I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. It was fully booked on that day for the 2-hour all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink deal for men at a flat rate of 6000 yen. The all-you-can-eat alone costs 4939 yen, so the all-you-can-drink is around 1000 yen. It's cheap and fair. There are instructions and notices on the table, all within common sense. They also explain the same verbally. Orders are placed through a touch panel. There is no countdown, but after 1 hour and 20 minutes, a display saying "10 minutes left" appears. As for the types of sushi, there are around 77 items on the menu, but in reality, there are about 50 types since some overlap like the seared, gunkan, and rolls. We ended up eating 115 pieces between two friends. You can order up to a max of 20 pieces at once using the touch panel. Here are the times it took for the orders to arrive after placing them: 2 pieces in 3 minutes (automatic for the special of the day), 20 pieces in 10 minutes, 20 pieces in 13 minutes, 20 pieces in 13 minutes, 20 pieces in 12 minutes, 18 pieces in 14 minutes, 15 pieces in 8 minutes. Good points include the service from the waitstaff, serving time, variety of drinks, freedom to choose what to eat, smaller sushi rice portions, satisfaction level, and price. Average points include the freshness and variety of the sushi. Not so good points include the sushi-making skills, the hidden hands of the chefs even though they are visible, the appearance of the sushi, and the lack of a luxurious feel despite being labeled as high-end sushi.

After a long time, we took on the challenge! All-you-can-eat sushi! The three of us ate until we were full. First, each of us was automatically served one piece of large shrimp sushi, which was delicious and raised our expectations (apparently the recommended item of the day, which could not be ordered afterwards). We could order up to 30 pieces at a time, as many times as we wanted within the time limit. We tried almost all the menu items like fatty tuna, squid, sea urchin, salmon, medium fatty tuna... and ended up completely full. The salmon tartare and seared squid were especially delicious. We managed to finish with some time to spare!

Today, I had dinner with my senior colleague at the company. We could freely enjoy our favorite dishes without any hesitation. This photo is from the third round, as we were about to finish. I was so focused on eating in the beginning that I forgot to take photos. With all-you-can-drink included, the 6000 yen price was reasonable. I sometimes use this place and had a great meal today too. Thank you for the delicious food!

This is a sushi restaurant located in the 7th floor restaurant area of Yodobashi Camera LABI1 in Ikebukuro. I visited with my wife for lunch on a Saturday. We arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 am, but there was already a line of about 6-7 people in front of the shop. We lined up behind them and waited for our turn. There were still empty seats inside the restaurant, so the line moved forward gradually, and we were seated at a table after about 15 minutes. During lunchtime, many customers were enjoying the all-you-can-eat option, but since we couldn't eat that much, I ordered the Hina nigiri and my wife ordered the Colorful Gozen (sushi, chawanmushi, and dessert set) from the menu. After a slightly longer wait, our sushi arrived. My Hina nigiri consisted of 12 pieces of sushi plus tamagoyaki. The selection of sushi that day included chutoro, salmon, red snapper, scallop, conger eel, squid, shrimp, shad roe, sea urchin gunkan, salmon roe gunkan, and negitoro gunkan. The sushi was delicious, but I felt that the cost performance was slightly lower compared to the lunchtime special of 15 pieces of nigiri (1.5 servings) on weekdays, which is almost 1000 yen cheaper.

The other day, I went to eat with a friend in Ikebukuro and decided to try the all-you-can-eat at "Hina Sushi," a restaurant I had never been to before. Located in the Yamada Denki restaurant area near the station, the restaurant offers a variety of options including a "luxury sushi all-you-can-eat" which is a specialty. The all-you-can-eat option costs ¥4,939 for men and ¥4,609 for women for a 120-minute dining time (last order at 90 minutes). The selection of sushi includes all types, including a monthly "limited edition" item, which this month was snow crab. Each table can order up to 20 pieces at a time, and the food is served in the order of the requests. The snow crab and chawanmushi arrived first, and while they were decent, they didn't quite live up to the "luxury sushi" claim of the restaurant. The sushi pieces were of a normal size but with smaller rice portions, making them easy to eat in one bite. The cooked items like seared scallop, medium fatty tuna, simmered scallop, eel, and conger eel were a mix of good and average in taste. The seasonal seared blackthroat seaperch that we ordered later was also just okay. The horse mackerel, clam, sea bream, conger eel, tuna battleship, seared salmon, and seared squid were a mix of delicious and average, with the clam and sea bream standing out. The cherry shrimp, bonito, sardine, clam, conger eel, simmered scallop, and seasonal limited items were all delicious. The live octopus, ark shell, tamago, and seared scallop were decent for the last order. Overall, I had over 50 pieces of sushi, and while the cost performance was good, there were some hits and misses in terms of taste. The lack of side dishes other than chawanmushi made the experience a bit lacking, so if I had a similar opportunity, I would prefer to go to "Kizuna Sushi" instead.

