Lunch before a business trip. Grilled saury, flounder fin, red clam nigiri, assorted sashimi, medium fatty tuna gunkan, squid, and kelp gunkan for about 2,000 yen. I wanted to drink beer... The quality of the fish, the sushi rice, the taste, and the service were all good, and I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal!

I stayed for one night and before heading back, I had lunch at a standing sushi restaurant in Tokyo Station with my aunt and mother. It may be a bit pricey compared to Kansai, but the sushi was all fresh. I was able to enjoy my favorite engawa sushi and the uni was incredibly delicious. The gizzard shad was also tasty. I tried not to eat too much because the bill was getting high, but it was a treat. Eating delicious food really lifts your spirits. I found out there is a branch in Osaka too, so I might go there for lunch next time. Everything was really delicious. #StandingSushi Restaurant Kantaro #Tokyo Station Ichibangai Branch #Sushi #LoveSushi

I was able to buy souvenirs and was planning to head back to the countryside on the Shinkansen, but I realized I was quite hungry so I decided to stop by a standing sushi bar. I usually only go to places like Sushiro, so I felt a bit nervous as the sushi came out one by one. Delicious sushi is something I can eat endlessly, but I gracefully enjoyed just 10 pieces before leaving the restaurant. Today's recommended spear squid was incredibly delicious. It had a high freshness and the texture was amazing. Thank you for the meal.

In the evening at Tokyo Station, it was crowded with commuters returning home and tourists. There was a line outside this shop for waiting customers. I thought I had to order directly from the chef behind the counter, but it was actually done through a tablet. The sushi was fresh and quite good. The price was reasonable. The chef was a young woman who was attentive. There is a smartphone app with a QR code for downloading, which gives you 200 points (equivalent to 200 yen) as a first-time service. I paid 1340 yen for an 8-piece set. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

It's been a while since I had rotating sushi. I indulged in fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, and lean tuna. The fat content was on the lighter side. The popular trio of salmon, sweet shrimp, and flounder were rotating around. The basics included tea cups, small plates, wasabi, salt, etc. When you order, the items arrive on a separate lane. This way, there is less waste and cost reduction. I hope all rotating sushi places implement this.

I visited around 12:00 on a regular day, the restaurant was busy but there was no line. Ordering sushi from a touch panel and getting it quickly was great, even when short on time. The "fresh surf clam" was my favorite this time.

Memo. Visit date unknown. A quick and convenient restaurant near Tokyo Station that can be easily calculated based on the timing of Shinkansen and limited express trains. Sometimes you don't want to stray too far from the station, right? In such cases, this place comes in handy, so let's go! The restaurant is located in the underground food court "Tokyo Station Ichibangai Nihon Gourmet Street" outside the Tokyo Station ticket gates. It's close to the Yaesu exit ticket gate, so you can easily calculate which train to catch, which is very convenient! They inherit the tradition of Edo-style sushi and blend tradition with modernity by incorporating fresh seafood from Hokkaido and the skills of the chefs. The interior of the restaurant consists only of a counter, with touch panels for ordering placed in front of each standing position! Moreover, it supports multiple languages, so foreign visitors can feel at ease! The clean and bright interior has chefs who will attend to you at the counter. The menu includes a lineup of sushi ranging from 110 to 440 yen per piece, as well as market-priced sea urchin, a three-piece assortment, and side dishes! First, cheers with a beer~♪ The Premium Malt's draft beer for 715 yen is a bit expensive... Now, let's order our favorite sushi using the touch panel~♪ The chefs will then prepare them one by one based on the printed order slip! As the name suggests, the fresh seafood from Hakodate has excellent quality! The sashimi, tuna, salmon, shrimp, and rolls are all delicious and well-prepared! There are also chefs who wear gloves while preparing the sushi, showing a modern touch, and you can catch a glimpse of the fusion between traditional and avant-garde styles. Although there are some rough edges and the technical skills, delicacy, and artistic flair may not be fully refined, the quality of the ingredients covers it up! Overall, it falls within the OK range! Enjoying your favorite dishes and drinks for around 4,000 yen is a good deal! The straightforward communication, convenient location, price, and quality make this restaurant a place where you can be fully satisfied!

