Sushi Fukumaru — Restaurant in Tokyo

I'm not a sushi connoisseur but this was delicious and clearly high quality. Watching the chef do his magic was impressive. As I walked in, the lady tried to tell me they were fully reserved (clearly not, seems it is just a trick some of the local places in Tokyo use to scare off foreigners 😅) but I think she read the "I need sushi NOW" in my sad eyes and called the young sous chef to help out, he spoke great English and invited me to sit down. In the end, it was a pleasant and memorable experience. I even got a compliment on my chopstick handling skills from another guest 😁 They have a 3.500 yen set, or 400/500 a piece sushi you can pick from 5 pieces up. Very local, very tasty, very high quality...

It’s a local restaurant close to Kameido Tenjin Shrine. There is no English menu though but the chef and staffs are also very nice and you can do google translate or just order the sushi/ sashimi set lol. Recommend 上にぎり( nigiri sushi set) and あん肝monkfish liver. I have had monkfish liver back in United state and I have to say they are completely different, the texture of liver here is like dessert/ice cream....

Best sushi I ever had, by far!

Lovely staff and place.

Had the chance to practice a few words in japanese with some locals who had just eaten.

A mister (let's call him : Mister San) was kind enough to pay my bill :O

I had no words to thank him enough in japanese... Thanks again Mister San, and thanks to the chef for such an amazing plate...