On a regular day, I arrived before 12 o'clock. There was no one lining up, but around 12:10, they said they could seat us soon, so we sat in chairs and waited. I ordered the recommended nigiri sushi today, and the seafood bowl. The nigiri sushi arrived in about 10 minutes, and I thought it was just okay. It wasn't as fresh or tasty as the sushi from the supermarket. The fish was a bit dark, and the seafood bowl had small toppings with a lot of rice. If asked if I would go back, I would probably say no. I prefer Triton or Midori for their overwhelmingly delicious sushi. They apparently also offer all-you-can-eat, but for this quality of sushi, Kizuna Sushi in Akihabara wins.

Hinazushi is famous for its high-end sushi buffet, but they also offer affordable lunch sushi at their location in the restaurant area of Yamada Denki in Ikebukuro. I ordered the "Lunch Nigiri 1.5 servings (1490 yen)", which comes with 15 assorted nigiri sushi pieces and miso soup. The sushi included popular toppings like tuna, squid, shrimp, and salmon, and overall it was a great value for lunch. Although the sushi pieces were a bit small and the presentation was mediocre, the freshness and taste of the toppings were excellent. The price was reasonable, and I was personally very satisfied with the meal. I look forward to trying their high-end sushi buffet next time.

I went to Hinazushi for the first time in a while. The all-you-can-eat option was around 4700 yen. I used to have a good impression of this place, but it had been getting a bit disappointing, so I hadn't been coming here as often. The ordering system is through a tablet, which is convenient. When the sushi arrived, I noticed that the rice portion was small! This is really great for an all-you-can-eat place. That alone deserves high praise. The fish quality was also good, maybe because it's winter. I might come back here again.

I visited Hinazushi at YAMADA DENKI LABI1 LIFE SELECT in Ikebukuro. They are popular for their sushi buffet, but their regular lunch options are also affordable. I tried the Hana Gozen set meal (¥1,529), which includes 7 pieces of sushi, tamagoyaki, chawanmushi, and miso soup. The sushi toppings were medium fatty tuna, shrimp, red snapper, sea urchin, conger eel, salmon, and scallop. It was just the right amount to satisfy my hunger. The chawanmushi and miso soup with wakame seaweed were surprisingly delicious. The atmosphere is similar to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, making it easy to enter. I think it's a good choice for lunch in Ikebukuro East Exit. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by here before transferring trains at Ikebukuro. It was a little past 2pm on a weekday and the restaurant wasn't too crowded. This place is known for its all-you-can-eat sushi, but I opted for the set lunch menu and ordered "1.5 servings" with wasabi. I was seated in a section where there were no other customers, probably separating those doing the all-you-can-eat from those who weren't. After waiting for about 13 minutes, the sushi was served. I usually only go to conveyor belt sushi restaurants, but when the sushi arrived on large, beautiful plates, it felt more authentic. Among the dishes, the fluffy egg roll was delicious, and the simmered abalone sushi had a great texture. The sushi pieces were a bit smaller, giving the impression of being part of an all-you-can-eat menu, but overall, they felt a bit higher in quality than the typical 100 yen sushi. The miso soup had a refined dashi flavor and was tasty. The attentive service from the waiter was impressive. I had a meal voucher for this restaurant, and I think the sushi here was satisfying. I hope Hinazushi opens a branch in Kansai where I live, so I can try the all-you-can-eat option there. Thank you for the meal!

My husband and I went there together. We ate a total of 93 pieces between the two of us, haha. The all-you-can-eat option had a good variety of sushi and was definitely worth a visit. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but it was probably because it was crowded when we went. My recommended items are the seared fatty salmon and the sea urchin with salmon roe. These were definitely worth trying! The medium fatty tuna that came out first was also delicious with its rich flavor. We left feeling full and satisfied. If you're looking for a slightly pricey all-you-can-eat sushi experience, I recommend considering this place!

