Sisters who love Midori Sushi went to the newly opened Takashi in Seijo Gakuen, a slightly upscale Midori Sushi, and finally had the chance to go there. We visited on Sunday at 7:30 pm with a reservation. We opted for the omakase course priced at 14,850 yen. My stylish sister treated me to this meal. Here is a summary of the dishes we had: - Oyster soup with a whole oyster in it, with a nice yuzu aroma at the end. - Tender baby squid and monkfish liver, both delicious. - Crab meat and chrysanthemum flower, a refreshing dish for a break. - White fish milt with kelp dashi sauce, a perfect combination. - Assorted sashimi plate with bonito, amberjack, tuna, and scallop, all fresh and perfect with white wine. - Salmon roe chawanmushi with plenty of roe. - Squid from Echigo, easy to chew and refreshing. - Flounder from Aomori with hirame engawa on top, a well-balanced dish. - Horse mackerel from Oita, very delicious. - Mackerel pressed sushi, a first-time experience for me, and very tasty. - Fatty tuna with a satisfying texture. - Prawn and sea urchin, a luxurious combination. - Fresh eel, also in pressed sushi style. - Seared tuna belly, rare and meaty. - Mountain burdock and shiso roll, a refreshing end to the meal. - Red miso soup, perfect after a fulfilling meal. - Ankimo as the final nigiri, also in roll form. - Tamago made with shrimp paste, like a unique castella cake. - Yogurt mousse with strawberries, a gentle and not overly sweet way to end the meal. Finally, we made it to the Seijo branch. It seems easier to make reservations now compared to before. The counter seating offers a calm atmosphere, suitable for an adult date. It was delicious and a great experience. Thank you for the meal!

I visited for my wife's birthday lunch. The course was generous and the cost performance was great. The fluffy anago and satisfying otoro were delicious. The homemade pickled ginger used to make the ginger ale was very tasty and easy to drink.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Seijo Gakuenmae Station, Midori Sushi is a high-end sushi restaurant. The food is delicious and the head chef is friendly and easy to talk to. You can usually get a table without a reservation on weekdays during lunchtime. In the Seijo area where high-end sushi restaurants are rare, Midori Sushi is a valuable find.

Sushi here focuses on being able to eat in a relaxed and easy-going manner, which is perfect for residents in the Seijo area. While most sushi restaurants in residential areas may lack a sophisticated atmosphere, this place offers a pleasant space comparable to those in the city center, and the quality of the food is satisfying. It is a cost-effective restaurant.

The other day, I visited Sushi Mitosushi Akira Seijo store and enjoyed delicious sushi from appetizers to nigiri. I may have had a bit too much sake, but it was a great meal.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I made a reservation and arrived at 11 o'clock, but at first no one else was there, so I had the place all to myself and felt like I was indulging in luxury. I chose the 6600 yen chef's special course, and the sushi, flavored with salt lemon, karasumi, sesame, yuzu, and other creative touches instead of soy sauce, was exquisite and delicious. I enjoyed every single piece. I would like to visit this restaurant again to enjoy the seasonal ingredients.

I visited a sushi restaurant to try the so-called Edomae sushi made by skilled craftsmen. I had the 5,500 yen nigiri set. I had never tried this type of sushi before, so I wanted to share my experience as a reference. The presentation was beautiful and every piece was meticulously crafted, which left me very satisfied. Compared to other restaurants in the same price range, I believe you can enjoy much more elaborate dishes here. The tuna was not as fatty as I expected, but it had a strong and delicious flavor. The scallop was incredibly fresh and sweet, with noticeable fibers. I would love to go back and learn more about their craft.

I went to "Bito Masaru" which opened in front of Seijo Gakuenmae. While I'm not a big fan of the original Bitosushi, the sushi here was really delicious!! The restaurant only has a counter, giving off a high-class vibe, but the lunch menu is very cost-effective. Especially, the drinks are cheap!! The atmosphere inside is quiet and the customers are mostly older. It's a great place to go for a special occasion lunch.

Last year, I heard that the famous sushi restaurant, Midori Sushi in Umegaoka, known for its long lines, opened a high-end sushi restaurant. When it first opened, it was difficult to make reservations, but now it's smooth. Originally a popular casual sushi restaurant in town that expanded to multiple locations, they jumped on the trend and opened a high-end sushi restaurant. I was curious to see what would happen when a casual sushi restaurant started a high-end one. The menu is evolving in line with current styles. We also had some drinks, so the bill was reasonable. The mackerel shirako hand roll and foie gras roll were delicious. Thank you for the meal. As a fellow industry professional, I will refrain from giving a score.

This weekend's drinking destination is in Seijo Gakuenmae... Today, I was invited by a drinking buddy to visit "Midoriki Masashi" in Seijo Gakuenmae. This restaurant is the upscale version of the famous Midoriki. The course menu here is priced at 13,200 yen (tax included). We started off with a refreshing lemon sour for cheers! We enjoyed the various sushi and dishes that kept coming out. The menu included: Senpouji oysters, Akkeshi bluefin tuna, Sabazushi, Awaji island squid, Hirame engawa kobujime, Hokki clam, Shirako ponzu, Aburi toro, Akami zuke, Chu toro, Sawara shioyaki, Oita carabinero, Kohada, Kani sushi, Anago, Chawanmushi, Negitoro, Akadashi, Tamago, and Melon. The delicious food paired well with the Japanese sake we had, including Kaga Tobi, Kokuryu, and Dewazakura.

