Forget about work... Since I had the chance, I decided to visit "Suehiro Sushi" to enjoy some sushi. I can't wait to go home and see my family, but the allure of sushi is too strong, so I decided to indulge myself. My regular restaurant had made a reservation for me... Let's go in! It's past 6 PM, with one group of customers ahead of me and two customers behind me. I sit at the counter and the delightful chef's smile immediately puts me at ease. Now, let's order! "I'm told to eat what I like, but...". "I can't be like a typical Showa-era salaryman." The chef understands my hesitation and prepares the same dishes as my companion. When it comes to sushi, I'm open to anything, so instead of leaving it to the chef, I let my companion decide and go with the flow. Starting with abalone, "When was the last time I had abalone...". "I can't even remember having it as sushi." "Wow, it's delicious!" The thick, crunchy texture is irresistible. "I want it to stay crunchy forever." Next, the pearl oyster, "I don't usually eat this myself." "It's delicious, I had forgotten." The gizzard shad, "I don't usually eat this either." "Yum!! I didn't know it was this delicious." The fatty tuna, "Ohhh my god." "So delicious!" It melts in your mouth, and I'm getting excited. Sea urchin, "Ohhh my god." "I closed my eyes, on the verge of ecstasy." "This is dangerous." "In conclusion, this is the best today." Salmon roe, "It's the real deal...". "Each piece feels huge." "So yummy!" Eel, "Pufferfish-kun." "Delicious!!" "Grilled eel, this was also shocking." Shrimp, "I love shrimp." "I wonder how many years it's been." "So delicious!" Grilled fish milt, "Gah!!" "What is this." "I close my eyes again." "I'd be content to stay like this." Tuna, "Hmm, I love the lean tuna." "Thick and satisfying." Fatty tuna, "Well, my stomach is getting full." "I should have known this." "Hmm, it's melting away." "It's definitely the fatty tuna." Simmered abalone, "For the finish, the chef's recommended dish." "This is also incredibly delicious." "It started with abalone and ended with abalone." There are no prices displayed anywhere... I wouldn't dare enter alone. Thank you for the delicious meal. Activity Report No. 4389 ☆ Suehiro Sushi ☆ Address: 3-51-7 Minami Otsuka, Toshima-ku Business hours: 12:00-13:30, 17:00-23:00 Closed on Sundays

Sushi restaurant located in the shopping street near Otsuka Station South Exit. There are about 6 seats at the counter and a small raised tatami area. They stay open quite late. Ordered some sake with shrimp and bonito as appetizers. The shrimp had roe in it. Switched to sushi with octopus, fatty tuna, and herring roe roll. Also had some white fish but I can't remember. Each piece of sushi comes in pairs with small rice portions. The vinegar in the rice is quite strong, which may be a hit or miss for some. Personally, I prefer it a bit milder.

Visited around 5:00 PM on a Saturday. The owner, who seems to run the restaurant with their family, was quiet and kind, serving delicious sushi. Some of the sushi was made with just the fish head instead of pre-cut pieces. With only 7-8 seats, the quiet atmosphere was to my liking. I noticed posters of the owner's singing activities on the wall (laughs). I will definitely visit again. Revisited on 6/10 for lunch craving delicious sushi. The atmosphere of the restaurant was still amazing. I could eat quietly, and the owner didn't bother me with unnecessary conversation. Such a comfortable place. The sushi was delicious, even for lunch. They also served salmon roe, which was tasty, so I ordered more as a snack. It goes well with hot water mixed with shochu. A hidden gem that I want to keep secret, but also want everyone to know about. Will definitely visit again.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened in the evening. Gradually, more customers came in and some were greeted, giving me the impression that this sushi restaurant is loved by the locals. I tried a variety of dishes and they were as fresh and delicious as I had imagined. It was also nice to see some unique sushi toppings.