On the 7th floor of LABI in Ikebukuro, there is a restaurant called Hina Sushi. This place offers a reasonably priced lunch option, which includes 10 pieces of nigiri sushi with miso soup for 980 yen. The rice portion is small and elegant. I love this kind of sushi. The seating is spacious, quiet, and relaxing. It seems that you can order the all-you-can-eat option using a tablet, which makes ordering easy and allows you to eat a lot. I would like to challenge the all-you-can-eat option next time. #lunch #sushi #Ikebukuro #Ikebukurolunch #Ikebukurofood #Ikebukurogourmet #Ikebukurosushi #lunchhunt #IkebukuroLABI #sushilunch #nigirisushi #IkebukuroHinaSushi #HinaSushiIkebukuro店

Everyone, let's have a blast today! I visited Hina Sushi at the 7th floor restaurant floor of Yamada Denki Nihon Sōhon-ten in Tokyo Ikebukuro East Exit. They offer a 90-minute all-you-can-eat option for 4,389 yen including tax. The restaurant had a few customers in the evening, mainly solo diners enjoying a variety of sushi. They offer a wide selection of sushi including sea urchin, salmon roe, herring roe, snow crab, and abalone. The all-you-can-eat concept seems appealing, with options like miso soup and tea available for refill. The ordering process is done via touch panel, and there is a limit of 20 items per order. The restaurant also offers daily recommendations like yellowtail sushi with yuzu on top, which was delicious. The portion sizes are smaller compared to traditional sushi counters, but still satisfying. The service was a bit slow, with a 15-minute wait between orders. Overall, Hina Sushi provides a good value for those looking to enjoy a variety of sushi in a limited time frame.

I went to a buffet in Ikebukuro. I remembered eating 100 pieces of sushi on paper when I was in college in Akasaka. Now, a colleague who claims to be a big eater went with me. It cost 4,400 yen, but if you choose the buffet, everyone has to do it. In conclusion, it's better to skip the buffet. The order time is only about 85 minutes, and you can only order 20 pieces at a time, which come slowly. With 85 minutes, you can only order 5 times, so the maximum is 100 pieces. If there are 2 people, you can barely manage 50 pieces. Big eaters may feel dissatisfied. I think it's better to just order a regular lunch set. I was satisfied with just ordering normally for 4,400 yen.

I felt like having some sushi, so I came here. Hinazushi is known for its all-you-can-eat menu, but they also offer a lunch menu. I ordered the "Lunch Nigiri 1.5 servings" and while waiting, I noticed a line forming outside the restaurant, indicating its popularity. The sushi served was on the smaller side, not just for lunch but in general. The toppings were thin, but I don't particularly like oversized toppings, so it was fine for me. The octopus was boiled octopus, the shrimp was made from Vannamei shrimp, and there were items like crow's gizzard shad and Russian mackerel from the sushi rice pack. The lineup was almost the same as a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but when served on a large plate, it felt more luxurious. Depending on the atmosphere of the restaurant and how it is presented, it can be a pleasant lunch experience. It may be uncouth to only talk about the toppings in such situations.

It's sushi. I really like sushi, so I eat it for both lunch and dinner. On this day, I had it for lunch on a holiday. I ordered the lunch set, of course... and a green tea highball. The sushi was small and elegant, and when I took a bite... delicious! It was a relaxing moment!

Due to the raging pandemic, I had been avoiding going to Tokyo, but I came back after a long time for some errands. I thought it would be empty, but there were already 8 people lined up just 5 minutes before opening. I got in 12 minutes after opening. The restaurant has changed a bit since it opened in October 30, 2009, with orders now being taken on tablets and some menu changes. The sushi selection remains the same, with 6 recommended items and 4 daily specials on the blackboard. Today's specials were Matsukasa spear squid, saury, and steamed oysters. The time limit is 2 hours, with last orders taken 30 minutes before closing. You can order up to 20 pieces of sushi, with the option to order just 1 piece. If you leave any sushi uneaten, it will cost 216 yen per piece. The first piece I tried was the limited Ezo abalone, which was small but had a good flavor and aroma. The sushi pieces were quite small, comparable to 100 yen sushi or even smaller, especially the battleship rolls which were about the size of 2 rolls. The sea urchin had a slight chemical smell, and the tuna seemed to be bluefin. It was nice to see the abalone on the menu. Overall, the quality of the sushi was average. I appreciated the variety of nigiri available, which included more than just tuna. The size of the nigiri seemed to increase when a new sushi chef took over. Although I could have eaten more, the increasing crowd and pressure of the crowd made me decide to leave. The restaurant was getting busier with people waiting in line, even more so than at opening time.