I made a reservation for a course meal in advance for lunch. The restaurant is located underground, so even though there is a sign above ground, it's not very noticeable, making it hard to find for first-time visitors. Unlike other Medori restaurants, this one has a more upscale feel, so the prices are a bit high, but the quality and taste of the food were consistently excellent. It seems that due to the season or other reasons, they only take reservations for 2-4 people at a time out of the 12 seats available. It was nice to have a quiet atmosphere, but if there are empty seats, I wish they would avoid seating guests next to each other.

Sushi restaurant Midori, with its main store in Umegaoka, has opened a new high-end brand near Seijo Gakuenmae Station called Midori ~ Sho ~. I visited the restaurant that opened in November and made a reservation for the lunch course which included 9 pieces of chef's choice nigiri and a small chirashi bowl for 3,850 yen (tax included). The restaurant has a counter with 10 seats arranged in a horseshoe shape, as well as private rooms, and operates on a reservation-only basis. Upon entering, there are temperature checks, hand sanitizers, and acrylic dividers at the counter. I opted for a watered-down rice shochu for my drink. The meal started with a mini dish of foie gras, followed by dishes such as medium fatty tuna, marinated flatfish from Hachinohe, horse mackerel, steamed prawn from Nagasaki, and rolled sushi with saury. The meal also included a small chirashi bowl, steamed conger eel, soup, and melon for dessert. I also enjoyed a sake from Karahosho in Akita. The sushi rice used was Yuki Shokoshu rice, which was cooked slightly firm and complemented the flavors of the fish well. The quality of the fish was excellent, with the medium fatty tuna and horse mackerel standing out. Despite the slightly higher price for the drinks, I believe it offers great value for the quality of the food. Reservations are almost fully booked for the rest of the year, but it seems there may be some availability for single diners if you call the restaurant directly. I look forward to trying their dinner course next year. With the end of the sushi boom due to the pandemic, it's nice to see more high-value sushi restaurants emerging. I rate this experience a 3.5 out of 5, considering it's only been a month since the restaurant opened and I visited for lunch.

I couldn't resist visiting the upscale version of Medori Sushi in Seijo, even though I was late to make a reservation due to discussing with friends. I visited for lunch on a weekday. I had the Chef's Choice Nigiri for 3850 yen, Champagne Louis Bouvier Brut for 1650 yen, Koshu Katsunuma white wine for 990 yen, and Muscat Berry A red wine for 990 yen. The meal included various delicacies like simmered tuna bloodline, steamed egg custard, Hachinohe bluefin tuna belly, red snapper, marinated horse mackerel from Nagasaki, scallop, Kumamoto shrimp, Bafun sea urchin, Edo-style conger eel, and shrimp and pike conger surimi hand roll. The quality of the ingredients was different from the regular Medori Sushi, and everything had such great flavor that soy sauce wasn't necessary. The uni was handed separately to preserve the crispiness of the seaweed. The cooked shrimp and sweet omelette were not to my liking. I usually decline dessert, but couldn't this time, and the melon was unnecessary for me. The wine was expensive, with only three options available by the glass. I wish they offered their own original wine and sake with the Medori name on the label. The evening course is much pricier, so I tried the lunch course this time. I'm not sure if I'll go back. I think I'll continue to take the train to Umegaoka like usual.

This is a top-rated sushi restaurant called Mitosushi located in Umegaoka, which branched off from Kyodo. It has only 12 counter seats, making it suitable for adult pairs. Unfortunately, there are no table seats for families. Their omakase nigiri set (10 pieces with a hand roll) costs 3,850 yen and takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. ★★★★ About Lunch Reservations ★★★★ If you check the website and see that reservations are full, don't give up and try calling them first! Even on the day of, there might still be available seats if you shift your timing. So, give them a call first to confirm. If there are available time slots, you can even walk in without a reservation. However, dinner time seems to be by reservation only.

Established in 1977, this sushi restaurant is located at Umegaoka Station on the Odakyu Line, known for its fresh and affordable sushi. Despite not taking reservations, the restaurant gained popularity through word of mouth. In 1984, it rebranded as "Umegaoka Sushi no Midori" and opened a new building, marking the beginning of its legendary status. In the late 1980s, I waited in line with my girlfriend to enjoy a piece of conger eel sushi. The restaurant also offers thick and luxurious sushi rolls, but ordering too much can lead to missing out on them. In 1998, a branch was opened in Ginza, followed by expansions into Super Ozeki and promoting takeout options. By 2010, a branch was opened in Akasaka, and in 2018, the restaurant expanded to Hong Kong. With an annual revenue of 6 billion yen and 400 staff members, it has become a large corporation. Recently, new branches have opened in the upscale residential area of Seijo, near the ticket gates, and next to the high-end brand Shoka. Both locations have been very popular. The Seijo branch requires reservations made online. I was able to secure a reservation due to a cancellation. The restaurant is elegantly designed with a jazz soundtrack playing in the background. I ordered the lunch omakase sushi set (10 pieces with a hand roll) and was served a cold beer and white wine. The sushi was expertly prepared and delicious. The meal ended with a delightful dessert of melon and persimmon mousse. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, although the service could be improved.

It's a delicious sushi restaurant. The interior is clean, and the menu changes with the seasons, so you never get bored whenever you go.

When it comes to having lunch near Seijo Gakuenmae, this is definitely the place to go! Once again, the food was delicious and the prices were great. Whenever I feel like having sushi, I will definitely come back here!

You can enjoy ingredients that are particular about the season and place of origin. Sushi is delicious after all.

A high-end brand offering a 14-piece course of beautiful sushi at the counter. They prepare the sushi right in front of you, allowing you to enjoy with your eyes and taste buds. Great value for the quality.
