Ajuta

Ajuuda is a sushi restaurant located in a quiet corner of Udagawacho, past Shibuya Station through the Scramble Crossing and Center Gai. On the basement level of ARISTO Shibuya, it offers a two seating dinner counter and one fully private room limited to a single room.

The interior, which incorporates natural materials and hinoki (Japanese cypress), has a refined and comfortable atmosphere.

The only thing you can enjoy here is the Omakase course, packed with 7 appetizers and 12 pieces of nigiri, all showing the chef’s careful attention to detail.

It is well known for top class sushi by the head chef, who trained at a famous restaurant and blends Edomae (old style Tokyo) techniques with modern skill.

They change how they fillet, cook, and prepare each fish based on the characteristics of Special fish sourced from across Japan, bringing out the best in each ingredient.

For the shari (vinegared sushi rice), an essential part of sushi, they use their own blended rice along with 4 kinds of vinegar and 2 kinds of salt, showing real attention to detail.

食べムロ

Aeta-san’s way of thinking and passion for sushi are wonderful, always willing to embrace change in order to keep evolving. Rather than using unusual ideas just for effect, each approach is carefully matched to the ingredient in the pinneta (single-piece sushi topping), so I could enjoy original sushi that felt natural and tasted great.

This restaurant serves sashimi (raw fish slices) and sushi with carefully selected seasonings, offering a range of detailed combinations for each dish and bringing out the best match every time. This may have been the first time I genuinely enjoyed soy sauce outside and thought it was delicious. Of course, everything was great.

Sushi Risaki

Sushi Toshizaki is a well-known restaurant in the Oku-Shibu area, stretching toward Yoyogi beyond the bustle of Shibuya Station.

Dinner is served in two seatings with a 2.5-hour time limit. In addition to this location, Sushi Toshizaki has sister restaurants in Aoyama, Ebisu, and Nishi-Azabu.

While valuing the Edomae-zushi (Edo-style sushi) techniques passed down through generations, you can enjoy sushi that shows off each restaurant’s own character.

They serve sushi that brings out the best in both the seafood, chosen with a professional eye, and the shari (sushi rice), carefully adjusted in details like topping size and temperature.

They say the ingredients start with carefully chosen water, with the chefs even going all the way to the foothills of Mt. Fuji to draw famous spring water from the area.

The menu offers only an Omakase nigiri course, and it is known not only for sushi made with seasonal seafood that is carefully prepped with no shortcuts and shari (sushi rice) with just the right firmness and balance of vinegar and salt, but also for excellent a la carte dishes (tsumami).

まるまるグルメ

First came the o-toro (fatty tuna). It was my first time trying it. After that, one special dish after another kept coming. The fried dishes and grilled dishes were excellent. Once the special dishes were finished, the meal ended with a lineup of sushi. Of course the toppings were fresh, but I also want you to try the firmness of the shari (sushi rice). The way it loosened in the mouth was something special.

beyond139

Even though an acquaintance said they were a regular, they told me reservations were already only available six months out, so I went in with high expectations. The food was every bit as good as the rumors said, and I really liked not only the quality of the toppings but also the firmness of the shari (sushi rice) and the balance of the seasoned rice vinegar. The toro-taku maki (fatty tuna and pickled daikon roll) at the end had a nice popping texture and was very tasty.

Sushi Hanaoka Shibuya

Sushi Hanaoka Shibuya is known not only for its delicious sushi, but also for its excellent selection of Japanese sake from around the country and Japanese wine to enjoy with it.

At Sushi Hanaoka Shibuya, sushi and dishes made with unusual fish and regional ingredients are well regarded, and you can discover the fun of fish and new kinds of appeal.

The sushi is prepared in the best style for the day, free from fixed conventions.

They mostly serve unusual fish, but none of them have any hard-to-eat qualities or distinctive flavors in a bad way—they are all genuinely delicious! They make the most of each fish’s character, and their aging technique is excellent, so every item has a strong umami taste! The ones that stood out the most were these↓・ei (ray) liver・basho kajiki (striped marlin)・maruhira aji (horse mackerel). They also have a wide selection of alcohol, including many drinks you can only have here.

They serve each piece with akazu (red vinegar) and season it with a tare sauce or light prep that suits each fish. There are more than enough kinds of sushi toppings as well. The akami (lean tuna) had such great bite and texture that it was hard to believe it was the same fish! I especially liked the shiromi (white fish). From its size to its rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture and the fish’s own good flavor, I especially liked the shiromi.

