About this place
When you are craving a solid seafood meal in the midst of Tokyo's central business district, Tsuri-yado Sakaba Mazume (釣宿酒場 マヅメ) on the B1 floor of the Marunouchi Center Building is a dependable stop. On weekday afternoons, the dining room fills with diners ordering signature fisherman-style rice bowls (ryoshimeshi) and a diverse lineup of set meals, offering a thoroughly satisfying Japanese lunch even on a tight schedule.
Weekday Lunches Layered with Dashi and Side Dishes
Eye-catching lunch choices such as the grilled mackerel fisherman's rice (yaki-saba ryoshimeshi) and seared salmon belly rice (aburi salmon harasu no ryoshimeshi) come served with condiments, fish-bone soup (ara-jiru), and dashi broth, inviting you to pour the broth over the bowl midway through for a comforting ochazuke finish. For an even heartier spread, the colorful Ryukyu meal set—combining tare-marinated raw fish, grated yam (tororo), and a choice of side dish—and the handmade deep-fried horse mackerel set (tejikomi dai-aji fry teishoku) in its light, crisp coating are equally enticing options. The midday menu also features sets pairing the day's grilled fish with sashimi or fried chicken, scattered sashimi bowls (bara chirashi), and a Marunouchi-exclusive Sanuki udon topped with shaved bonito flakes, making it easy to tailor your meal to your appetite.
Lively Evening Tables Packed with Fish and Drinks
Come evening, the space shifts to an izakaya atmosphere where fresh seafood takes center stage, spotlighting catches of the day and sashimi prepped using the shinkeijime technique for optimal freshness. Alongside raw fish, thoughtful small dishes such as chikuwa seaweed tempura (isobeage), rolled omelet with eel (unatama-maki), and sake-steamed clams in butter pair effortlessly with a cold beer or a pour of sake.
The interior is set up primarily with table seating suited for lively groups, and advance table reservations are accepted. A broad selection of cashless payment methods—including major credit cards, transit IC cards, and PayPay—makes dropping in simple and stress-free, whether for a regular lunch with colleagues or a casual post-work drink.
