Sushi all-you-can-eat! This was a restaurant I had been wanting to try, attracted by the enticing phrase. However, the idea of going to Kabukicho at night was a bit intimidating for a country bumpkin like me (laughs), and having all-you-can-eat sushi for lunch didn't seem quite right either. Working in Shinjuku, I never quite got around to it. In yesterday's meeting, we discussed various strategies to address the increasing demand for FIT (individual travel) from group tour buses. In the midst of these discussions, it became clear that "food" is the most important content for overseas visitors coming to Japan. "Let's find a hint and go enjoy Japan's proud food culture, sushi! Boss!" I dragged my boss out to eat sushi. Unfortunately, it was not covered by expenses, but this way, even if we went over our lunch break, we could still pass it off as a "meeting" and not get in trouble, even if we couldn't move after eating too much (laughs). When it comes to all-you-can-eat sushi, I couldn't help but feel it was a bit unusual, but in reality, there are quite a few sushi corners in buffets and all-you-can-eat yakiniku places. However, the quality of such sushi is often below that of conveyor belt sushi. In the past, there was a boom in conveyor belt sushi places where you could pay around 1,000 to 1,500 yen to enter and eat all the sushi you wanted, but they all disappeared after a few years, perhaps because they weren't profitable. Even in regular sushi restaurants that offer all-you-can-eat, the menu is limited, the portions are small, and the rice is too big. However, this restaurant had a very wide variety of menu items. They even had high-end items like sea urchin, salmon roe, and fatty tuna on the menu. But sea urchin, salmon roe, and fatty tuna all varied in price. I was half-expecting and half-giving up before going. I thought, "If it's 3,980 yen, it's about the same price as Choshi Maru or Akio Maru, so I'll be fine with that level of sushi." (Sorry, Choshi Maru and Kizuna Sushi, and sorry to the rotating sushi places for the comparison) When we sat down, the rules were explained, including the time limit, how to order, and penalties for leftovers. It wasn't so much about age, but the skillful handling of customers and the good atmosphere made the female staff feel like a veteran hostess. Even though it was a chain restaurant, having such experienced waitstaff was nice. She said, "The best part of all-you-can-eat sushi is that no matter what you order, the price is the same! Whether it's sea urchin, fatty tuna, or whatever, please feel free to order whatever you like as much as you like!" It was like a well-rehearsed speech, flowing smoothly. I ordered 10 sea urchin gunkan sushi, and for a moment, I froze at the sight. I had never seen such a magnificent display of sea urchin before. The sea urchin, with its shiny color, was incomparable to anything you would see at a conveyor belt sushi place. Even the sea urchin that comes with regular sushi at other restaurants doesn't look as appetizing. It was like the sea urchin you would only see when you bravely ordered it separately as a "chef's choice"... I took a bite. Not bitter! Not fishy!! And sweet ♡♡♡ What is this?? Is this sea urchin okay to eat so much of...? I was briefly worried when it came time to pay that someone scary would come and charge me a huge amount, but in my mind, I was worried, but my hands and mouth were already enjoying the second piece... Delicious! I couldn't stop!! I should have ordered something more plain at first... If they serve this from the beginning, it's no good! Next came the other sushi orders on large plates, and the fatty tuna was delicious! But this was not top-grade fatty tuna, just the regular kind you can find anywhere. But it was delicious enough, with thick slices that felt luxurious. The seared fatty tuna had a salty taste?? I thought, but it seemed to have no flavor at all, just seared... But the flavor was condensed and it might be even more delicious than regular fatty tuna. The amberjack also had thick slices that felt luxurious. They were clearly disregarding the cost... The enagawa was...

