The Ikura roe may not be unlimited but there is more than enough Ikura roe to go with the rice as these shoyu-cured salmon roe are very salty. Certainly, not everyone will fancy the tiny explosion of umami juices in every mouthful but if you haven't try it before, it's worth giving a shot.
Rice bowls or sushi topped with massive amount of sashimi isn't anything novel but the recent spotlight seemed to have landed on Ikura. This is a very good deal at (¥1590) especially if you are on a budget yet looking for a satisfying and lavish meal. This is because an average packet of premium Ikura roe of this size costs nearly ¥1000.

The other rice bowl is the Seafood Jewel Box that is topped with an equal amount of Uni (sea urchin) and Ikura (salmon roe). It's more expensive at around ¥2250 but I prefer the Ikura bowl was tastier probably because the rice was warm.
Located at the basement of a random Shibuya street, this izakaya also serves all kinds of light bites, beers, and grilled food. One appetizing dish to order is the raw toro with Uni (¥890) トロたくあん絶品ウニのせ that was served with crunchy seaweed papers. The salt from the seaweed provided a fine balance to the sweetness of the sashimi, making this one of the more successful raw fish stack I've ever tasted.
