Nemuro Hanamaru Standing Sushi Bar Kinshicho Termina — Restaurant in Tokyo

This standing sushi bar at Kinshicho Station is one of Tokyo’s best-kept secrets. Operated by Nemuro Hanamaru, known for Hokkaido seafood, the quality here rivals high-end omakase—but at a fraction of the price. Even if you go all out, you’re likely spending only around ¥4,000 per person. That’s for a full stomach of pristine, thick-cut sushi made to order right in front of you.

The seafood is exceptionally clean and fresh, with a lineup that includes everything from melt-in-your-mouth chutoro to seasonal local catches. The chef is warm, welcoming, and happy to walk you through recommendations if you’re unsure. There’s an English menu available, and the service is fast but never rushed.

While it doesn’t offer the fancy ambiance of a full-service omakase, the value is unbeatable. It’s standing-only, so expect a quick, casual experience. That said, the sushi here easily competes with more formal spots charging 4–5x more for similar cuts, just with a few less premium ingredients.
