This sushi restaurant I have been to many times is the best. In conclusion, you can eat top-notch sushi at a reasonable price. The head chef is also very nice. It has become popular, so I haven't written a review for a while (laughs). It is located about a 2-minute walk from Tsukiji Station or Shintomicho Station. The lunch special is a steal at 5,500 yen, including appetizers, 10 pieces of nigiri sushi, rolls, and soup. Despite being a lunch special, they don't cut any corners. It's so cheap and delicious that I often end up opening a bottle of champagne for lunch. Depending on the season, they also offer courses with blowfish, anglerfish, and tilefish. These require advance reservations. I once tried the softshell turtle course. It included fresh blood mixed with shochu, sashimi, hot pot, fried chicken, and rice porridge in a full course. For dinner, you can choose from a nigiri-only course or a course with nigiri and appetizers, so depending on how hungry you are, the nigiri-only course is also recommended. There are terrace seats on the first floor and table seats on the second floor, but sitting at the counter is the best. They now also offer takeout, so you can bring home nigiri sushi, chirashi sushi, and sushi rolls.

On this day, I visited Shimome-san with a friend who wanted to eat delicious sushi. Instead of the lunch set, we decided to go for the evening course "Sushi Special Course Iwao (14,300 yen including tax)". For the same price, there is a course that includes sashimi and 8 pieces of sushi, but my friend wanted to eat a lot of sushi, so we chose the 15-piece sushi course without sashimi. The appetizers included yuba topped with sea urchin and firefly squid, which got us excited. The clam chawanmushi that came next was unbelievably delicious and impressive. It had a topping of sake-steamed clams on top of the chawanmushi, with a hint of yuzu. The 15 pieces of sushi were all expertly crafted, with each piece tasting delicious as always. We didn't even need to use soy sauce. My friend was also pleased with the meal. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited a revolving sushi restaurant around 18:00, which I hadn't been to in a while. I sat at the counter and noticed that they had a wide variety of menu items like sea bream and shellfish, which is different from my usual choice of seared salmon. I enjoyed fresh live shellfish. It was a good opportunity to try different types of sushi that I don't usually eat. Since it's near Tsukiji market, there were also foreign customers. They also offer turtle sushi, so I would like to try it next time!

I have been visiting this restaurant since it opened in 2019. I usually go at night, but they also offer takeout. This time, I visited for the lunch course and some appetizers. When they first opened, the sushi was good but the appetizers were just okay. However, the appetizers have really improved and were delicious this time. The grilled fish with mehikari's shallow-dried was especially amazing! The owner's communication skills and selection of sake are top-notch. I got so caught up in the sushi and sake that I only took one-third of the photos I intended to take, haha.

I made a reservation on Tabelog and arrived at 11:30. There were various courses available, but I chose the 15-piece nigiri course. Before it started, the head chef confirmed our order. The counter had 7 seats and was fully booked. The sushi overall was fresh and had a juicy texture, unlike traditional aged Edo-style sushi. The rice was soft and moist, giving a juicy sensation when eaten. It was easy to eat and digest, which was appreciated by older customers like myself. The quality of the fish was quite good. The dishes I had that day included: - Sushi - Live yuba and sea urchin - White clam from Yamaguchi, with a nice texture - Grouper from Nagasaki, chewy - Golden eye snapper from Katsuura, delicious with well-balanced soy sauce - Konoshiro from Kumamoto, quite large - Red squid - Ishigaki shellfish from Miyagi, with a sea aroma - Barracuda, perfectly seasoned with salt - Steamed egg with salmon roe and abalone - Scallop from Hokkaido - First bonito, perfectly seasoned with soy sauce - Striped shrimp, sweeter than sweet shrimp - Flat shellfish - Tamago, slightly sweet and delicious - Pickled dish - Big fatty tuna, melts in your mouth - Conger eel, lacked flavor, possibly due to sauce or oversight - Soup with Aomori clams in red broth - Dessert, not too sweet and delicious.

I would like to recommend this place for those who are starting to get popular and find it hard to make reservations, but want to eat authentic sushi around Tsukiji. It's delicious and good value for money, and you can still get a reservation. The blue fish was fantastic. Also, the head chef is very kind. The counter on the first floor is not too formal and has a quiet atmosphere, so it's great for going with friends or family. I used it for a special occasion, and it was perfect!

