In the past when there was no refrigeration facility, Edo fishermen used vinegar or salt to pickle raw fish to keep them fresh and edible, resulting in pickled fish and sushi. Pickled sushi is marinated with seaweed, sake, soy sauce and delivers a more intense flavour when compared to raw fish sushi.

The pickled sushi is also available a la carte during lunch and dinner.