It was close to 8 pm on the weekend when I visited this restaurant in Otsuka, which was the second stop of the day. I found this place on Tabelog and really wanted to try it out. Surprisingly, it was established in 1928, and the head chef is now in its third generation. I sat at the counter and toasted with a warm shochu mixed with hot tea. The head chef prepared a sashimi platter for me, beautifully arranged with tuna, yellowtail, flounder, squid, and ark shell. Each piece of sushi was carefully placed on a sushi geta. The freshness of the seafood was outstanding, and I enjoyed every bite. I also had hokkigai, sardine, and squid nigiri, each one bursting with flavor. The hokkigai had a thick and flavorful texture, the sardine melted in my mouth with its rich oiliness, and the squid had a satisfying chewiness. The sushi rice was perfectly seasoned with a balance of softness, acidity, and sweetness. This restaurant was definitely a great choice and a big hit!

Established in 1928! It's wonderful that the tradition has been passed down through generations! I would like to give extra points just for that. The ikura, uni, and fresh sea urchin were delicious with no fishy taste! The otoro, chutoro, kawahagi, shirako, kobako, akagai, anago, and sake special junmai were all tasty! I wonder why there are not more customers, as the quality is high! The total bill was 5,900 yen.

Nigiri sushi for 950 yen. Visited around 12:10 on a weekday. The restaurant has a counter with 7 seats, 2 tables for 2 people, and is small in size. There was one group of 6 customers already there. The lunch menu offers a choice of nigiri sushi or chirashi sushi, and I ordered the nigiri sushi. A salad was served promptly, consisting of shredded cabbage as the main ingredient with lettuce, carrots, and a wasabi-flavored Japanese dressing. The sushi was served in about 15 minutes, with a selection of tuna, sea bream, bonito, sweet shrimp, monkfish liver, horse mackerel, salmon, tamago, and a tekka maki roll - a total of 9 varieties. The sushi pieces were on the smaller side, but the balance of fish and rice was perfect, and each piece had a delicious umami flavor.

The cost performance is quite high! I visited this place during telework after checking it out on Tabelog. The service lunch is only 950 yen. Nowadays, it's common for any genre to be over 1000 yen, so it's great to find a sushi restaurant at this price. I went on a Wednesday for the complimentary 9 pieces of sushi, 3 negitoro, miso soup, and salad for 950 yen. It's really cheap, right? Even if it was 1000 yen, it would still be considered inexpensive. The rice balls are small, making it easy for women to eat, and the best part is that the fish slices are thick and large. The medium fatty tuna was the most delicious. The sardine was also tasty. The negitoro roll had a good balance of green onion and fatty tuna. Instead of using kanpyo or cucumber in the rolls, they use fish, showing their generous spirit. The egg was slightly sweet and flavorful. And the surprising part was the miso soup. Most places serve a simple miso soup with seaweed, wakame, or a small piece of tofu as a side, but here, even at 950 yen, they don't cut corners and make a proper miso soup with plenty of fish meat. The fact that it comes with a salad is also nice. I think this is the best value sushi lunch in Otsuka. (Excluding conveyor belt sushi and chains)

Date and time of visit: Weekday 11:50-12:15 Weather: Sunny There are many traditional sushi restaurants near Otsuka Station. I was the first customer of the day, and was surprised by the family-run atmosphere as soon as I entered (lol). Later, some regular customers also came in. For lunch, they offer a service lunch for 950 yen, where you can choose between nigiri or chirashi. It comes with a salad on weekdays. The chirashi had a small portion of rice, but it was delicious. Considering the price, the quality was satisfying.

This is a sushi restaurant in Otsuka with a Showa era atmosphere. There are many restaurants like this in Otsuka, so it's fun to compare them. I had a bamboo plate of sushi for 2,000 yen. The quality of the fish was also good, don't you think? I think this price is cheap. The fish soup was also delicious. Next time, I would like to try the chirashi as well.

