Alright, so picture this: two tired travelers, bags in tow, zombie-walking through every terminal in Narita Airport in search of that last sushi fix before heading back to the land of boring sandwiches and sad airport salads. Weâre hangry, on a mission, and my step counter is screaming. Just as weâre about to settle for some stale-looking rice bowl, BAMâthere it is! Uogashi Nihon-ichi, glowing like the Holy Grail of sushi.
We bee-line in, get greeted by the friendliest cashier whoâs practically radiating good vibes (seriously, if youâre reading this, cashier-san, youâre a legend). We order, and itâs like, BOOMâsushi arrives faster than I can blink. And not just any sushiâactual works of art. Tasted like it was hand-delivered from a magical sushi kingdom. Like, who let airport sushi be this good? Wild.

It was because in our perception, food price inside the airport departure hall would be 30% more than the usual price.
When we scanned around this area, all the food stalls here were reasonable in the...
   Read moreGreat for a connecting flight but nothing comparable to what you can get for the price and quality in Japan.
With that said, itâs airport sushi thatâs probably better than what you can get outside of Asia.
The selection was decent and staff were patient with the ordering - pointing at menu. Pairing sushi with an ice cold Asahi in a mug is hard to beat.
Have had better and cheaper in Japan but for airport food this gets the job done! Especially if youâre in transit.
YMMV depending on the sushi chef. Saw some other patronâs plates which were better presented than others. Knocking a star off for the...
