very good sushi, well prepared and very fresh, i tried all levels of fattiness of tuna and actually preferred the chutoro, but the otoro was melt in your mouth tender as well. uni was delicious. great desserts too, the matcha ice cream wafer was a stand out
Excellent sushi, great service, and a calm, authentic atmosphere. Everything was fresh and well prepared. A solid choice in Akihabara.
Stopped for lunch and ordered a family set meal plus a couple rounds of Tempura (6 pieces per round). All wonderful and far better quality than the Kura conveyor belt outlets IMHO. It was not particularly busy so was well attended to particularly as there was a doorbell system available to call the service staff. Well located closed to Akihabara. Close to transport that you can occasionally feel a train's vibrations :) Good seating options with table, counters and also closed booths against the right hand wall.
A Hidden Gem with Outstanding Hospitality! "I had a wonderful experience at this cozy Japanese restaurant. Even though the space isn't very large, they have enough seating and were happy to welcome us as walk-ins without a reservation. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home as tourists. The food was exceptionally fresh and delicious—we were genuinely happy with every single dish we ordered. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and welcoming meal!"
From what I recall, this is a very solid, well-above-average sushi spot in Akihabara. For a sit-down place, I liked it. In addition to sushi options, there were some solid cooked dishes if—for some reason—you went to a sushi restaurant and didn't want only sushi. That said, one of my travelees and I ate sushi, and the quality was definitely very solid—maybe not the absolute best sushi I've ever had in my life, but definitely Japan-level quality, which is still way better than most sushi you can get in America. I especially remember the nigiri tuna options, particularly the chutoro and otoro. I don't know if it was a great tuna season or something in February 2026, but it tasted particularly excellent here. Basically, all the sushi we got was good. So if you're in Akihabara and looking for a solid sushi option, this is definitely a good one to go to.