Namikibashi Sushi Ichi

Namikibashi Sushi Hajime is a hideaway sushi restaurant on the first basement floor of a building, with a focus on fresh seasonal seafood, rice, and akazu (red vinegar).

At the counter, you can watch the chefs' skilled work up close. Reviews also said that chatting with the knowledgeable taisho (head chef) was a lot of fun.

The shari (sushi rice) is made with Koshihikari rice from Fukushima Prefecture. They adjust the amount of water and cooking time depending on the season, then cook it a little firm in a hagama (traditional featherweight-style iron pot).

For the vinegar, they use an original red vinegar from Ichibai-zu in Ehime Prefecture, made from sake lees aged for more than ten years.

The sushi is said to have an exquisite balance between rich akazu (red vinegar) and Special seafood.

The most popular course is the dinner “Omakase Nigiri Course.” There is also a pairing course unique to Japan, where you can enjoy sushi with Japanese sake selected by the head chef.

よしぞう1103

The akazu (red vinegar) sushi rice had an exquisite melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the salt seasoning had great balance and punch. It had been a long time since I had sushi with such good harmony. The seasonal fish and small plates made the most of the lingering late-summer heat. It was the kind of time that made me look forward to coming back in autumn to see how they would delight me once the weather turned cool.

ハーマイオニー

The fatty sanma (Pacific saury) and shuto are perfect snacks to go with Japanese sake. They also had awabi (abalone), which I do not usually eat, and it made the meal feel very luxurious. The balance between nigiri and otsumami (small dishes to pair with drinks) was great, and the pace at which the dishes were served felt just right, so the drinks went down easily.

The shari (seasoned sushi rice) has a clear, mellow acidity, and each grain stands out nicely. The temperature is just right, and you can see careful work throughout that brings out the best in each ingredient. The Omakase selection of Japanese sake was also good, and being able to choose your ochoko (small sake cup) is a subtle but welcome touch♪ And the chef, with his calm and lovely smile, is charming too♡

They take great care with the nigiri, using two kinds of shari (sushi rice) depending on the topping. The balance between the topping and the shari feels just right, and the chutoro (medium fatty tuna) and anago (conger eel) were especially outstanding. The seasonal specialties are also vibrant, bringing out the full flavor of fish at its seasonal best. The taisho (head chef) has a gentle manner, and being able to enjoy conversation at just the right distance is part of the appeal.

Sushi Naoki

Located about a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station, Sushi Naoki is a popular spot where you can enjoy excellent Edomae sushi in a modern space with a traditional Japanese feel, made with ingredients carefully selected through a trained eye.

The fresh seafood sourced from Toyosu Market features a lineup that lets you feel the season, and reviews say that no matter how many times you visit, it still feels like a fresh experience. The tuna served in the course meal is prepared with a process called hagashi, and it is said to melt in your mouth.

The shari (sushi rice), blended with akazu (red vinegar) and rice vinegar, is said to have a sharp, clean tang.

To serve it in the best condition, they cook the rice according to when customers arrive and control its temperature as well.

I visited over the New Year holiday. It was delicious. As always, if you want to enjoy nigiri sushi, this is the place. They serve about 15 or 16 pieces, so make sure you arrive properly hungry. The shari (sushi rice) has real character. The neta (sushi toppings) stand up to it well. If you like boldly seasoned shari, I think this will suit you. The maguro no hagashi (scraped tuna) and sujime iwashi (vinegared sardine) are irresistible.

I happened to visit while temporarily back in Japan from overseas, and it was truly delicious and excellent. Everything was well balanced, but personally I really liked the shari (sushi rice). Even though I had plenty to eat, I still wanted just a little more and ended up placing an extra order.

In the course menu, you can enjoy not only nigiri (hand-formed sushi) but also dishes that highlight seasonal flavors.

All you can drink includes a lineup of Japanese sake, Japanese whisky, wine, and more. The Japanese sake selection mainly features dry and fragrant labels with a clean finish that pair well with sushi.

This time I had the course menu, and the hassun platter, the Appetizers, and of course the nigiri were all delicious. I also enjoyed the drinks, from beer to hire-zake (hot sake with grilled puffer fin). They also have non-alcoholic beer, so even people who do not like alcohol can enjoy it. I was surprised that you can get sushi like this in this area of Shibuya.

Every piece of nigiri (hand-formed sushi) is a just-right size, and each one really shows the quality of the topping. The shari (sushi rice) is not too soft and is shaped with perfect balance, giving it a pleasant feel as it gently falls apart in your mouth. The anago (conger eel) nigiri had a light texture with the savory aroma of the sauce spreading through it, making it one especially memorable piece. Another nice point is the wide All you can drink lineup.