It's a standing sushi bar, but it's nice that they hand you the sushi. The taste is good and they have a lot of unique toppings (even though many were sold out in the evening). The orders come out quickly once you place them. Even if you go with two people, you order individually using a touch panel. You can also order water and tea using the touch panel. You can choose to have wasabi or not, and normal or less rice using the touch panel, but if you ask for less wasabi, they will accommodate (which was amazing for me). That's the kind of place it was! [Ordered Items] - Squid (delicious as usual) - Scallop (very thick and sweet) - Salmon (the best food for women! A must-have!!) - Striped jack (I usually don't eat oily fish, but it looked delicious so I ordered it and it was incredibly tasty) Satisfied, we boarded the bullet train. Thank you for the meal! Although, the bottled beer was a bit expensive.

The sushi at this restaurant is perfect for when you want a light meal after drinking or before heading to a bar. The atmosphere used to be livelier and better before, but it has changed a bit. The sushi toppings are fresh and delicious, although the rice portion seems to have decreased. As a man, I found it a bit lacking. The three pieces of tuna sushi had large toppings and were especially delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the standing sushi bar Hanataro at Tokyo Station Ichibangai. It was a weekday evening, and they were only operating at half capacity with two sushi chefs behind the counter. You order using a touch screen at this standing sushi bar. I had the following: squid, marinated cod roe, medium fatty tuna, battleship sushi with surf clam, scallop, and tendon nigiri. Initially, there were only two customers, but it eventually became five, filling up half of the counter. Despite the increase in customers, my medium fatty tuna battleship sushi never arrived. It turns out, they forgot to make it even though I ordered it on the touch screen. It was a disappointing experience.

Tokyo Sono-san seemed to regret, saying, "It's not good to have three meals already from the morning," and decided to visit "Tachigui Sushi Kantaro Tokyo Station Ichibangai Store." There were already 8 groups lined up before the opening. When the store opened, there were empty seats but we had to wait for about 5 minutes because the capacity of the sushi chef was exceeded. It was unusual to see a female artisan. We ordered using the tablet installed on the counter! The sushi was fresh and all of them were delicious. The Hokkaido scallops, sea urchin, and salmon roe were excellent! Well, the sea urchin was 880 yen per piece. If it wasn't delicious, Abarenbou-kun would be upset. It's better than conveyor belt sushi, but maybe a bit pricey because it's Tokyo Station. Thank you for the meal☆

The opening hours of the restaurant can change irregularly, so it is recommended to check the latest information on the website. When I visited, it was from 11:00 to 22:00 (last order at 21:30). I had previously given up on visiting because I thought it opened at 10:00 last month. This time, I adjusted my Shinkansen schedule to visit again. I arrived just before 11:00 on a weekday. There was already a line of customers inside, with a wait for 2 groups. To get in on the first round, you need to line up around 10:30. However, since it is standing sushi, the turnover is fast. I waited for about 15 minutes before being seated. Orders are placed using a touch panel. I ordered various items such as fresh herring, Pacific saury, scallop, homemade mackerel, shrimp, scallop, steamed clam sushi, etc. All the items were fresh and delicious, and I was satisfied. One thing to note is that sometimes there may be a slight delay in orders, depending on the skill of the sushi chef and the amount ordered by other customers. Also, for those who frequently use the Tokaido Shinkansen and have an EX Reservation-Only IC card or Express card, there is a 10% discount on the bill.

Overall, I think the quality of the dishes and the prices are not bad. Especially, the Ema porch is quite well done for a consistent price of 150 yen... I thought. However, I can't help but wonder about serving completely unrelated items together, especially those with different characteristics, like in the photo. It's good, but that aspect is questionable. Thank you for the meal.

I had plans to go out over the weekend and decided to stop by Tokyo Station after work for some shopping. I wanted to have ramen for dinner, so I headed to Tokyo Ramen Street, but the line at the restaurant I wanted to try was too long. On my way back to the station, I noticed another sushi restaurant that I had heard of but never paid much attention to. Since it was hot that day, I decided to stop by for a quick drink. The restaurant was a standing sushi bar, and I was directed to a counter near the entrance by the staff. I ordered a bottle of beer and started with some sushi - sea bream, amberjack, and fatty tuna. The sushi was decent, with the rice being on the smaller side and the fish being of good quality. While waiting for my order, I noticed that there were quite a few solo female customers in the restaurant, which was unexpected for a standing sushi bar. I added some white fish and seared fish to my order, and after enjoying my sushi and beer, the bill came out to be over 3,000 yen for 9 pieces of sushi and a bottle of beer. Overall, it was a decent place to have a quick drink and some sushi, although the prices were a bit on the higher side, possibly due to the location. It was a nice way to end my day with a casual drink and some good sushi.