The restaurant is located at 1-18-8 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, in the First Monami Building on the 1st floor and basement 1st floor. I visited on Saturday at 6:58 PM to satisfy my hunger. The restaurant was full, and since I didn't have a reservation, I was told there would be a 50-minute wait. I found a number tag and decided to wait for my turn. More customers kept coming in afterwards. The clientele consisted mainly of couples and foreign tourists. The staff at the restaurant can speak English, so foreign visitors can feel at ease. I was seated at the counter at 7:30 PM. There were four sushi chefs preparing the dishes energetically. I ordered a Uni and Ikura bowl for 3080 yen, along with green tea, while my mother ordered the Kabuki bowl using the touch panel at our seats. The green tea arrived at 7:34 PM, piping hot. At 7:41 PM, the Uni and Ikura bowl and seaweed and green onion miso soup were served. The Ikura was small but flavorful, with a nice soy sauce flavor. The Uni was sweet and delicious, without any bitterness. The miso soup was also delicious, with a rich broth. Thank you for the meal.

I couldn't make a reservation so I went in directly. There was a long line at night, so it could take about 30-40 minutes. I ordered the all-you-can-eat menu. The sushi pieces were large and satisfying. There are a decent variety of appetizers, but be careful not to order too much as the portions are quite big.

On this day, I had a meeting at the hotel in the TOHO Building in Shinjuku Kabukicho Godzilla at noon. I wanted to have lunch before the meeting in Shinjuku, but I made a mistake in transferring trains, so I was running quite late! I found a restaurant near Godzilla that seemed to serve quickly, Kizuna Sushi Shinjuku Kabukicho store, and quickly went in for a 10-minute lunch. When asked if I wanted the all-you-can-eat option, I declined and sat at the counter. I ordered the Maguro (tuna) rice bowl for 1298 yen (tax included) and it was served to me in no time. The tuna belly and lean meat were just right and the Maguro bowl was delicious. It came with a big miso soup called Daimyo Wan, which was also tasty and a good deal. Next time, I want to come back to check out the all-you-can-eat sushi. Thank you for the meal. I will come again!

Visited for the first time around 12:30 on Sunday. It's about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit towards Kabukicho. The sushi restaurant is located in the First Monami Building right next to the Godzilla head. Today, I had lunch with my junior from my college club who came to visit from Nagano during this long weekend. We were a bit worried about the waiting time since reservations were not accepted, but we were seated at a table on the B1F after waiting for about 10 minutes. We ordered the "Sushi & Specialty Dishes" all-you-can-eat course for men priced at 4,818 yen. We received a brief explanation from the staff and started the 120-minute all-you-can-eat experience. We ordered even-numbered pieces from the 100 varieties of sushi and shared them between the two of us. Personally, I enjoyed the sea urchin battleship, scallops, amberjack with sauce, and Nara pickled cheese, and ended up ordering them multiple times. After finishing our meal, we paid the bill. Looking at the receipt, we had consumed a total of 110 pieces per person. Both of us ended up eating the lowest number of sushi pieces ever due to slight intoxication... I vow to adjust my stomach condition and challenge the all-you-can-eat sushi again next time.

This time, the venue for the M meeting was Kabukicho. We decided to have sushi for lunch before the M meeting. I really like sushi, and whenever I eat sushi, I feel motivated to do my best, even though I always end up losing. This time, we went to a sushi restaurant near the mahjong parlor. They had an all-you-can-eat course, but we chose to order at the counter. It was a touch panel system. I ordered my favorites like salmon, squid, and tuna, five pieces each. They brought them all at once. I wanted to order miso soup, but it was 400 yen, so I just had free cold water. Maybe that's why I lost... Lately, when I go to sushi restaurants, the rice balls seem bigger than usual. The toppings were decent. The bill came out to a little over 1,000 yen. It's a bit on the pricier side if you think of it as conveyor belt sushi. It's more of a casual sushi restaurant where you eat quickly and move on to the next place for the meeting.

I visited the restaurant around 4 pm on a weekday with one other person. The interior was spacious with both counter and table seats. About half of the seats were occupied. We sat at a table and ordered the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink option through a tablet. The food and drinks arrived within a few minutes of ordering. The sushi pieces were large with less rice, so we were able to eat a lot. The meal also included some side dishes. The total bill for two people, a man and a woman, came to 12,452 yen, which is around 6,000 yen per person. We will definitely visit again.

