During the weekend lunch, when the restaurant opened, only two people entered and left without any other customers coming in. However, there seemed to be people who had made reservations for later time slots. The atmosphere felt like a traditional sushi restaurant in town, with many regular customers. I ordered the special sushi set for around 2000 yen, along with a bottle of beer. When I ordered the beer, I was served mozuku vinegar as a complimentary appetizer (the appetizer seemed to be charged separately from the beer). The sushi set included akami, chutoro, kobashira, amaebi, uni, ikura, shiroi ika, tamagoyaki, and various rolls (such as toro tekka). It also came with a tai no arajiru soup. The ingredients seemed to be carefully prepared, and the sushi was well-made. Even just looking at the variety, it offered great value for the price. I highly recommend it to those who want to try non-conveyor belt sushi for the first time. I will definitely use it for lunch again, and I also want to try it for dinner, enjoying sake while snacking on sushi.

Fresh and delicious! The fish I purchased was fresh. Satchan 😊

I always ordered the set menu, but when I tried the individual eel dish, it was the best! Eel is highly recommended! The flavor with soy sauce and salt is completely different and delicious!

I visited a long-established sushi restaurant that has been around for a long time. Despite the prevalence of conveyor belt sushi restaurants nowadays, this place is still working hard. The sushi case is filled with fresh and delicious seafood, but due to budget constraints, I ordered a set meal today, which was still delicious as always. The head chef is quite elderly, but his skills are still top-notch. I definitely want to come back next time and treat myself to some luxurious sushi. I really hope this kind of restaurant continues to thrive.

We had lunch at a sushi restaurant near my son's boarding house on a Sunday. The restaurant was located in a student area and had a lively atmosphere with a counter seating. The chef and his assistant were both from Edo (old Tokyo) and provided great service. We ordered the special sushi lunch set for ¥2160. Since it was a bit chilly, we also ordered hot sake. We were served white fish as an appetizer with the hot sake. The sushi started with tuna and medium fatty tuna, and we enjoyed chatting with the chef while eating delicious sushi, including my favorite, shad. We also had a tasty miso soup with clams. It was a delightful experience enjoying traditional Edo-style sushi at this long-standing restaurant. We look forward to visiting again when we go to see our son at his boarding house.

The place is located a little further down from Nishiwaseda intersection on Waseda street towards Takadanobaba, with a large university nearby. In this area of Waseda, where there is little demand for redevelopment, you can find many traditional eateries, especially affordable sushi restaurants. I relied on the good reputation of other reviewers to visit this restaurant. The menu offers two options: sushi sets priced at 1620 yen and 2160 yen, each with four pieces. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere with a long wooden counter, where the owner in his 70s stands behind the sushi counter. I ordered the 1620 yen set, which included 2 pieces of tuna, large shrimp, squid, simmered conger eel, salmon roe, tamagoyaki, kappa maki, and tekka maki. The sushi rice was made with Koshihikari rice, with a sticky texture and a strong sweetness that complemented the vinegar's acidity. The pickled ginger was not the usual pink sweet vinegar pickles, but a natural-colored salt and vinegar pickle that highlighted the acidity and spiciness. The miso soup was rich in flavor, with plenty of shrimp heads and egg shells adding depth to the broth. Even with just 7-8 pieces of sushi, there was a surprising sense of satisfaction, showcasing the magic of sushi. I look forward to trying the 2160 yen set next time.

I visited "Anbei Sushi," located near Nishi-Waseda, right next to "Raamen Yamaguchi." The counter has 8 seats, and there seems to be tatami seating in the back. The neatly arranged sushi toppings in the case look delicious, raising my expectations. I ordered the Chirashi (deluxe) for 1,620 yen. The toppings included red snapper, gizzard shad, lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, tamago (egg), boiled shrimp legs, boiled firefly squid, conger eel, salmon roe, and carabinero shrimp. The gizzard shad was particularly good, perfectly seasoned. The conger eel was also delicious. The carabinero shrimp was the best I've had recently, large and sweet. The sushi rice was made with very good quality rice, with each grain standing out. The rice is large-grained and sweet, but when you take a bite, it gently falls apart in your mouth. The pickled ginger had a lingering spiciness, typical of Edo-style sushi. The miso soup was made with red snapper bones, tofu, enoki mushrooms, and myoga ginger, more like a clear soup. I also noticed scallops, ark shells, mirugai (geoduck clam), marinated horse mackerel, marinated mackerel, sardines, flounder, crab meat, saury, salmon roe, cod roe (might be mentaiko), sea urchin, fresh squid, and more in the topping case. It's a genuine sushi restaurant that pays great attention to detail.

It is located on the left side of the street, heading from Waseda towards Takada-no-baba. I stopped by out of nostalgia. I wasn't particularly hungry, so I just had a few pieces of sushi. They mainly focus on shiny fish like gizzard shad. It was delicious. The seasoning was just right. It's been a while since I had such tasty gizzard shad. I remember having a party on the second floor here a long time ago. I didn't really know about the taste back then, so I don't remember what I ate. But the atmosphere of the restaurant somehow brought back memories of that time. It feels nice. I'd like to gather a few people and come back next time.

After passing through the curtain a little past the lunch hour, we ordered sushi and sake at the counter. My friend and I enjoyed our drinks while waiting. The restaurant was empty except for the two of us. I was feeling good that day, and the sake went down smoothly, making me feel great. We ordered a few of our favorite sushi dishes and enjoyed them while getting pleasantly tipsy. The hustle and bustle of Waseda Street could be heard in the background, adding to the atmosphere. We finished a couple of tokkuri of sake and ordered more sushi and sake. We enjoyed the sunny afternoon feeling slightly buzzed. About five years ago, there used to be a grocery store called "Himatsubushi" next door, where I used to go often. I miss the sandwich man from Himatsubushi... Now it has been replaced by a black cat Yamato delivery service. On the right side is a model gun shop called "Uncle," which seems to be famous in that area. The restaurant is located right in the middle between JR Takadanobaba Station and Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. It's a bit of a walk from the station. I haven't been there in a while, but I will definitely go back. Thank you for the meal.

The criteria I use to choose a sushi restaurant in Tokyo is that they have delicious octopus, conger eel, and boiled shrimp, are reasonably priced so I can visit frequently and enjoy for under 10,000 yen. The sushi chefs have high-level skills in making nigiri, and the customer service is excellent. I believe that a restaurant that offers a different approach each time you visit is worth sitting at the counter for. At Yasube, there are always new ideas and it is enjoyable every time you go. It is also good for those who like light dishes. Tuna and white fish are also delicious, of course.

I visited a sushi restaurant to celebrate my friend passing the certified public accountant exam. The restaurant was located near Waseda University, specifically in Nishi-Waseda, near the Meimeibashi Station. I'm not sure why we chose this particular sushi restaurant on Waseda Street, maybe because my friend was going to stay at my place afterwards. The restaurant had good quality ingredients and the sushi was delicious. The sushi chef showed great skill in crafting the sushi. I was told by a regular customer that the chef had placed 2nd in a Tokyo sushi contest. We enjoyed some drinks and snacks before finishing with the sushi. The cost was around 10,000 yen per person, which I think is reasonable. In the Waseda and Takadanobaba area, this restaurant is a good choice, or if you prefer something more upscale, "Home Run Sushi" is another delicious option.
