I was craving delicious inari sushi, so I searched online and found this shop recommended on multiple sites. The fried tofu pouch was soaked in a sweet and salty sauce, even seeping into the center of the rice. I got it to go, and they kindly warned me that the sauce might leak if I tilted the container. When I took a bite, the sauce oozed out and filled my mouth with flavor. The fried tofu was thick and juicy.

Nice to meet you, I'm Chappy Jinbo. I'd like to request. Asakusa Shinotazu Sushi at 1-1-10 Kaminarimon, Taito-ku. The phone number is 03-3844-1795. The nearest stations are Asakusa Station or Tawaramachi Station. This time, I bought 9 pieces of 5 inari and 4 nori. The price is 950 yen. The quality of the inari and nori was surprisingly high, with a taste that has not changed in a good way, as expected from a long-established store. Personally, I found the balance between the taste of inari and sushi rice to be exquisite. The request not to lay them on their side after purchase was also very good. That's about it. See you again.

A long-established sushi restaurant in Asakusa specializing in take-out. The atmosphere here exudes nostalgia. The inari sushi is dripping with broth and full of flavor. The dried gourd has a calm and comforting taste. Thank you for the delicious meal.

In Asakusa, there is a takeout-only shop that offers only inari sushi and dried gourd rolls on their menu, which is very refined. It's impressive that they can run a business with just these two items. The inari sushi has a rich soy sauce flavor that seeps in, and with each bite, it spreads in your mouth, which is irresistible. The rice is simple with nothing mixed in, yet it has a universally delicious taste. The dried gourd rolls have a more subdued taste compared to the inari sushi, but they maintain a good balance in a positive way. Thank you for the meal.

After ordering, they make inari and kanpyo maki, so you have to wait a bit. The rice is fluffy and delicious. Even after some time has passed, the flavors have melded together and the inari has become exceptionally delicious. I wonder if they are a mother and son? The landlady and her son have a friendly Edo-style service that feels nice.

A shop that specializes in strong-flavored inari sushi for takeout only. I've been here many times, and today I chose 4 pieces each of kanpyo maki and inari sushi for 850 yen. As always, they asked me to carry it home without laying it flat. The inari sushi, with its sweet and savory simmered tofu pouches oozing with sauce, is my favorite. The shop is tucked away and easy to miss, so I passed by it a few times before noticing it. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in Asakusa.

Category: Favorite Izakaya (Tokyo) Today's walk took me towards Kuramae and Asakusa. Along the way, I came across "Asakusa Shino Sushi" and decided to buy a small set of Inari-zushi and Nori-maki, three pieces each. They prepare the order and pack it for you to take home. I managed to carry them back home keeping them level. Now, it's time to open up my own izakaya at home. I'll start by making a Shote-mae Highball with Kinmiya, soda, and bitters. The Inari-zushi is delicious, with the broth seeping out gently. The Nori-maki is made with kanpyo, and the harmony of nori and vinegar is beautiful. Both were really tasty. I'd love to enjoy them while looking at the Sumida River during cherry blossom season. Thank you for the wonderful meal! "Asakusa Shino Sushi" 1-1-10 Kaminarimon, Taito-ku, Tokyo Open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Wednesdays

One week ago, I visited Asakusa Shinoda Sushi with high hopes of completing my Tokyo Shinoda Sushi tour, only to be rejected. Determined not to repeat the same mistake, I called at the beginning of the week to confirm their operating hours. The lady who answered the phone informed me that they had been closed on Tuesdays in addition to their regular Wednesday closure due to the state of emergency. Regardless, I avoided Tuesdays and Wednesdays for my visit this time. After enjoying a fantastic triple curry at Budoshu in Kanda-kaji-cho, I took the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to Asakusa and first stopped at Kameju. With few customers and no wait, I was able to quickly make my way to Asakusa Shinoda Sushi. As I passed by the long line at the Chinese hand-pulled noodle restaurant Maza across the street, an elderly lady customer entered the shop before me. Since the shop was small, I waited outside until she finished ordering and then entered. The man behind the counter, who appeared to be the shop owner in his forties, greeted me with a warm "Welcome." There was also a woman who I assumed was his wife in the back. I ordered a 10-piece mixed set for 950 yen (tax included), which included 6 pieces of Shinoda (Inari sushi) and 4 pieces of kampyo maki. The shop owner told me to wait as he prepared my order. After a few minutes, he quickly handed me the completed set. As I paid, I mentioned that I had come last Tuesday only to find the shop closed, to which the shop owner apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, we've been closed on Tuesdays recently due to Corona." Their kind and humble customer service towards first-time visitors is definitely a charm of this shop. I took the set home and immediately tried it. First, the Shinoda. I was surprised by how much sauce was at the bottom of the box, as I had heard in advance. This is definitely unique to Asakusa Shinoda Sushi. The seasoning was a bit sweet for my taste, but the vinegar in the rice balanced it out nicely. Next, the kampyo maki. One noticeable difference was that the seaweed was slightly green instead of black like the other three shops. The flavor was very good when I tasted it. Similar to Shinoda, the vinegar in the rice was not as strong as in Ningyocho Shinoda Sushi, but it blended well with the seaweed's flavor. Lastly, the pickled ginger. The pickled ginger here was vinegar-based like what you would typically find in a sushi restaurant, unlike the salt-based pickled ginger from Ningyocho and Yotsuya. This type of pickled ginger suits my taste the best. In terms of quantity and price, Ningyocho Shinoda Sushi offers the best value, but when considering taste as well, Asakusa Shinoda Sushi takes the lead. In terms of atmosphere, Ningyocho Shinoda Sushi is the best, followed by Asakusa and then Yotsuya. Customer service is almost equal among Ningyocho, Asakusa, and Yotsuya. With this, my tour of Tokyo Shinoda Sushi comes to a close. My personal ranking of the four shops is as follows. What do you think of these rankings? ☆ Overall Evaluation (Taste, Service, Atmosphere, etc.) 1st place: Asakusa Shinoda Sushi 2nd place: Ningyocho Shinoda Sushi 3rd place: Yotsuya Shinoda Sushi Honorable mention: Kanda Shinoda Sushi ◉ Taste Evaluation 1st place: Asakusa Shinoda Sushi 2nd place: Ningyocho Shinoda Sushi 2nd place: Yotsuya Shinoda Sushi 4th place: Kanda Shinoda Sushi In any case, Asakusa lives up to its reputation. Both Kameju and Asakusa Shinoda Sushi are must-visit places when in Asakusa.