The sushi was served quickly, which was great. If you have room in your stomach, the side dishes are also delicious. Compared to conveyor belt sushi, the sushi here has slightly larger portions of rice and toppings, so as someone in their 50s, I had to give up after 27 pieces. I think it would be nice if there were slightly less rice so I could try more varieties.

I was disappointed that some of the sushi rice was dry and inedible, and the ikura I was looking forward to turned out to be masago. Other than that, everything was delicious. The delivery was fast after ordering. I went at 5:30 PM on Wednesday and there were hardly any customers in the basement. By the time I left at 7:30 PM, it was so crowded that there was a line on the stairs. I recommend making a reservation.

I visited the restaurant after a long time. They offered all-you-can-eat with all-you-can-drink alcohol. The menu seemed to have changed since my last visit, with some items like firefly squid being replaced. Personally, I was happy to see that the salad portion, which used to be for 2-3 people, had been reduced to a single serving size. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the amount of uni and ikura with cucumber had been halved. The amount of rice in the sushi seemed to have increased slightly, but the size of the fish toppings remained satisfying. I ordered medium fatty tuna, horse mackerel, sardine, squid, salmon with koji, and salmon roe sushi. Despite the current economic situation, I appreciated that the all-you-can-eat price remained unchanged. However, as someone who used to consider this my favorite sushi buffet place, I couldn't help but wish they had raised prices to maintain quality instead. The coupon application process seemed stricter than before. Overall, I was slightly less satisfied compared to previous visits, but still enjoyed the experience.

Second visit, the service speed and variety of menu items were good. However, the wasabi amount in the sushi was too strong, like a Russian roulette style where one out of a few pieces is intense. The menu on the app is lacking and visually unappealing. The eel and tamagoyaki were delicious, I could eat eel all day. I wonder how many 70 bowls of eel I've eaten so far.

I've always wanted to try all-you-can-eat sushi! The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly, which left a good impression. We ordered using a touch panel and then dug in! The taste was okay, maybe I had set my expectations too high. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't incredibly delicious. The reviews made it sound like it would be amazing, so I was a little disappointed. The rice was on the larger side, so if you don't usually eat a lot, it might not be worth it. I found myself regretting not just going to a conveyor belt sushi place and eating until I was satisfied. However, there is a certain excitement in the idea of all-you-can-eat sushi, so maybe that's where the fun lies (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by after watching a movie at noon on a holiday. They had all-you-can-eat options, but I ordered normally. The food was delicious, especially the octopus. It was so good that I ordered it again, but the second time it was just regular octopus. It was like raw octopus the first time. It's a good place to stop by for a meal before or after a movie.

I had made a reservation for Saturday lunch. Suddenly, there was an emergency scramble and I entered the restaurant. It became a counter showdown with the chef, and I ordered using a touch panel in front of me. I started with seared tuna to test the freshness of the fish. I then ordered medium fatty tuna, salmon, and squid, followed by ikura and sea urchin battleships. The chef's relentless attacks, including shrimp, scallops, and conger eel, were difficult to handle, but I managed to defend myself with long-range tactics. The chef also made minor adjustments with searing and marinating. Despite feeling full, I couldn't resist ordering fried octopus and miso soup from the side menu. The sushi and side dishes were all delicious. I left feeling satisfied but regretted not having room for tamagoyaki this time. I like to eat tamagoyaki as a standalone dish with soy sauce, but I missed out this time. I'll look forward to it next time. It was a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience, with the sushi quality improving. The total bill was 4818 yen, and you can use the Jeff Gourmet Card as well. I highly recommend this restaurant, but it's best to make a reservation in advance as it tends to get crowded.

Unlike during the COVID-19 self-restraint period, the store is full of customers now. There are many foreign customers, so it's fun to observe the staff who are improving their English conversation skills and those who are not. It's a lively and nice restaurant.

I was invited to go to a restaurant because the shareholder benefits are until the end of this month. I had seen it many times before, but I had never been there, so I was very interested. Since I had plans to watch a movie next, I couldn't eat too much, so I chose bara-chirashi sushi. It was cheap, delicious, and totally worth it. Next time, I want to try the all-you-can-eat option.