[IwaO] Sushi Restaurant Sashimi, sushi, and other dishes available with a budget range of ¥15,000 to ¥25,000 per person. Located within 1km from Ginza in Shintomicho, this hidden gem of a sushi restaurant is a must-visit. The atmosphere is upscale, with a white wooden counter. The variety of dishes is impressive, and the cost performance is excellent, especially for beer lovers. The tempura of young sweetfish was delicious, and the sushi servings were just right, around eight pieces. The small rice portions and the availability of bottled beer, like Sapporo Red Star, are a plus. The pickled ginger and homemade sesame pudding were also delightful. The chef is friendly and not overly talkative, creating a comfortable dining experience. The restaurant offers counter seating, private rooms on the second floor, and a rare terrace seat on the first floor, suitable for a ladies' lunch. The menu includes a variety of dishes such as squid, tofu skin, sea urchin, tempura (young sweetfish, mountain vegetables, fava beans), grilled cherry salmon, and an additional option of bonito. The sushi selection consists of gizzard shad, ark shell, squid, shrimp, golden eye snapper, fatty tuna, salmon roe, and egg. The meal is complemented by a red miso soup with Lake Biwa clams and a homemade sesame pudding for dessert.

I visited "Sushi Shizume" in Shintomi Town for the first time. This town is known for its sushi restaurants such as Sushi Hashimoto and Sushibiyuki, so I was curious to see what this place had to offer. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious sushi I got for the price, making it my third favorite sushi restaurant in Shintomi Town. The chef, Eita Shizume, is originally from Tokyo but his ancestors are from Kofu City in Yamanashi Prefecture. The sushi rice, made with a blend of white vinegar and red vinegar, complements the various toppings without overpowering their flavors. The lineup I tried included various dishes such as marinated firefly squid, simmered white clam from Wakayama Prefecture, horse mackerel from Kumamoto, golden snapper from Katsuura, and more. The attention to detail in sourcing ingredients, like specifying the fishing boat for tuna, really impressed me. The total cost for the meal, including additional items and drinks, was 22,720 yen. The quality of the sushi for this price was truly exceptional. Chef Shizume, who has been in the sushi industry for about 20 years, is a kind and knowledgeable person who made the dining experience enjoyable for everyone. "Sushi Shizume" opened in December 2019, right around the time when the COVID-19 pandemic started. Despite the challenges, the restaurant has managed to thrive and attract customers from both China and Japan. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable sushi experience.

The medium fatty tuna sashimi was exquisite. The quality of the sushi was also very high. However, it was disappointing that despite pressing the call button multiple times, it took over 20 minutes for someone to come and take our order. (It seemed like the battery of the call button was running low, so even though the light was on, the signal was not being transmitted. Since this is not a cheap restaurant, I expected better attention to detail in such matters.)

I used this restaurant for a business meal. The shop, which was renovated from an old folk house, has a very quaint and atmospheric feel. I was provided with a private room for the meal. I was guided to two private rooms, both with table seating, but with a wonderful traditional Japanese atmosphere. For lunch, I had a set of sushi and rolls. The appetizer was squid, which was excellent. The squid was large and firm, yet very tender and delicious. It was a great start. Next came 5 pieces of sushi - white fish, mackerel, shellfish, shrimp, and sea bream. Each piece was expertly made and delicious. Following that, another 5 pieces - marinated tuna, fatty tuna, white fish, salmon roe, and egg. The fatty tuna had an amazing richness when you put it in your mouth. Every piece of sushi was fantastic. I would like to visit again when I have another business meal in the area. #lunch #Niihama-cho gourmet #Tsukiji gourmet #sushi #sushi #business meal #gourmet #want to connect with gourmet lovers

Sushi feast for ¥13200. The rice portions were small, so even women could easily eat 15 pieces. The fish was fresh and the nori on the ikura was delicious, receiving high praise. Above all, every piece of sushi was incredibly delicious, and we were very satisfied eating in the private room.

This time, I went to Sushi Shizume for a friend's birthday celebration. It was my first time sitting on the second floor, and it was great for occasions where privacy is important, like birthday celebrations or business meetings. The taste and cost performance are excellent, making it one of my favorite restaurants. This time, we ordered the "Kue" course for 16,500 yen per person, including tax. The course includes appetizers, sashimi, grilled dish (or three pieces of seasonal sushi), fried chicken, hot pot, rice porridge set, and dessert. Please note that there is an additional 10% charge for the private room fee on top of the course price.