Reviews say they have a wide selection of Japanese sake, and that you can drink it from beautiful, delicate Edo Kiriko (cut glass) ochoko (small sake cups).

I had the dinner Omakase course! The tsuke maguro (marinated tuna), ika (squid), and kuruma ebi (Japanese tiger prawn) were especially good. The nigiri were bite-sized, making them easy to eat. The small dishes, such as the tsukidashi (small appetizer), were also tasty, and they have a wide selection of drinks, so this is a sushi place where you can enjoy eating while you drink. Even though it is conveniently close to Shibuya Station, the restaurant spreading out underground has a calm atmosphere.

It’s on the first basement floor of the building, so don’t get lost. I chose the uni (sea urchin) tasting course. I love uni. For drinks, I had beer, then 3 go of Japanese sake, and about 3 cups of green tea high. I felt like the timing of when they served the sushi matched well with the Japanese sake. There was quite a lot of food, and it was tasty. I added an order of toro-taku (fatty tuna and pickled daikon roll) and that was the finish.

Shibuya Sushi Labo

Located just off Mitake-dori, "Shibuya Sushi Labo" has a Japanese style with a bright shiraki (unfinished white wood) counter that gives the place an upscale feel.

It is a sushi restaurant with no stuffy atmosphere, where you can relax and enjoy your meal and conversation.

Tsumoto-shiki (Tsumoto-style) aged sushi is well known here. It uses a technique called “kyukyoku no chinuki” (ultimate blood draining), which is said to bring out more of the flavor and depth of the seafood.

It is served in both lunch and dinner courses.

Along with aged sushi, they also serve "new" Edomae-zushi (Edo-style sushi) made with modern techniques. The restaurant is said to offer toppings with rich umami and seafood with a nice bite that shows off its freshness.

The shari (sushi rice) is also high quality, and you can see the restaurant's attention to detail in the way the acidity comes through and how each piece is formed.

ナッツ1972

Because it was jukusei-zushi (aged sushi), the flavor of the fish felt especially deep. The toro and uni were particularly delicious and melted away in an instant. I also had several other kinds, including tai (sea bream) and isaki (grunt), and every piece was great, from the topping and shari (sushi rice) itself to the way it was formed, gently melting in the mouth and showing the sushi chef’s skill. This time I visited for lunch, so next time I’d like to order the dinner course.

KINKA sushi bar izakaya Shibuya

KINKA sushi bar izakaya Shibuya is a sushi restaurant on the second floor of a fashion building in the Shibuya Koendori area, where you can enjoy not only sushi but also washoku (Japanese cuisine)-based tapas and drinks.

The stylish interior is a space where even solo diners can enjoy good food and drinks, making it easy to stop by casually.

The signature item is “KINKA Meibutsu Aburi-zushi (KINKA’s Signature Seared Sushi),” where the toppings are seared with a torch. It is served in the traditional Japanese oshizushi (pressed sushi) style, made by layering the ingredients and pressing them into shape from above.

Seared this way, the fat in the toppings melts slightly and gains a nice toasty aroma, making it very tasty.

A popular option here is the menu that lets you enjoy both nigiri sushi made with seasonal ingredients and aburi sushi (seared sushi).

There are several kinds of aburi sushi, including the homemade sauce item “salmon and aioli sauce” and “shime saba (cured mackerel) and Saikyo miso (Kyoto-style sweet miso)” with a garlic miso sauce, and you can also enjoy them in a course menu.

t0m0_0808...

This time, I had the 10-piece aburi (seared) sushi set. The nice toasted aroma that only aburi brings stood out, and it brought out even more of the topping’s flavor, making it feel very Manzoku for lunch. The balance with the shari (sushi rice) was also good, and I really enjoyed each piece. It is easy to drop in, but the taste is still the real deal. This is a place I would like to stop by again when I want a slightly fancy sushi lunch in Shibuya.

Of course the standard sushi was good, but I also really enjoyed the aburi-zushi (seared sushi) they recommend here.

The "jika-sei ni-anago (house-made simmered conger eel)" has a soft, tender texture and is said to melt in your mouth.

Along with authentic sushi shaped right in front of you by skilled chefs, they also offer dishes that pair well with drinks, so you can enjoy them with Japanese sake or whisky too.

First up was the chutoro nigiri (medium fatty tuna hand-formed sushi) from Yamayuki. Paired with akazu (red vinegar) rice, it was unbelievably good. We tried all sorts of things, and of course there were no misses. The kujira nigiri (whale hand-formed sushi) had a nostalgic taste for people our age. I had not eaten it in a long time, but it really is like meat. It was delicious.

The hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) had fine knife cuts worked into it, and the flavor had really settled in there, which made me think, this is exactly the kind of Edomae (Tokyo-style sushi) craftsmanship you hope for. The firm shari (sushi rice) with rich akazu (red vinegar) made it excellent! The nori on the gunkan was crisp, fragrant, and popped nicely, then in an instant the rich flavor and sweetness of uni (sea urchin) spread through the mouth, followed by the deep taste of the akazu shari at the end!!

They offer courses that highlight the seasonality of sushi and kaiseki (traditional Japanese course cuisine), with several plans to choose from including lunch and the "All you can drink Dinner Omakase Course."

Sushi eaten while watching the chef’s professional knife skills and technique over the counter is popular because it feels Special and tastes great.

The sushi made by the head chef, who trained hard at well-known restaurants, is high quality, and he is said to shape each piece after judging the best time to eat it.

You can enjoy seasonal neta (sushi toppings) that are carefully selected after daily visits to the market. The shari (sushi rice) uses akazu (reddish-brown vinegar made by aging sake lees), a basic element of Edomae-zushi (Tokyo-style sushi).

From soy sauce and wasabi to nori (seaweed), they serve only items approved by the head chef.

Visited for lunch. This is a sushi restaurant with a calm atmosphere, and this time I had 9 kinds of nigiri (hand-formed sushi). Every topping was fresh, and the shari (sushi rice) had just the right temperature and texture, showing careful work in each piece. The shiromi (white fish) and hikarimono (silver-skinned fish) in particular stood out, bringing out the full flavor of the ingredients.

Sushi Aukai

Sushi Kai is a sushi restaurant on the basement level down a back alley off Miyamasuzaka, about a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station. You can enjoy Yamagata's local dishes, local sake, and Edomae-zushi (Edo-style sushi).

Hip-hop plays comfortably through the calm Japanese-style space, creating a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere.

With the course, you can enjoy fresh seafood sourced from the Toyosu Market wholesaler Yamakou Group.

This is nigiri topped with ten'nen hon-maguro (wild Pacific bluefin tuna) from Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture. With seafood from Special production regions and a great balance with the shari (seasoned sushi rice), it offers a top-class taste with the rich flavor of toro (fatty tuna) as well.

This is one dish from the restaurant’s top recommended course, the “All Inclusive Course.” It is the “Yamagata no Dashi Futomaki (Toro),” a specialty that brings together a local dish from Yamagata Prefecture and Edomae-zushi (Edo-style sushi).

Another draw is the All you can drink option with 30 varieties, where you can also enjoy Japanese sake from Yamagata.

It was a luxurious place, and I had a great time. Even though it is in Shibuya, it had a calm atmosphere. The toppings were fresh and satisfying. The tuna in particular was excellent. The shrimp was also delicious. I would like to make another reservation and visit again.

Although the restaurant is located in the basement of a building, it has high ceilings, and the interior is styled in a chic Japanese modern look with wood and concrete.

The "hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) futomaki (thick sushi roll)" is this restaurant's signature dish, and its hearty look alone builds excitement.

It is cut into large pieces, and people say the rich fat and filling portion make it very satisfying. You can also add ikura (salmon roe) or uni (sea urchin) as a topping for an extra charge.

At this restaurant, where you can casually enjoy fresh seafood, the authentic nigiri sushi is also recommended, with assortments and A la carte options available.

They also offer a wide selection of Japanese sake specially chosen from around Japan, Japan's oldest gin and tonic, and Japanese whisky. They pair well with the seafood and other dishes, so you can enjoy them together.

What stood out most was the honmaguro futomaki (fat sushi roll with bluefin tuna), one of the shop’s signature items. The sheer volume is impressive right away. Inside the large futomaki, it is packed to the brim with honmaguro and takuan (pickled daikon), making it the height of luxury. The honmaguro was rich with fat and had a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness that made it absolutely delicious!

The maguro (tuna) thick sushi roll is a must order! They also have a wide variety of tempura, including some unusual items! It was great that we could enjoy so many different kinds. This was a lovely izakaya where you can enjoy pairings of Japanese sake and fish. I’d like to visit again.

Sushi no Ikumi

Sushi no Ikumi is a sushi restaurant about a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station, tucked away on a side street off Miyamasuzaka, and it is said to be particular about using natural ikejime fresh fish.