About 20 years ago, I first visited Hinazushi in Shinjuku with my friends. At that time, there were no 100 yen conveyor belt sushi restaurants like there are now, so when I ordered 20 pieces of Otoro and they arrived, I was so happy and moved. I always had a good image of Hinazushi, where you could eat high-quality sushi to your heart's content, despite the slightly high prices. Recently, by chance, my friend and I found out that there is also a Hinazushi in Ikebukuro, so we decided to go there for the first time in about 20 years. We planned to go for the all-you-can-eat luxury sushi experience, so we adjusted our meals the day before and had light meals on the day of the visit. We finished work, rushed home, and then headed to Ikebukuro on a cold day. We were a bit stingy and chose to go by motorcycle to save on parking fees. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was full and there was a line, which made our expectations even higher. After a while, we were called in and we ordered the all-you-can-eat option. The battle began, reminiscent of 20 years ago, and I tried to order 20 pieces of Otoro, but to my surprise, there was no Otoro. I thought to myself, "Was there no Otoro?" They had Chutoro, so I ordered 20 pieces of Chutoro instead. I prepared my mobile camera and eagerly awaited the arrival of the sushi. What came out was... Chutoro? Bintoro? I wasn't sure, but it tasted like the Bintoro I had tried at a 100 yen conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I finished the 20 pieces of Chutoro and before I knew it, my friend had already placed the next order. I wanted to order more, but following the rules of the restaurant, I ordered 20 pieces. I was hungry and wanted to eat quickly, but the next order took a while to arrive. However, since I was chatting with my friend, I didn't mind at first. The all-you-can-eat time was 2 hours, so I thought it would come eventually. But the slow service started to make me angry. My friend tried to calm me down, but I was getting more and more frustrated. I wanted to eat a lot with my stomach growling, but I was kept waiting with an empty stomach. The all-you-can-eat time was 90 minutes, so I calculated that if I ordered 5 rounds of 20 pieces each, it would total 100 pieces. I had ordered half of that, so I was short by 25 plates, and my stomach was still not full. I noticed that everyone around me was also not eating, they were waiting. It wasn't just me waiting. The whole restaurant was unable to serve the customers properly. When the last order announcement appeared on the tablet device, I couldn't help but complain. I was so angry that the sushi didn't taste good at all. The restaurant staff must have been working hard, the sushi chefs were diligently making sushi, and the servers were just standing around looking bored, which made me even more upset. After thinking about it, I realized that each order was limited to 20 pieces, so with two people, we could only eat 10 pieces per order. If there were four people, it would be reduced to 5 pieces each. If there were more people, it would be even less. The waiting time remained the same. The restaurant employees were not at fault. I wished the management would come out and apologize. I had adjusted my meals the day before and was looking forward to going back after 20 years, but I never expected to have such a bad experience. It was truly disappointing.

I want a 13-piece set. I wonder if this is what you get for this price. It's fun to be able to choose your favorites. I'd like them to make a set with thick slices of fish. It's nice that you can eat even if you miss lunchtime due to the location. I remember lining up at Hina Sushi in Shibuya in the old days.

I finished a small task in the morning, so I had some time to spare and decided to have lunch at 1:00 pm. I went from the underground shopping area to the LAVI7F dining floor. I tried to buy a digital thermometer on the way, but it was still out of stock. Most of the shops were empty as the peak hours had passed. I decided to go for the all-you-can-eat sushi option at a sushi restaurant. I started with a glass of draft beer and ordered one piece of mackerel sushi with pickled ginger as a snack. Unfortunately, the wifi didn't work. The ordering process was done by touching a board, and I forgot to press the confirmation button, so I had to start over. When my beer ran out, I ordered a highball and asked if I could switch to an all-you-can-drink option, which was allowed. I decided to have a little celebration by myself. The seats were spaced out, so I could relax and continue to eat slowly. I tried different types of sushi, but some were a bit disappointing due to the weak wasabi and loose rice. The seared sushi had a nice charred flavor. Overall, the sushi was good. The staff was friendly. Finally, I asked for a steamed egg custard and thanked them for the meal. The small celebration ended with me feeling full. It was interesting to leisurely spend 90 minutes there.
