Located just a short walk from Hiroo Station, "寿志團" is a restaurant within "THE RESTAURANT" where multiple restaurants are lined up. I heard that this place is produced by the famous restaurant "はっこく", so I immediately made a reservation being the trend follower that I am! Inside the same building, you can find a variety of restaurants offering Mexican cuisine, yakitori, bistro, and more. At "寿志團", they offer two different courses, both consisting of only nigiri sushi. Since I had plans for a second restaurant, I opted for the smaller portion course "白". Every piece of sushi was delicious, but the ones that stood out for me were the "anago", "ebi", and the "firefly squid namerou". The "firefly squid namerou" had a unique texture and flavor that left a lasting impression on me! Considering the quality and location, I think the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely like to visit this place again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Great value for money. Very delicious, but I guess you can't expect more at this price point. The sea urchin looked like it came from a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, which was disappointing. However, I will definitely go back again! The red vinegar was amazing and the temperature was a bit on the high side. The shiny items were also delicious, so I want to go back again soon!

This is my second time visiting. I brought a friend this time because my first experience was really good, but we were seated at a different counter and the sushi chef's technique was sloppy, causing the rice to fall apart. The sushi was served too quickly, almost as if they were rushing us to leave. Even though we weren't finished, more dishes kept coming out. We tried to mention that it was too fast, but they didn't seem to care. There was a photo of a hand roll with salmon roe on the menu, and even though we didn't order it, it was served to us. I love salmon roe and wanted to savor it, but I had no choice but to eat it. My friend even joked that my taste buds must have dulled. It was a tough experience. Since it depends on the sushi chef, I recommend requesting to be seated at the head chef's counter when making a reservation.

Just a minute walk from Hiroo Station, located within the complex facility "Eat Play Works," is "Jyushidan," a casual sushi restaurant that is a new concept from Ginza's "Hakkoku." I made a last-minute reservation for a visit after my evening plans fell through. The omakase sushi course comes in two options: White for 3,500 yen (9 pieces of sushi, rolls, soup) and Black for 5,800 yen (12 premium pieces of sushi, soup) - note that the black course now has one less roll compared to before. The quality and price of the sushi were satisfactory, with highlights including sea bream, kelp-cured bonito, and marinated yellowtail. The total bill, including beer and additional items, came to 7,760 yen. Overall, it was a reasonable and casual way to enjoy Edo-style sushi from Hakkoku. Thank you for the meal!

This day, I went to Sushi Bar Kazoku in Ginza, a restaurant produced by the famous chef Hakkoku. The atmosphere is casual and the sushi is reasonably priced, yet it still maintains the traditional Edo-style preparation with delicious vinegared rice. For 12 pieces at 5800 yen, it's a great deal to enjoy authentic sushi in Hiroo. The seared golden eye snapper was especially amazing. We also tried a few rolls as appetizers, and they were all delicious. The staff was polite and provided great service, making it a pleasant dining experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited for Sunday lunch at 1:30 pm and it was not crowded. I had reserved the 5,800 yen course and it was delicious. The sushi was top-notch, with great ingredients and skills. I had a couple of drinks and the total cost was around 7,000 yen per person, which is quite reasonable for Hiroo area. I heard that only half of the seats are reserved, so it might be a good option for a second stop.

I was curious about this place, and the price of the visit often equals the taste and quality, and it was the same here. It was cheap. I had Hidaka Ken (Junmai) from Miyagi and Jinkame (Junmai) from Saitama, both dry. I opted for the smaller course (which was a good choice) so it was a short stay, but now let's move on to the next place.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is casual, located in a restaurant district right near Hiroo Station, so the threshold is lower compared to high-end sushi restaurants. Due to the location and atmosphere, there are many foreign customers. It is recommended because you can easily ask for recommendations from the staff as you order at the counter. There are not many appetizers, so it's more about eating sushi while drinking. The staff speak English fluently, so it's easy to bring foreign friends to enjoy sushi.

I made a reservation a month ago. It seems like you can get in without a reservation even on weekends if you go early. I had reserved the black course for 5,800 yen, so I started with that. Honestly, the first few pieces were disappointing as the rice and fish didn't match well, and the fish was salty... However, the botan shrimp and firefly squid namero, isaki, and anago were delicious. There were some pieces that I found tasty. The botan shrimp was so good that I ordered it again, but for some reason, it was salty and not delicious the second time... Maybe it depends on the chef... The speed of service was also very fast, almost like they wanted us to eat quickly and leave, so we ended up being rushed out in an hour... Hmm. The price is cheap, and considering it's in Hiroo, it might be somewhat understandable, but I don't think I will visit again.

I am completely satisfied that I can eat these sushi at this price! The vinegared rice with a touch of red vinegar really enhances the toppings. The scallops just melt in your mouth. You can either enjoy a quick bite and move on to other restaurants, or savor some sake slowly. This place has become a memorable spot for me. There are also many celebrity signatures, making it a hidden gem in Hiroo.

