Sushi Ishijima — Restaurant in Tokyo

I came in March 2023, but did not have time to write this post until now. On my first day to Tokyo, I passed by, because I lived close. It has always been my dream to have omakase sushi in Japan. I was really lucky that there was still a single spare spot that the sushi chef offered me, even though I did not have a reservation. Deeeeeliciouuuus! I got the most expensive omakase, which was 6000 Yen (6600 with service).

For my last meal in Tokyo, before rushing to the airport, I came here again. This time I got the other omakase on the menu (4000, i.e. 4400 Yen).

Very good food and very friendly chefs. I hope next time I can bring my family to check this place out. I also hope that by then I can converse in Japanese, sucht that the experience is even...

There were several foreign visitors on the day of my visit, but the head chef spoke fluent English, so I felt confident recommending this place to my friends...

Located in Ginza, Sushi Ishijima is hidden away in the less busy end of the city, across from a small park. The restaurant primarily offers sushi omakase, with some daily specials available to be ordered on the day.

I recommend that you make a booking well in advanced, and keep an eye out for promotions as sometimes they offer lunch specials at a discounted price compared to the dinners. Food wise, the rice had a balanced amount of vinegar and I extremely liked the prawn - so much roe, so sweet. For the area, good value for money for what you get. Will...
