These are some of my favorite Sushi restaurants in Tokyo. I highly recommend you to go there and give them a try.
Sushidan
This is likely one of the city’s most cost-effective sushi Omakase spots.
But just because it’s easy on the wallet doesn’t mean it skimps on quality
or authenticity. Sushi Dun provides an artful and expert-domain sushi
experience in a casual and family-friendly setting. If you want to dip
your toes into delicate Japanese sushi without breaking the bank.
Then their Shiro Omakase course is truly one of the most affordable I’ve
ever come across in Japan. Since it’s Omakase style, the selections change
according to the chef’s recommendation on the day. This also means that
the sushi served is of the utmost freshness based on market availability
and seasonality. Overall, this Omakase experience is excellent for beginners
and seasoned sushi aficionados. Its accessible location near Shibuya and
user-friendly online reservation system make the process easy and stress-free.
Moreover, the casual atmosphere and friendly staff warmly introduce delicate
sushi, making it enjoyable.
Sushi Itsumi Akasaka
Sushi lovers, you have to try out Sushi Itsumi in Akasaka.
They offer a fantastic Omakase experience that is surprisingly very affordable.
Their Omakase calls for 18 dishes, They give you sushi just under 10,000 Yen
per person, but their side dishes are also impressive. There, the sushi chefs
were explaining the dishes in simple English, and they were also very tourist-
friendly. One thing to note is that the call starts at the same time for all customers,
so for the dinner course, you have to make a reservation at either 6:00 or 8:30 p.m.
As we reached the last few offerings in the meal, my highlight was the seafood
tamagoyaki Gohan they gave you at the end. The great thing was that you could
choose the size you wanted because it’s at the end of the omakase meal and you
are probably very full. So if you are very full, you can go for a small one, but if you
still have space to spear, then you can go for the big one. I hope you will have a great meal.
Hanamaru
Kaitenzushi Nemuro Hanamaru KITTE Marunouchi are based out of Hokkaido,
So they have some fresh Pacific seafood coming down here to Tokyo, and they
have two other locations besides one in Ginza. There you have two options.
Here, you can also grab conveyor belt sushi, and you can order it through
a sheet. Just write down what you want, and they also have a sheet that actually
tells you how to order and how to use the facilities. You can ask for
wasabi or no wasabi on your sushi, and this is a list of all the sushi you can
choose from so they make it really simple here: it’s in English. They have
different colored plates at varying prices, so you know how much you pay
for each sushi. The sushi will come through the conveyor belt because the
chefs are constantly making it and putting it on the conveyor belt because
they want you to eat it freshly made. They will walk around and say, Hey, do
you like this freshly made item? So if you do, they will bring it to you. If not,
they will put it on the conveyor belt, so if you see the chefs walking around
saying you want to try this, um, you may want to try it while it’s fresh.
Sushi Tokyo Ten
Sushi Tokyo Ten is a well-known sushi restaurant in Tokyo, and I am glad to say
that its Omakase course is only $66 per person. Their course contains 26 dishes.
The best part is that they prepare the sushi right in front of your eyes, so it assures
that the sushi is totally fresh. That way, your craving for sushi will increase, and the
sushi will taste best that way. The way they prepare it is excellent. There, I noticed
something good about the chefs on our plates: ginger and wasabi were on the right
side of our plate. Still, there was a guy beside me whose ginger and the wasabi were
on the left side because we were right-handers, so ours was given to the right side,
and the guy beside me was a left-hander. He was given to the left side; this is brilliant.
This is undoubtedly one of the best sushi restaurants out here in Tokyo.
Hina Sushi
Hina Sushi is an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet in Tokyo, and it has six different locations
here in Tokyo. There are a lot of sushi buffets in Tokyo, but I chose Hina sushi because
they have a two-hour time limit, so you have all the time in the world to have a selection
of 60 different sushi you can choose from. They have an English menu, and you can
order up to 20 sushi at a time. You have to write the number beside the sushi name on
the menu, and they will prepare it for you and bring it to you. It’s not on the menu, but
you can also order miso soup and ginger separately. I heard that this shop is very busy
and takes a long time to order, but since I came there on a Tuesday afternoon it was
pretty empty, and the order arrived quickly. But when it’s busy, it may take some time,
so I suggest you place your next order as soon as you receive your first order. That way,
you don’t get too far behind when eating your sushi.