Eating while standing. Yet, ordering with a touch panel! How convenientーfeeling the flow of the timesーThe chef prepares the food right in front of you. The way they place the food can be a bit messy, like rolling or torn, but well, it tastes good. The first dish comes out quickly, so it's best to order 2 or 3 dishes at once. You can also order water or tea refills with the touch panel, so I had a comfortable time. Thank you for the meal＿○／|＿

There are two sushi restaurants at Tokyo Station. I have used the conveyor belt sushi restaurant before. This is my first visit to the standing sushi restaurant. I was lucky to enter without waiting in line. You can order using a touch panel. There were two sushi chefs who made the sushi. The orders don't all come out at once, so it's not very photogenic. The sushi was delicious. I think it's a good place for a quick meal. Sushi might taste better when eaten sitting down.

Kantaro is a standing sushi restaurant located on the basement floor of Yaesu Exit at Tokyo Station. The clean and bright interior offers fresh seafood directly from Hokkaido at affordable prices. Located in the bustling area of Tokyo Station, you can quickly order using a tablet. Although it is part of a chain, this is the first store in Tokyo. There is also a conveyor belt sushi style restaurant called "Kantaro TOKYO Tokyo Ichiban-gai Store" nearby. - Location: 1 minute walk from Tokyo Station (direct access) - Business hours: 10:00-23:00 - Closed: None - Crowdedness: I visited on a weekday evening and was able to get in quickly. - I first ordered the "Squid and Salmon Roe" (¥110), "Tuna Belly" (¥209) + "Lobster Miso Gunkan" (¥154). This restaurant has a counter-only seating arrangement, with the sushi ingredients displayed in clear cases. This allows you to see what's popular and check the freshness of the ingredients. The "Squid and Salmon Roe" had a glossy appearance and a chewy texture. The "Tuna Belly" had just the right amount of salt and was very fresh. Instead of the usual "Crab Miso," they served "Lobster Miso," which was packed full in the gunkan style and very satisfying. I also tried the "Shrimp" (¥154), "Salmon" (¥154), and "Firefly Squid" (?). The shrimp was a decent size with a moist texture, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor. The Firefly Squid, which was in season for a limited time, had a delightful crunchy texture. Overall, I was very satisfied with the high-quality sushi at an affordable price.

I went to a sushi restaurant near Tokyo Station based on information from a local expert. I arrived at 4 pm to avoid the crowds that usually form after 5 pm. I was able to enter without waiting at this time. The restaurant operates with a touch panel for ordering, and while it's fine for delicate sushi that can be eaten with chopsticks, I found myself using my hands for the nigiri sushi, making it a bit challenging to juggle between eating and wiping my hands for the touch panel (laughs). The restaurant focuses more on the skill of sushi-making rather than just relying on fresh seafood from Hakodate. They offer a good balance of sushi from Kyushu and other regions, making it a solid and enjoyable sushi restaurant. The shrimp sushi in the photo was delicious, but the salmon roe was especially tasty. It really captured the essence of Hokkaido.

I had a tuna feast, a negitoro hand roll, kanpachi (from Kagoshima), fresh squid (from Hokkaido), and grilled squid fin. It was delicious! I visited the restaurant located on B1F of Tokyo Station at 6:30 pm on a weekday. I ordered using the touch panel at the counter. The sushi was easy to enjoy and tasted great.

- Shrimp: 154 yen - Scallop: ??? - Live octopus: 209 yen - Yellowtail: 154 yen * Including tax. I had finished my errands and was considering skipping dinner and heading home on this weekday evening. However, despite not having much of an appetite, I was feeling so hungry that I started to feel sick. I decided to look for a place where I could quickly grab something to eat alone, and that's when I found this place! It's pronounced "Kantaro," not "Hakotaro." It was around 9:00 PM when I arrived. I waited in line for about 5-10 minutes before entering. It's a standing sushi bar with a touch panel ordering system. This time, I selected shrimp, scallop, yellowtail, and octopus. Even though I was in a period where I couldn't eat rice and had no appetite, the vinegared rice and the freshness of the sushi easily went down my stomach. The fresh ingredients at this price point in Tokyo Station are a great cost-performance deal! Shrimp, yellowtail, etc. are all 154 yen each?! Since it's a standing sushi bar, you can quickly eat and go, making it perfect for people with limited time. Business travelers, you should definitely check it out! ❤