Good evening! Continuing with my Tokyo sightseeing adventure... After checking in at Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel, I planned to go to Asakusa. Since I hadn't eaten anything all morning, I was feeling quite hungry. I didn't have a lunch spot planned out because I changed my plans last minute. I wanted to eat sushi, so I searched online and called a few places, but they were all fully booked. It was already past 1 pm, and most places closed by 2 pm, so I had to hurry. I found a sushi restaurant online that looked delicious and they said they could accommodate us until 2 pm. So, we decided to go there. The restaurant was called Sushi Shimizu in Tsukiji, Shinfumachi. The restaurant had a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, with a white wooden counter and spacious seats. The head chef, a handsome man, welcomed us. We ordered the seasonal nigiri lunch set, which included appetizers, 10 pieces of sushi, rolls, and soup. The sushi was amazing, with each piece carefully balanced in terms of rice and toppings. The highlights were the Kinmedai, Kohada, Ireland Bluefin Tuna, and Anago. The flavors were exquisite, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. The meal ended with a delicious miso soup and marinated tuna. The restaurant also had a second floor with private tables and even a terrace. Overall, it was a fantastic experience to enjoy authentic Edomae sushi prepared by a skilled chef who trained at a famous sushi restaurant in Tsukiji.

In recent years, Shintomi-cho has been called "Ura Ginza" or "Oku Ginza", but the level of sushi here is as high as in Ginza. Ginza is full of sushi restaurants, so it's natural to have many high-quality and delicious ones. Personally, I think the overall level of each individual restaurant in Shintomi-cho is high. The prices are more reasonable than in Ginza. Shizume is one of the representative sushi restaurants in Shintomi-cho. It's great that they serve lunch not only on weekdays but also on Saturdays. They also offer a 20-piece nigiri course at night for those who want to enjoy a variety of nigiri. Depending on the day, they often serve Otoro, marinated tuna, ikura, and sea urchin during lunch. The head chef and staff are friendly, making it a welcoming place for solo diners.

I remembered this while organizing my photos, so I decided to post it. It's a bit of a delayed post. This sushi restaurant is tucked away in a back alley of Tsukiji. A friend took me there, and it's quite difficult to find while walking. Unusually for a sushi restaurant, they have outdoor terrace seating. It was my first time seeing a terrace at a sushi restaurant! They also have a second floor, so there are plenty of seats and it's easy to make a reservation, which is nice. They start off with appetizers and then move on to nigiri sushi. There are plenty of appetizers, and they are delicious, making it easy to enjoy with drinks. The nigiri sushi servings are generous. I believe there were thirteen pieces if I didn't forget to take a picture. The marinated tuna, fatty tuna, sea urchin, and salmon roe were all my favorites and very delicious. I eat a lot, but I was quite full by the end! I found out later that this restaurant offers many courses, and depending on the season, they even have a course featuring soft-shelled turtle. Also, their lunch menu seems to be very cost-effective. It was a wonderful restaurant, and I would love to visit again for the soft-shelled turtle course or lunch.

On the weekend, the drinking enthusiast went to Tsukiji... Today, I heard from a friend that there is a delicious sushi restaurant in Tsukiji, so I headed to "Sushizume" in Tsukiji. As I entered the restaurant, I noticed there were 6 counter seats, terrace seats, and private rooms on the 2nd floor. First, I raised a toast with a glass of draft beer (Suntory The Premium Malt's Aroma Ale)!! It was extremely hot today, so this glass was incredibly delicious and refreshing. It felt like my body was being healed. Today, I splurged and ordered the "Goku Shizume (22,000 yen)" course. [Appetizer: Akou, Hyogo Prefecture Oysters] The oysters were juicy and milky with a soft and juicy texture. [Soy Sauce Pickled Salmon Roe] Mixing salmon roe with grated radish and wasabi allows you to enjoy the textures of both the roe and radish at the same time. When it comes to delicious dishes, you have to have sake! So, I enjoyed some from Sawayamatsu. [Sashimi] Today's sashimi included Aomori Hirame, Aichi Tai Snail, Awaji Aji, and Kyoto Trigai. The Aji was thick and easy to eat due to the precise knife work. The wasabi was from Okutama and was about 3 years old, so it was large and could be enjoyed on its own. [Akasaka, Nagasaki] The Nagasaki fish was incredibly soft and fatty, melting in the mouth. It was dangerously delicious! When eaten with grated radish, it can also be enjoyed in a light way, allowing you to enjoy two different flavors. Additionally, the liver of the fish was placed on top, adding a deep flavor. [Conger Eel] The conger eel was incredibly tender and made for a great sake pairing. [Nodoguro from Nagasaki] When eaten, it had a fluffy texture and was rich in fat, melting in the mouth. The liver sauce was incredibly delicious! [Hamo] Hamo signifies the arrival of summer. When eaten with plum meat, it's delicious. [Miyagi Abalone] The abalone, steamed for 4 hours, was very tender, and the liver sauce was incredibly delicious! [Tuna Head Stew] The tuna head was incredibly tender. The meal ended here, and it was time for sushi. Some fresh ginger was served. Just this ginger alone made the sake go down smoothly. [Katsuura Kinmedai] The golden eye snapper was beautiful and delightful to both the eyes and the palate. [Gizzard Shad] The Edo-style gizzard shad was lightly pickled in vinegar, offering a good flavor. [Red Squid from Niijima] [Irish Bluefin Tuna] [Miyagi Mirugai] The knife work made the chewy shellfish easy to eat. [Okinawa Prawn] The prawn was firm and delicious. [Irish Bluefin Tuna Pickled] It was pickled just right, offering a deep flavor. [Sanriku Sweet Shrimp] The sweet shrimp had a bouncy texture. [Otoro] The fatty tuna melted in the mouth, offering a delightful experience. [Anago from Tsushima, Nagasaki] The conger eel was large, wrapped around the rice, allowing you to fully enjoy the fluffy texture and flavor of the eel. [Iwate Scallop] [Hokkaido Sea Urchin] The sea urchin's flavor spreads throughout the mouth, bringing happiness. [Clam Soup from Aomori] I enjoyed delicious food, sushi, and sake including Sawayamatsu, Hiroki, Jokigen, and Kokuryu. [Homemade Almond Tofu, Mango] Today, I enjoyed delicious dishes and sushi at "Sushizume" in Tsukiji. I would like to visit again.