The best value sushi. I've been there about 3 times. They have an omakase course, but I always order a la carte. The rice is just right, and no matter how much I eat, I never get full because all the toppings are too delicious!

Located near my workplace and always catching my eye, I finally had the chance to visit. Perhaps due to the combination of Hiroo and sushi, there seemed to be a lot of foreign customers. The shari (sushi rice) is a reddish-brown color due to the use of red vinegar. I imagined the taste to be strong based on the color, but it was actually gentle and enhanced the flavor of the toppings without overpowering them. I ordered the omakase sushi set (12 pieces of sushi, rolls, and a soup) to start. Each piece was served in pairs, starting with 1) gizzard shad and flounder marinated in kelp, 2) ark shell and bonito, 3) firefly squid and button shrimp marinated in kelp, 4) lean tuna and medium fatty tuna, 5) sea urchin and young sea bream marinated in cherry blossoms, 6) conger eel and yellowtail, 7) fatty tuna roll and tamagoyaki (egg omelette), 8) miso soup. They were all delicious, but I would like to comment on a few that I particularly enjoyed. Firefly squid: I wasn't a fan before, but the texture was so smooth and creamy that it was very easy to eat and delicious. Button shrimp: I love shrimp, so this was a hit. The texture was firm and perfect. The shrimp miso on top was a nice accent. Sea urchin: Not at all fishy, with a rich and creamy flavor. Young sea bream marinated in cherry blossoms: My personal favorite! The sea bream was in season and the subtle scent of cherry blossoms matched perfectly. It was like a sushi version of sakura mochi. After the course, I ordered mackerel and salmon roe sushi individually. Both were delicious. I had beer and the sake "Kamikame" as drinks. The staff were very polite and friendly, even to a first-time visitor like me, which left a good impression. I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance.

Visited with high expectations as it is the second line of a famous restaurant. The ark shell and firefly squid were quite delicious, but the steamed shrimp we added was rather underwhelming in taste. Perhaps it's a matter of setting the right expectations - when not compared to upscale restaurants, it's actually not bad if you think of it as town sushi. Flounder kombu-shime, cured mackerel, ark shell, bonito, sweet shrimp with kombu, firefly squid, medium fatty tuna, lean tuna, sea bream, yellowtail with sansho pepper, enoki mushrooms, red miso soup, sea urchin, conger eel, rolled omelette, additional steamed shrimp, gourd roll.

You can enjoy sushi at the counter with good cost performance and in a casual atmosphere at Hakkoku, which is in the same group. The tuna was delicious as expected! The medium fatty tuna melted in my mouth. They also served botan shrimp, ark shell, bonito, and eel. The ikura (additional order) had yuzu on top. It would have been even better if they had one more dish on the menu.

Great cost performance♡ The hospitality of the chef is top-notch ⭐︎⭐︎⭐︎ The dishes are delicious and the sushi rice has a strong presence, creating a well-balanced sushi experience. I would love to come back for a luxurious lunch treat. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited the restaurant with my boss (who is from Hong Kong) to let him experience the "cheap and delicious" of Japan. I chose this restaurant because I had heard about it when researching sushi restaurants before, and after some investigation, I thought this place would be a safe bet. I made a reservation three days in advance, just to be sure. The restaurant is located at the back of a building, away from the area where small shops are clustered together. It's quite a unique setup. The menu has English translations, which is helpful because fish names can be difficult. There are two types of omakase sushi sets: "White" with 9 pieces of nigiri, rolls, and soup for 3,500 yen, and "Black" with 12 pieces of nigiri, rolls, and soup for 5,800 yen. My boss ordered the "Black" set, so I followed suit. The contents of the "Black" set that day were as follows: fluke marinated in kombu, gizzard shad, bonito, ark shell, botan shrimp marinated in kombu (topped with shrimp miso), medium fatty tuna, red snapper, marinated amberjack, golden-eye snapper, sea urchin and salmon roe mini rice bowl, conger eel, rolls, red miso soup, and tamago. The restaurant uses red vinegar rice and serves the sushi without soy sauce. After finishing the course, both of us had some room left in our stomachs, so my boss ordered natto rolls and anakyu rolls, while I ordered scallop and horse mackerel. The natto rolls my boss ordered had a similar appearance to the red vinegar rice, making them quite intriguing. We only saw sparkling sake on the menu, but when we asked, they also had regular sparkling wine. We ended the meal with a toast with my boss and some sake! It was a wonderful time with delicious sushi and tasty sake. Thank you for the meal.