Service lunch set (950 yen) comes with a choice of nigiri sushi and chirashi sushi♪ It also includes salad and miso soup (*^^*) The nigiri set includes 8 pieces of sushi plus a roll. This place seems to be loved by locals, as they offer takeout and delivery services. It is a family-run business, which gives a cozy atmosphere (*^^*) The sushi selection includes horse mackerel, egg, lean tuna, sweet shrimp, yellowtail, salmon roe, fatty tuna, and rolled sushi. The rolled sushi was a bit too sticky. The sea bream and horse mackerel had a slightly fishy taste that bothered me (> <) The fatty tuna roll was really delicious!! The melt-in-your-mouth tuna with crispy seaweed was excellent. The hot miso soup was a nice touch, just be careful not to burn yourself with it♪

Located a 2-minute walk from Otsuka Station, this sushi restaurant is situated in the dining district on the south side. Run by the head chef and his family, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy for first-time visitors. The set sushi prices range from 1,100 to 3,000 yen in four tiers. They also offer lunch service. I walked around Otsuka Station after a long time and noticed that there are many sushi restaurants in both sides of the bustling area. In the evening, I decided to explore the dining district on the south side and ended up here. I was the first customer as it was still early. Inside the restaurant, there was an L-shaped counter. The middle-aged head chef greeted me warmly. There was also an elderly lady who might be the former landlady. The atmosphere was very cozy. I ordered a bottled beer, specifically Ebisu, and saw the daily specials written on the wall. Since there was no appetizer served, I decided to try the monkfish liver. It was cut into bite-sized pieces, with a creamy texture and rich flavor. I dipped it lightly in ponzu sauce. As I was enjoying my dish, regular customers started to arrive one after another. I thought about ordering one more dish, but I quickly moved on to the sushi. The sushi set ranges from 1,100 yen for Ume to 3,000 yen for Sen. I chose the Matsusushi for 2,400 yen. The chef served me 1-2 pieces at a time, including fatty tuna, sea bream, flounder, sweet shrimp, tuna, sea urchin, salmon roe, and half-fatty tuna. The rice had a slightly sweet and gentle sushi vinegar flavor, with a slightly chewy texture. The quality of the fish was excellent, and the torched fatty tuna was particularly delicious. After enjoying a beer, monkfish liver, Matsusushi, my total bill came to 4,200 yen. While it may not be cheap considering the portion size, the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the counter made it a comfortable dining experience for first-time visitors. There are many long-standing restaurants in the area, and although I don't have any specific plans, I would like to explore more around this station, located next to Ikebukuro.

I'm in Otsuka. Otsuka Station has changed a lot since the old days, but there is still a bit of a cluttered feeling in the alleys of the shopping street. There used to be a tram depot in Otsuka during the heyday of the streetcars. I also commuted to high school by streetcar, so I feel a sense of familiarity with Otsuka. There are several sushi restaurants in the shopping street, and I've been meaning to conquer them all but haven't made much progress. Today, I'm thinking of visiting two of them. First, let's start here. The exterior of the shop gives me a very strong impression. When I entered the shop, I found that the shop's personality matched me perfectly. The small space seems to be filled with the ups and downs of life over the years. The master and the female owner are friendly and make you feel good about coming to a downtown sushi restaurant. I ordered the "Matsu" (2400 yen) and started chatting. The master at the sushi restaurant is easy to talk to. I'm sure the atmosphere here becomes really nice at night, with the master at the center. The quality of the sushi was evident as soon as I saw the selection in the case. The skill of Tokyo's street sushi is amazing. I was surprised that they were going to throw all of this away. The sushi was large and I love meal-sized sushi. Otoro, otoro, golden eye snapper, flounder, sea urchin, salmon roe, sweet shrimp, tamago, half a roll. The Tekka maki was also delicious. This shop is definitely a winner. (#7170)

I had the cherry salmon! Everything was delicious! ❤️

Sushi Suetohiro, as expected! The liver of the kawahagi was delicious without any complaints.

This is a traditional sushi restaurant in an old town. The main customers are local seniors, which creates a nice atmosphere. The appetizers are delicious, making it a good place to drink with a small group.

Long-awaited Sushi Sushi Matsubara was delicious without complaint! The ingredients are good, the cost performance is good, and the atmosphere is good. Thank you for always serving delicious sushi. Although I said that, this time I drank too much and didn't even make it to the sushi. I will definitely go back!

The soy sauce and rice are fatally unappetizing.

Lunch set menu ===========

Lunch at Giri was amazing!