It's about a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, near TOHO Cinemas in Kabukicho. I had made a reservation for arrival at 12:45 on a holiday, so I was able to enter smoothly. The restaurant is quite large, with counter seats and table seats on the first floor, and table seats and a kitchen on the basement floor. Those doing the all-you-can-eat option are likely guided to the basement. This time, I ordered the "All-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink" option (5,896 yen) which includes unlimited alcohol. It's a 2-hour time limit with last order 30 minutes before, and each order is limited to 30 pieces, with a penalty for leftovers. I started with a toast with beer, followed by ordering sake and green tea mixed with alcohol. The all-you-can-drink option costs an additional 1,000 yen, making it a good deal. I was disappointed with the sushi toppings, as they were a bit lacking. The freshness was not bad, but there was a big difference in quality. The tuna lacked the richness of tuna, and the salmon roe was sparse on the rice, so the popping texture was hardly felt. The shellfish was especially bad. The sea urchin was fresh and delicious. The octopus tempura and grilled salmon belly were tasty. The rice was a bit on the larger side. The service speed was fast, which was good. I went to this restaurant based on the high ratings on Tabelog, but it was a disappointment. I was full, but I regretted that I could have eaten normally for 5,000 yen instead of opting for the all-you-can-eat option. Thank you for the meal.

While it is famous for its all-you-can-eat option, I opted for the lunch set as I can't eat that much. It included just under 10 pieces of sushi, thick rolled omelette, and miso soup for around 1000 yen, which seemed like a great deal considering the location. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the miso soup, served in a surprisingly large bowl, had a nice aroma with seaweed-like ingredients that tasted great.

I came here to use my shareholder benefits coupons. I've always dreamed of having all-you-can-eat sushi. Watching YouTube videos about it gets me excited. This is my second visit. I don't like crowded places, so I made a reservation for 5:00 PM and it was quite empty, which was good. It started getting busier around 7:00 PM. I had been drinking for almost 2 hours this day, so I came here experimentally to see if I could eat a lot. You see, when I drink, I tend to eat a lot, so I thought about drinking beforehand to see if I could eat more. Last time when I added the all-you-can-drink option, I felt like I couldn't eat as much. I skipped lunch and had a light snack while drinking, but the results were not that different. Maybe I need to drink for longer to see the effects. The sushi at the all-you-can-eat place really emphasizes the rice. I wish the pieces were smaller. The quality of the fish is better than conveyor belt sushi, but the sizes vary a lot. Salmon and tuna are big, while sardines and shellfish are small. I love sardines, so I wish they were bigger. I didn't order any appetizers this time, but I took some reference photos. I wanted to try the Nara-zuke cheese, but I think they didn't have it. I had 26 pieces and I lost (laughs). It was about 168 yen per piece (I calculated the price divided by the number). Maybe I should just go to a regular sushi restaurant. I might try a different type of restaurant with my next coupon.

Visited "Kizuna Sushi" in Kabukicho, Shinjuku. Made a reservation for the all-you-can-eat sushi menu with a 90-minute time limit (total stay 120 minutes). I had a lot of medium fatty tuna and sea urchin. It's nice to be able to eat a lot without worrying about the payment. But at my age, I can't eat that much anymore. I recommend it to young people who want to eat a lot of sushi. After this, I went to Kabukicho Tower, which had just opened! Thank you for the meal. Visit date: 2023.05.04

I visited from Osaka for sightseeing. I was wondering about the atmosphere, but when I was guided to the basement floor, I was able to spend a luxurious time that didn't feel like Shinjuku! The food arrived quickly after ordering, and the female staff was very friendly. The sushi pieces were large, and the rice portion was slightly bigger! If this quality is available for around 4000 yen, I wouldn't mind going for all-you-can-eat again. Personally, the fatty tuna and shrimp were too delicious! The occasional green onion was also a nice touch! I was able to enjoy without getting tired because I could also eat side dishes!

I recently noticed a significant price increase, which is disappointing. However, the seafood at sushi restaurants is of much higher quality compared to izakayas. The sushi here is fresh and delicious. The restaurant has become very popular, with many foreign customers as well. It is lively and bustling.