[Visit] February 6, 2023 (Monday) 11:30 [Location] 1-minute walk from Hiroo Station [Reservation] I made a reservation the day before, and luckily there was an available spot. However, when I arrived at the restaurant on the day, it was full and they had to turn away new customers. [Order] Chef's choice sushi (black): 5,800 yen x 2 Total: 11,600 yen I suddenly felt like having sushi, so I searched for a restaurant in Hiroo where I live that had availability for the next day. I came across Sushidan, and upon further research, I found out that it is produced by Hiroshi Sato from "Hakkoku," which got me excited. It is located just a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hiroo Station on the Hibiya Line, inside a slightly upscale food court facility called EAT PLAY WORKS. The restaurant is located at the back of the first floor, so it might be a bit confusing to find for first-time visitors. The menu offers two options: Chef's choice sushi for 3,300 yen and Chef's choice sushi for 5,800 yen. This time, I ordered the latter. The course included small skin, marinated sea bream, bonito with green onion, ark shell, peony shrimp, foie gras, lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, seared golden eye snapper, sea urchin, marinated yellowtail with sansho pepper, conger eel, and toro hand roll. The combination of red vinegar rice and the chef's special selection of toppings was amazing! Getting to enjoy all of this for less than 6,000 yen per person may be a revolution in the sushi industry. With the increasing difficulty of making reservations at popular restaurants, the relatively easy reservation process and the ability to impulsively visit this restaurant are also major advantages. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

On 12/25 (Sun), I visited Jyushidan in Hiroo Ginza, which is like a casual version of a high-end sushi restaurant where you can easily spend 40,000 yen per person. As a commoner, this already feels luxurious to me. I ordered the "Kuro" omakase nigiri for 5,800 yen, which included 12 pieces of nigiri, rolls, and soup in the following order: 1. Kohada 2. Hirame 3. Katsuo 4. Botan Ebi with kombu 5. Ankimo 6. Miso soup 7. Honmaguro Akami 8. Chutoro 9. Kinmedai 10. Simmered clams 11. Uni and ikura donburi 12. Buri zuke 13. Toro hand roll 14. Anago 15. Tamago. The hirame had an incredibly smooth texture, the katsuo had a perfect balance of topping and rice, and the kombu-infused botan ebi was a first for me. The crispy skin of the kinmedai was delightful, and the simmered clams released a savory flavor with each bite. Uni and ikura need no explanation, and the buri zuke had a complex flavor with a hint of sansho pepper. The Toro hand roll was incredibly delicious and the anago was exceptionally fluffy. The meticulous preparation and craftsmanship of the sushi truly made it delicious. It was a blissful moment.

Ginza Hakkoku-san's casual sushi restaurant "Sushidan" reopened on October 11th after a long closure from July to September. This time, the menu had more sushi options available for à la carte ordering. You can order a course meal and add on extra items if needed. [Items we had this time] Chef's choice nigiri "black" 5,800 yen 12 pieces of nigiri, rolls, soup - Kohada - Hirame - Katsuo - Botan ebi - Konbu shime - Kinmedai - Ankimo - Akami-zuke - Chu-toro - Hokkigai - Uni - Saba-zuke - Sanma - Toro-taku roll - Anago - Tamago - Miso soup - Premium Malt's beer 750 yen [Additional items] - Aji 330 yen - Hotate 440 yen - Ikura 550 yen - Kanpei roll 550 yen The casual yet high-quality Hakkoku experience offers a great balance of texture, sweetness, and flavor. Even after enjoying all these dishes, the bill was just under 8,000 yen! It's truly amazing. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had some errands to run around this area, so I made a reservation and stopped by. The restaurant is located in a stylish alleyway called EAT PLAY WORKS, surrounded by many other shops. They offer two types of omakase courses. The highlight of this place is the sushi rice seasoned with red vinegar, which enhances the flavor. The ingredients were carefully prepared and all tasted delicious, especially the flounder and golden eye snapper. The seasoning added a nice touch to each piece of sushi. I think it's a great choice for lunch when you're craving sushi.

Sushi Dan is a casual sushi restaurant located in the EAT PLAY WORKS complex, which is part of the popular Hakkoku series of sushi restaurants in Hiroo. EAT PLAY WORKS is a trendy food court where you can enjoy popular restaurants in a casual setting. Sushi Dan has 12 counter seats, and they only accept cashless payments. We ordered the omakase sushi course, which comes in two options - the black course for ¥5,500. The sushi rice has a nice tangy flavor from red vinegar and a firm texture. The highlights of the meal were the Pacific saury, fatty tuna, tuna, shrimp marinated in kelp, and sea urchin. Considering the quality of the sushi, the price is quite reasonable. They accept reservations for both weekdays and weekends, and the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. They offer only the omakase sushi course for ¥3,300 or ¥5,500. The restaurant has 12 counter seats, no private rooms, no parking, and is entirely non-smoking. #SushiDan #HirooGourmet #HirooLunch #Sushi #TokyoSushi #SushiLovers #Foodies #Foodstagram #GourmetTravel #FoodieFriends #FoodBlogger #FoodieLife #FoodPhotography #GourmetReport #FoodWriter #BClassGourmet #TokyoFood