They also have a wide selection of Japanese sake, shochu, and Japanese whisky. The seating includes counter seats, fully private room, and table seating.

This is a plate that shows off the chef’s skill, lined with akami (lean tuna), shiromi (white fish), and shiny fish like aji (horse mackerel) and iwashi (sardine). The sushi toppings use seasonal wild fish caught that morning and sourced ikejime (a Japanese fish dispatching method), making the most of their freshness.

You can take your time and enjoy the hospitality shaped by the owner’s many years of experience and the delicate flavors.

You can enjoy sushi either as a course meal or à la carte.

The shari (sushi rice) is kept small to bring out the flavor of the seafood and pair well with sake. They cook Koshihikari rice in a kama (traditional pot), use akazu (red vinegar) and komezu (rice vinegar) depending on the type of fish, and are known for their perfect grip when forming each piece.

Each piece is carefully prepared with the day’s seasonal best, and the shari (sushi rice) is small and light, bringing out the flavor of the toppings. There is something very satisfying about going with the flow of seasonal ingredients, especially rich fresh fish and fragrant shellfish.

If you are having sushi here, the counter is the way to go! You can take the freshly made sushi right from the chef's hand and pop it straight into your mouth. Ah, freshly made really tastes the best. The sushi is of course delicious, but the chef's creative dishes, like gari (pickled ginger) kohada (gizzard shad) roll and sashimi-style buri (Japanese amberjack) daikon radish, also look great and taste great.

Shibuya Sushi Sublime TOKYO

"Shibuya Sushi Sublime TOKYO" is a sushi restaurant on the 4th floor of a building near the entrance to Shibuya Station's Center-gai. It is said to be a one-of-a-kind Shibuya spot where you can dine while viewing digital art created with teamLab's latest technology.

In sharp contrast to the bustle of Center-gai, you can enjoy authentic Edomae-zushi (traditional Tokyo-style sushi) in the calm interior.

At the stylish counter seats with digital art, you can enjoy sushi just shaped by the chefs.

This fresh dining experience, where Edomae-zushi (Tokyo-style sushi) passed down over many years meets the latest modern technology, is said to be popular.

The chef mainly serves top quality natural seafood in course meals, including seasonal items selected at the market.

The shari (sushi rice) uses red vinegar, letting you enjoy its balance with the toppings. Beyond the sushi itself, you can feel the careful attention in every item, from premium nori (seaweed) from Ariake to Special wasabi.

The akazu (red vinegar) rice brings out the flavor of the toppings, and the balance is also excellent, gently falling apart the moment it hits your mouth. In a space where you can enjoy authentic sushi without feeling formal, the staff’s manner and service were also very pleasant✨

I had sushi at Suburimu. The balance between the neta (toppings) and shari (sushi rice) was great, and the toppings were rich with fat, sweet, and satisfying to eat! Personally, my favorites were the very first hirame (flounder), kinmedai (golden eye snapper), and anago (conger eel)^^ The uni (sea urchin) and ikura (salmon roe) rolled sushi was also a very rich and luxurious combination!

Sushi Ichikan

This sushi restaurant is about a 7-minute walk from the New South Exit of Shibuya Station and relocated from a Daikanyama shop that had been in business for about 38 years. It has continued to be loved even after changing its name to Sushi Ichikan.

In addition to counter seating, the restaurant offers table seating and a fully private room with Sunken kotatsu seating.

You can order by course or à la carte. This is the popular nigiri of zuke maguro (marinated tuna) served as part of the course. The flavor of the wasabi is nice as well.

The balance of the tuna, well marinated in sauce, and the wasabi is said to be spot on, with a taste so good that once you try it, you will want it again and again.

Anago (conger eel) is also one of the popular toppings. It has a soft, gentle texture, and its sweetness is said to spread across the palate.

There are two seasoning options: simple salt that brings out the ingredient’s natural flavor, and tare (sweet soy-based sauce) that adds more depth. Many people order both.

I was impressed that I could casually enjoy sushi à la carte and that everything tasted so good. I definitely want to go back and eat there again!!The isobeyaki (grilled with soy sauce and wrapped in seaweed), negitoro (minced fatty tuna with green onion), torotaku (fatty tuna and takuan pickles), and sashimi dishes were all delicious one by one, and they got me hooked on sushi.

Of course, the Omakase is great, but it is also fun to choose from the list of toppings the taisho (head chef) shows you. I also thought it was really nice that they could handle adjustments, like adding extra wasabi to the kanpyo (dried gourd roll). I recommend it because both the counter seats and the Private room with Sunken kotatsu seating are very enjoyable.
