みこ寿司本店 — Restaurant in Tokyo

This was without a doubt the best meal my wife and I had in Japan. We got the "Sea Urchin Paradise" meal, which was a full omikase with lots of excellent fish as well as a variety of uni (I didn't even know there was a variety of uni in the world!). We got to watch the chef make each nigiri by hand in front of us, and he told us in both English and Japanese what each piece was. It was a perfect small sushi shop atmosphere, down to earth while still being absolutely amazing food. You must find time to reserve a meal here, you won't regret it!

It's a little hard to find, being on the second floor of a small building and not clearly marked (at least not in English). I've included some pictures to help you find it. Also note that you can't get all-you-can-eat uni here, that's at the Ginza location, but this omikase is as much uni as we wanted plus a ton of...

I’ve travelled a lot. Specifically for omakase. This place has given me one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It is a small restaurant, but as soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the most welcoming smile. There was only 1 other couple joining my girlfriend and I during our experience, and I believe that the energy brought by the chef and waitress emitted through all of us. It did not matter that we did not speak Japanese— the energy spoke for itself. We laughed, we toasted, and we broke bread. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Now, in regards to our meal.. we ordered the Uni Paradise Coarse. We began our meal with the uni right off the bat! Such a powerful statement made immediately, followed by a delicious omakase consisting of a variety of fish, squid and eel! Come enjoy!...

Must come for uni lovers, they do the set course where you can try around 8 different types of uni at once so you can taste the difference and they explain everything really well. The nigiri in the set course was actually what blew me away, I went there for the uni but the regular nigiri was probably the best I've had in my life. Sake selection is also fantastic, tiny space so it's a bit cramped but that adds to the atmosphere and both the staff were so friendly and kind. Of course it's very expensive so it's not somewhere you can book freely but for an occasion or if you're a foodie I really recommend it, and I think it's very good...