I happened to come across this long-established restaurant while enjoying lunch and traditional Japanese sweets in Asakusa. Although the main store is in Ningyocho, this branch is also worth a visit. I didn't plan to buy anything, but I couldn't resist their delicious sweets and ended up getting a set of fried tofu pouches and seaweed rolls for dinner. The sushi had a nostalgic taste, and the packaging made it a great souvenir. The fried tofu pouches were quite sweet, and I surprisingly enjoyed the seaweed rolls, which I don't usually eat. This set was a convenient and satisfying choice, and I enjoyed it with a sense of nostalgia.

When I went to Asakusa, I parked in front of a horse parking lot and this shop was right across from it. I decided to buy something to add to my dinner. The inari sushi was similar to convenience store quality, a bit too sweet. The norimaki was excellent. The simmered gourd was cooked perfectly and delicious. The sweetness around here might depend on personal preference, but I really wanted to eat more norimaki. I remember seeing it in the shop window, so next time I'll just get the norimaki. I wonder how other shops are like?

I walked past the store but couldn't resist going back. It's a take-out only shop, and I had a sudden craving for it. The specialty here is the juicy broth in the "inari sushi" - sweet and savory, just right. Personally, I prefer inari sushi with ginger and sesame in the rice, but here it's simple vinegar rice without any additional ingredients. The amount of rice is just right, not too much or too little. I ordered the "mix 9 pieces" set, which includes 5 inari sushi and 4 kan of kanpeimaki. I waited for about 5 minutes for the set to be ready. At home, I enjoyed the kanpeimaki with wasabi, which was sweet and spicy. The inari sushi oozed with broth, living up to expectations. It's simple but delicious. The original store, "Ningyocho Sohonten," was established in 1877, and later branches were opened in Kanda, Yotsuya, and here in Asakusa. It's convenient to have such a sushi shop nearby.

A shop that only serves Inari-zushi and kampyo-maki rolls. When you place your order, they tell you they will make it now so please wait. The Inari-zushi here has a soft fried tofu and plenty of seasoned broth. It's delicious when eaten with the pickled ginger provided! The kampyo-maki rolls have a nice seaweed aroma and are tasty. The wrapping paper has a nostalgic feel and is lovely.

Asakusa Shinonosushi (Toei Asakusa Line, Asakusa Station, 3-4 minutes on foot) Suddenly craving for Inari Sushi 2020/2 (Saturday) Cloudy Arrived around 10 am after watching a vaudeville show with my husband (store opens at 9 am) 1 person in line, no wait Order: "6-piece set (3 pieces of Inari Sushi, 3 pieces of Kanpyo Maki)" 570 yen My impression: Taste ★★★★☆, Atmosphere ★★★☆☆, Service ★★★☆☆, Cleanliness ★★★☆☆ Customer demographics: The customer before me was a male. Comment: Looking forward to enjoying the vaudeville show at Asakusa Engei Hall, I decided to accompany it with some Inari Sushi from Shinonosushi. When I opened the door of the shop, I saw a glass showcase displaying sets of 6, 7, and 8 pieces. I ordered a 6-piece set for two people and waited a bit. When I received the order, my husband suddenly said, "I forgot to ask for chopsticks," but I realized they were already included when I touched the top of the package. The attention to detail in making sure the chopsticks don't shift impressed me. Upon opening the lid, I was greeted by cute Inari Sushi and Nori Maki. Sometimes I have a sudden craving for Inari Sushi, and this one was not overly sweet, with a gentle vinegar taste in the sushi rice. It was so delicious that I couldn't help but want more. The Nori Maki was also tasty! While I don't usually crave Kanpyo Maki, eating it occasionally like this makes me appreciate its flavor. I will definitely buy some again when I go to see a vaudeville show in Asakusa.