I visited Shizume for the first time at a friend's birthday party near Tsukiji station. The interior is clean and nice. I drank too much and don't particularly remember anything being especially delicious, but there was nothing bad either. If I visit again, I will try to drink less. Thank you for the meal.

I went for lunch last month and it was delicious. I can't believe you can eat at this price! I ended up going multiple times afterwards. The variety of fish changes daily so it never gets boring. I love the gizzard shad and it's really tasty.

Located about a 2-minute walk from Tsukiji Station ◆―――――――◆―――――――◆ On this day, I had lunch with a family with children. It is child-friendly, with a spacious interior and private rooms. The decor is very nice, and I especially liked the terrace! I think it's a very cost-effective sushi lunch course near Tsukiji! It costs ¥5,500! On the other hand, the nigiri sushi ordered for children was a bit expensive... The toppings included shirako, sea urchin, and tuna, which I thought was a great deal for this course! Although there was a slight fishy smell in the seafood, overall, it was a well-put-together course. The atmosphere is calm, the interior is spacious, and it's close to Tsukiji, making it perfect for exploring Tsukiji's food scene! Suitable for families as well ✌️ Tabelog Rating: ☆3.48 Budget: 7,000 yen Business Hours: 11:30-, 17:30- Closed on Sundays Address: 2-6-9 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo #SushiShizume #Sushi #SushiLover #Shizume #TsukijiLunch #TsukijiDinner #TsukijiMarket #WantToConnectWithSushiLovers #WantToConnectWithSushiLovers #sushi

This is a hidden gem sushi restaurant located in a renovated old Japanese house in a back alley of Niitomi-cho. There is a spacious counter and large private rooms available, making it convenient for guests. When I tried to make a reservation at the end of 2020, there were not many available restaurants due to the recent changes in working styles. The restaurant is located in a very quiet area with many residential homes on the outskirts of Tsukiji. I enjoyed a leisurely lunch in a private room on the second floor. Lunch course: 5,500 yen - Appetizer (small dishes) - Seasonal sushi (10 pieces) - Rolled sushi - Soup On this day, the small dish was taro with white sauce and ponzu. The sushi included egg, fatty tuna, lean tuna, squid, salmon roe battleship, sea bream, flounder, kohada, ark shell, red clam, and kanpyo roll. Despite it being lunchtime, I also enjoyed a beer and had a relaxing time. The service was attentive and thoughtful, reflecting the fact that it is a new restaurant.

I visited this restaurant around 1:00 PM on a regular weekday. It is a little hidden gem in Shin-Tomi-cho. There was a curtain hanging at the entrance, and no lunch menu was displayed, so I felt a bit nervous as I entered. I was seated at a counter made of a single plank, and when I looked behind me, I was surprised to see a terrace in the courtyard. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was elegant and refreshing. I opted for the lunch course, which cost 3300 yen. The meal included various dishes such as squid, flounder, sea bream, scallop, white squid, shrimp, small skin, seaweed soup, fatty tuna, marinated tuna, salmon roe, egg, and rolled pickles. Everything was delicious. After looking at the menu, I am interested in trying the dinner course next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

A calm and elegant restaurant located a little away from Tsukiji Market. The interior is beautifully decorated with a warm atmosphere. The dishes we tried were delicious. The cost per piece is around 500 yen, so the overall value for money is decent. The seasonal course costs 5,500 yen (tax included) and includes various dishes such as red snapper, flounder, scallop, white squid, shrimp, tuna, sea urchin, and more.
