During my recent trip to Tokyo, I had the pleasure of experiencing one of the city’s hidden culinary gems: a sushi standing bar. This unique dining experience has become one of my favorites, offering not just delicious food but also a glimpse into the authentic, fast-paced lifestyle of Tokyoites.

The atmosphere at the sushi standing bar was vibrant and bustling. Unlike traditional sushi restaurants where you sit down, this bar required patrons to stand while enjoying their meal. This setup added a dynamic and lively feel to the experience, making it perfect for a quick yet satisfying bite.

The sushi itself was exceptional. Each piece was crafted with precision and care, showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The chefs prepared the sushi right in front of you with their bare hands, handing each piece to you as soon as it was ready. This personalized service added a special touch, allowing you to order directly with the chefs while standing and watch as they made each piece...

I stopped by Uogashi Nihon ichi at Shinagawa Station and was seriously impressed. It’s a standing sushi bar, so it’s super convenient if you’re catching a train or just want a quick but quality bite. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and you can see the chefs preparing everything right in front of you. I had a few different pieces, but the grilled salmon belly and the toro were absolute standouts. Buttery, flavorful, and just melted in my mouth.

Even though it was busy, the service was fast and polite. The staff made it easy to order, and they had an English-friendly menu which helped a lot. Everything felt smooth and efficient without being rushed. It’s the kind of place where you’re in and out in under 30 minutes but still leave feeling like you had a great meal.

Honestly, for something inside a train station, this place blew me away. Great sushi, great value, and a fun local experience. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m passing...

Weekly sushi fix for me and my wife. The atmosphere and sushi quality is top and the selection one of the best I know in Tokyo. Most of the chefs can talk some english, so do t be limited by the english menu.

My goto order list: Nori shiru (Seaweed soup) Beer Aburi toro salmon no mayo (fried salmon flamed with mayo) Nama geso (raw squid tentacle) Aka ebi (big red shrimp - cna make the head into a soup) Yon-kan set (slection of four daily choice, normally crab, tuna, hotate and one more) Ososume Shiromi (recommendation of white fish) Kani Miso...
