the middle: Tabelog-recognized quality, sake depth, and group capacity without the formality or price ceiling of fine-dining izakaya. Book it for team dinners, midday market meals, or early-evening sake sessions when other Tsukiji venues are closed or fully committed.
