Kisushi — Restaurant in Tokyo

After spending three months in Japan I can honestly say that the Sushi at Kisushi is not only the best Sushi I had during my entire stay but also the best food overall - and there are a lot of strong contenders. The quality and freshness of the ingredients, the relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the skill of the chef all come together to create a unique dining experience you won't forget any time soon.

To top it off, the value you get for your money is outstanding. I've been to places a lot more expensive and none of them served better Sushi. Do take note though that this is not a cheap restaurant, depending on what and how much you eat you can expect to shell out 5000yen or more, while a smaller dinner for 2000yen is also possible. The chef speaks excellent English and cares about serving what you like, so feel free to ask beforehand. Whatever you end up ordering though, you'll definitely get your money's worth!

I didn't mind to pay more, but I took it seriously if I didn't get the best I could get. You want me to visit the second time to order? Sorry, but I'd rather not...

a really local spot close to Todai. we ordered the Omakase set and just let the chef serve us his recommendations after. We were seated close to regulars and asked for the dishes that were served to them too. The nihonshu choices were impeccable, the fish so beautifully fresh and delicate. i had an amazing evening here.

the anago changed my life - never had anago melt in my mouth that way before. Also tried the negitoro maki - I’ve had negitoro multiple times in my 5 years living in Japan but NEVER have I had one so fresh, creamy, and bursting with flavour. service was great and would recommend. Not cheap, but you’ll have...