I used takeout on a weekday afternoon at the end of January. The small shop had a calm atmosphere. I purchased a set of 7 kampyo maki and 7 inari sushi for 1300 yen. I took it home and enjoyed it. The combination of kampyo maki and inari sushi was delicious as always!

I stopped by this restaurant when I visited Asakusa in September 2019. I had seen this place a few years ago when I was nearby, but didn't have the chance to go until now. When I arrived around lunchtime, I was told that they had just run out of rice, but they could prepare more in about 50 minutes. So, I explored other places and came back later. The menu consisted of only kanpyo maki and inari sushi. It was around the time of the Buddhist equinox, so the staff seemed busy preparing boxes for a large order. I chose a smaller size and ate it on a bench nearby. Inari sushi: Thick and juicy. The flavor was rich, and the vinegared rice was sweet and sour, very delicious! Kanpyo maki: The nori had a nice presence, and the kanpyo had a good texture with a mild flavor. Both were of high quality, and it was a delicious sushi with a taste reminiscent of the Edo period's downtown. I would definitely like to buy them again if I visit the area.

This shop is one of my favorites. I always buy the "mix" inari sushi, which includes inari sushi and kanpyo maki. The kanpyo maki is pretty average, but what I really love is the inari sushi. It has a slightly spicy seasoning which I like. It's sweet and savory, and the fried tofu pouch is very juicy, which is the highlight of this place. It's so juicy that it makes me feel thirsty afterwards. I buy it at the main store or at other locations, but for me, this is the best inari sushi I've ever had.

I always passed by this shop and was intrigued by the constant flow of customers going in and out. Upon entering, I was greeted by a showcase filled with inari sushi and kanpyo maki. Despite the limited selection, the confident display hinted at the quality of the offerings. Today, I purchased the "Mix of 6 pieces - 3 inari sushi and 3 kanpyo maki for 540 yen." It seems they make the items after you place your order. The simple naming scheme felt familiar and inviting. The kanpyo maki had a strong vinegar flavor mixed with a well-defined sweet and savory taste. The inari sushi was generously filled with seasoned tofu pouches, featuring a sweeter flavor profile. Both items were bite-sized and perfect for a quick snack. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and this shop is great for everyday use. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered a bento box with 4 seaweed rolls and 3 inari sushi from a takeout sushi shop known for their inari sushi and seaweed rolls near Asakusa Station. I picked it up just before noon and enjoyed it on a boat ride down the river in the early afternoon. The inari sushi was deliciously sweet, and I felt like I could have eaten more, but the slightly smaller portion size made it even more enjoyable. The seaweed rolls had a great combination with kampyo, but they were slightly overshadowed by the inari sushi. Overall, the quantity of the order seemed just right.

I received six pieces for 540 yen. I had 3 pieces of dried gourd roll, 3 pieces of inari sushi, and ginger. The dried gourd roll is tightly wrapped with glossy seaweed. The dried gourd from northern Kanto is cooked in the store. The inari sushi has a relatively plump appearance. The fried tofu is well simmered, and the flavor spreads in the mouth. The ginger has a strong taste, perfect for a palate cleanser. Overall, it is high-quality sushi with great cost performance. The inari sushi is covered with a vinyl inner bag to prevent the simmered juice from leaking. It has a compact size, making it easy to handle. It is said to be a gift from Kanda Shino Sushi, a product that has been loved for a long time.

On this day, I went to Asakusa to pick up a 1.5-pound Pelican bread that I had reserved on the same day. On my way to Pelican, I stopped by this shop to buy my dinner. It is a shop that sells inari sushi and seaweed rolls on the street leading from Asakusa Street to the Asakusa Ichichome intersection on the Kaminarimon Street. The shop seems to be independently owned, unlike the more corporate feel of the same brand in Kanda and Ningyocho. When I visited around 3:20 PM, there were two people in the shop - a man in his 40s who seemed to be the owner, and an elderly lady who I assume is his mother. The showcase displayed only inari sushi and seaweed rolls (kanpyo maki), keeping the product lineup simple. Last time, I had a mix of 4 inari sushi and 4 seaweed rolls, but this time I ordered the smallest option - a mix of 3 inari sushi and 3 seaweed rolls for 540 yen. After waiting a few minutes on the chair outside, I received a well-packed plastic bag with a reminder to hold it horizontally to prevent the sauce from leaking. When I tried them at home, both the inari sushi and seaweed rolls were delicious as always. The inari sushi had a rich sweet and savory flavor with juicy sauce. It had a typical downtown taste with just the right amount of oil removal after frying. It was firm and had a crisp taste, giving it a touch of elegance. I also enjoyed the seaweed rolls, although they had a milder taste of kanpyo compared to the ones in Kanda. The seaweed was especially tasty. It had been two and a half years since my last visit, but the flavors were still the same, which was reassuring. In these challenging times for small independently owned shops, I hope they continue to make delicious inari sushi.
