This place was a chance find since our airbnb was close by, and we came late in the afternoon at around 3pm so the wait was only 15mins. BUT WOW this was seriously the best sushi we have had in our whole 13 day Japan trip. The sushi was so fresh and handmade in front of you moments before you eat. The prices were unbelievably cheap too, and you can custom order your sushi plate (starts from 50JPY per piece?!???!). We ate until we were full and make no mistake we came into this restaurant starved, yet we only paid 2,200JPY between TWO PEOPLE (which was $12.50AUD average for each person) for a highly affordable version of an omakaze basically. Please try this if you’re ever in Tokyo! Ikebukuro is only a few stops away on the Yamemote JR line and you can find the shop underground in Echika. It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t give this more than 5 stars! Enjoy!!

7 years ago it was a tiny basic sushi bar run by 4 sushi chefs selling top grade sushi from 120 yen per piece. Now owned by the Midori Sushi chain, the size remains the same with about 8 seats. However. they've upped the game with a bigger selection of sushi, installed individual electronic order screens for each seat, choice of soup, drinks and a staff to man the people. They've also taken over the adjacent sushi takeaway, so those not having time to queue can grab meals. I also noticed that the chef change with each shift. Pricier but the long queues have now formed and do not abate. After 3 tries, I went at open time, still had to wait half an hour but managed to get in. I just went to town! It was worth it! My favourite was white bait and minced tuna sashimi.

Quality sushi at reasonable prices! The toro tuna and salmon are so good. Even the regular salmon is delicious and melts in your mouth 🤤. This restaurant is super tiny and there are no chairs. There are two tiny tables that each accommodate 2 people and 5 spots at the bar, which means a maximum of 9 people can be served at a time. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait for long. Only about 15 minutes in a Tuesday night. Ordering is done through a tablet at your take. All of it is in Japanese. By default, most of the sushi come with a smidge of wasabi, so make sure to modify your order if you don’t like it. The sushi chefs are quick and when you’re done eating, you pay outside and they accept credit cards! This was a pretty fun and delicious experience.

This is the best sushi place I've ever been.....price is so reasonable and the food is awesome....the best is the otoro,aburi-toro and aburi-engawa....those are the top 3 i keep ordering....definitely its a must if you are in Ikebukuro....the wait is worth it...shop is a stand up location....it is close to exit C6 across from the supermarket....if you are coming from the station it is on your left and if you are coming from the stairs it is on the right side...last shop from the station and the 1st shop on the stairs ...they have an English menu so it makes it easier to order if you are not a Japanese speaker....i highly recommend this sushi place....good atmosphere and friendly staff....

How to find: Head underground at Echika Ikebukuro and walk to exit 6. It's hidden somewhere near the exit's staircase. If you're looking for decent sushi on a budget, this place can't be beat. Midori Sushi has a 500 yen sushi lunch set from 11am to 3pm on weekdays, and there were quite a lot of people in line waiting to order the set. The shop seats ~10pax so be prepared to wait. You can also order also carte sushi (ask for the English/picture menu) but the lunch sets get pushed out much faster, so be prepared to wait a while even if you order one nigiri sushi.

Best kept secret in Tokyo! Fresh fresh sushi lunch for 500 JPY until 3pm. We went at 2:30pm and the wait was only 10 minutes. I’ve waited over an hour there at normal meal times before. Sushi is so cheap, almost cheaper than the Kantei type but the quality is way better. Photo menu available! Hard to find, in an underground mall called “Echika” connected to Ikebukuro also near BIC Camera. TLDR - cheap sushi high quality. If you don’t want the long wait just grab the pre made boxes to go!
