![[2018 Edition] 30 Must-Vist Sushi Restaurants in Tokyo](/gg/content_image/t0117_006_20180822090959.jpg)
This is a restaurant in Ningyo-cho, which flourished as a commerical area during the Edo period (1603 - 1867) and still retains that era's traditions and atmosphere to this day. The sushi served here is Edomae-zushi, made with the highest quality and freshest ingredients chosen by the head chef at Tsukiji Market every day. The ingredients are outstanding as they are, but are made even more flavorful by the efforts of the chef. One recommendation is the [Tokusen Nigiri], which is an assortment of nigiri-zushi that is perfect for savoring the flavors realized by Edomae-zushi cooking techniques. There is also a wide selection of a la carte dishes, such as the tender [Grilled Anago] that has been grilled to perfection.

26. Sushi Shokunin Hatano Yoshiki
Despite being committed to Edomae-zushi*, this restaurant also serves playful side dishes that incorporate French and Italian techniques. The menu consists of courses that center around nigiri-zushi (hand formed sushi), and is based on the tenant of Edomae-zushi where "the finest ingredients are marinated in salt and vinegar and left to ferment". The gari (ginger pickled in a sweet vinegar), served as a palette cleanser, is cut into cubes here rather than the standard thin slices. It is made carefully by hand with organic ginger, and is so good that it can be enjoyed as a dish in its own right.
*A type of sushi that originated from Edo (old name for Tokyo) and traditionally was made with fish from Tokyo Bay (previously called Edo Bay). The ingredients are often prepared by marinating in vinegar, salt, or soy sauce, and the rice tends to have a lighter flavor than the sushi in the Kansai region. The fish used in Edomae-zushi also tends to be slightly different from the fish used in Kansai sushi.

![[2018 Edition] 30 Must-Vist Sushi Restaurants in Tokyo](/gg/content_image/t0117_010_20180822094310.jpg)
This popular restaurant opened in Shinjuku, an area long considered difficult to operate a good sushi restaurant at, in 2012. The sushi here is made in the style of the famous Tokyo sushi restaurant, Sushi Sho, which consists of serving bite-sized sushi and a la carte dishes alternately. This style was developed to allow customers to take their time and enjoy their meals together with sake. The ingredients of the nigiri-zushi change by the season, but one example is the trout, whose flavor has been enhanced by searing. The [Bara Chirashi] (a bowl with sushi toppings served on vinegared rice), of which there are only 10 bowls available each weekday at lunchtime, is another popular menu item with many fans.

29. Kizushi (Ningyo-cho)
![[2018 Edition] 30 Must-Vist Sushi Restaurants in Tokyo](/gg/content_image/t0117_020_20180822095455.jpg)
Having opened in 1923, this restaurant has been preserving the tradition of Edomae-zushi for almost 100 years. The sushi is prepared with traditional Edomae methods, resulting in dishes where the natural flavors of the ingredients shine through. Examples of this include clams and conger eel that are simmered until soft and shrimp with oboro* sandwiched inside. The rice is flavored just with white and red vinegar and salt, enhancing the natural sweetness of the rice. This is a special restaurant where one can try luxurious Edomae-zushi that very few chefs can prepare, such as the [Teami-maki] - mid-sized spotted sardine marinated in vinegar and shrimp cooked in a sauce layered alternately.
*Minced shirmp meat that's been flavored and roasted. It has a slightly sweet flavor. It is tradition in Edomae-zushi to sandwich it between the rice and topping of nigiri-zushi.

![[2018 Edition] 30 Must-Vist Sushi Restaurants in Tokyo](/gg/content_image/t0117_018_20180822095228.jpg)
This is a restaurant that is highly rated by many food aficionados. Within its calm and comfortable atmosphere, why not enjoy a variety of Edomae-zushi made without cutting any corners? The available ingredients change by the season, but the [Hon-Maguro From Kishu Katsuura] is one particular recommendation. The tuna is marbled so beautifully that it looks like Wagyu (a type of high-quality beef)! It is characterized by a rich flavor, followed by a light aftertaste. The [Blood Clam From Yuriage in Miyagi Prefecture], famed to be the best in Japan, is also popular. One bite into the plump clam sends a burst of flavor that fills the mouth.
