Takara Sushi — Restaurant in Misawa

This is the best sushi I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious. No conveyor belts or California rolls here at all, just fresh, quality sushi.

The sashimi I bought was think, flavorful and absolutely tender. There was no fishy taste to it at all. I don't venture out into much else but there are certainly options available if you're into the more unique types of sushi. They even have live seafood in the tank for you to choose from, including a king crab.

I really felt like this place encompasses what you would expect Japan to be. It wasn't flashy, but felt totally traditional and had a totally great ambiance inside.

The chef seemed to be diligently working the entire time preparing dishes for another section of the restaurant that appeared to be a private dining room. I was interested in the he was making and he told me about the kinds of fish he was preparing.

Definitely a must if you like sushi and sitting on the floor in a classic...

I’ve been here for 3yrs and in the beginning I went only a few times. Now as I’m leaving, I have a new found appreciation and respect for Takara Sushi. Having gone to so many sushi restaurants worldwide and in Japan as it is my go-to food, I can honestly say it’s worth it. By far the BEST sushi restaurant in Misawa (as a former Hamas girl don’t hate me, but it doesn’t compare to here). The chefs and staff are super friendly, and even brighten your day by “gifting you”. I can honestly say, I’ve never tried a live shrimp 🦐 before, but it was definitely an experience I will never forget and super yummy I just waited for it to die lol The portions are large, quality amazing so the price (around $11-18) feels so worth it! This is the type of sushi that’s gonna have you reminiscing because it’s so fresh and down right amazing. If I could give 10 stars I would, absolutely gonna miss...

Hands down the best sushi in Misawa! I have been there numerous times, and my only complaint is that they had a more extensive English menu. I saw things being created by the sushi chef which were definitely NOT on the English menu. For example, once I sat at the sushi bar and saw the chef preparing a live lobster. The tentacles were still twitching when it went out to the table, that's how fresh it was. He saw my interest, and before I knew what was happening, he reached over the sushi bar and put a piece of the lobster in front of me to try. It was incredible! Please don't go to this restaurant if you intend to be a loud, obnoxious American just seeking the "Fear Factor Sushi" experience. It is too high...
