First, I had three pieces of seared sushi, then fresh squid and seared squid with mayonnaise. Delicious! And the squid is cheap! I'm so happy. I enjoyed a quick meal for 660 yen. It's a convenient place to stop by when you're feeling a bit hungry. I recommend going at off-peak times! Thank you for the meal.

If you're looking for a quick sushi fix, this is the place! I love the seared sushi. The seared squid is especially delicious! There are no long lines of foreign tourists, so if you think that, go for it. You can enjoy a satisfying meal quickly here. How about some sushi for a snack? Thank you for the meal.

This popular restaurant always has a long line, with many foreigners also waiting. Fortunately, there was no line this time, so I was lucky to get in. The seared sushi and grilled eel were incredibly delicious! It's great to casually enjoy sushi alone. The taste and cost performance are definitely worth waiting in line for. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Located on the way to Shinjuku Post Office, behind Yodobashi, after exiting Shinjuku Station West Exit. Visited around 3 pm on a day off. The interior has a standing counter with 10 seats. It was almost full, with a bit of a wait. They offer lunch menus on weekdays and holidays, serving lunch until around 4 or 5 pm. You can order a set of sushi or choose to order piece by piece. This time, I opted for a set and decided to order more if needed. The set of 10 pieces costs less than 1,000 yen and comes with miso soup made with shrimp dashi. I ordered the "Kaede" set (10 pieces of sushi) for 980 yen. On holidays, many people were enjoying sushi with a drink. The sushi pieces were made quickly, with 3 or 4 pieces placed on the counter at a time. The set included a variety of toppings such as tuna, salmon, squid, shrimp, negitoro gunkan, bonito sashimi, mackerel, all of which were of good quality. I also received a free Toro hand roll as a New Year's LINE coupon bonus. With prices starting from 75 yen per piece, it is relatively affordable and offers good quality toppings, making it a convenient place to visit again. They accept payment through QR code payments like PayPay and electronic money.

You can easily enjoy freshly made Edomae sushi. Across the counter, you will be served with fresh toppings and warm sushi rice. I ordered the "Aoi nigiri (10 pieces)" and found the rice slightly firm with a hint of acidity. The toppings were slightly thick, but I thought it was fitting. The variety included sea bream, tuna lean, yellowtail, tuna medium fatty, red shrimp, mackerel, salmon roe, negitoro gunkan, egg, and conger eel. Soup was also included, made with shrimp broth that added a nice aroma. It is said that 200 years ago, sushi was mainly eaten while standing up. I am grateful that the culture of casual standing sushi dining is still being passed down in this Reiwa era. I can only hope that Japan's good food culture will continue to be preserved for the next generation. Thank you for the meal.

Shinjuku Nishiguchi has several sushi restaurants where you can eat easily, but this is my favorite. The price is reasonable for the delicious sushi they serve. Sometimes it's crowded during lunch, but other times it's not so busy. It's a great place to go when you want to eat sushi quickly!

I didn't feel like eating something heavy but I wanted to drink beer, so I found this shop while wandering around. It's located a short walk from Shinjuku Station West Exit, in a narrow alley where electronics stores and restaurants are clustered. Inside, there is a long and narrow space with a row of standing counters. There are many menu items on the wall, and you can order sets or individual pieces (two pieces each). I decided on a beer first and then looked at the set options. I found a great deal of 1,000 yen for a draft beer, four pieces of sushi, and an egg. I ordered this set. The sushi chef made the four pieces right in front of me. I'm not familiar with the names of the types, but the rice was slightly cool, the fish paired well with it, and it was delicious. The egg was sweet and well-rolled. The beer was served in a generous size glass, and I enjoyed the value set. There were many inbound tourists in the area, all enjoying sushi at a great price. Thank you for the meal.

This sushi restaurant was surprisingly good. The sushi chef was a veteran and very skilled at conversation. Sitting at the counter, you can enjoy the interaction with the chef, which is one of the highlights of dining at a sushi counter. It's a standing sushi bar, perfect for enjoying quick sushi alone. The sushi pieces were small yet delicious and reasonably priced. Foreign customers and young couples seemed to be having a great time. I might become a fan of this place. The last order is at 10:40 pm, which is convenient. Thank you for the meal.

From the autumn triple crown to the egg, the green tea high is perfect! I went to a standing sushi bar with the subordinate of the big eater king for a reward night. The counter has about 12 seats, but once you enter, it's already full. The wall is covered with recommended seasonal menu items. The autumn triple crown (saury, salmon, shirasu) was perfectly delicious! The rice portion was a bit generous. Tonight, I wanted to try a variety of things, so I asked for less rice. The golden cutlassfish was excellent. There were two types of eel, white-boiled and regular white-boiled, both delicious. The mackerel with ginger, this one was hand-rolled. The squid with yuzu salt, sardine, salmon roe, and seared scallop were all delicious. The medium fatty tuna was a bit lacking for those who love fatty tuna, but everything else was delicious. The beer was Asahi, and the green tea high was perfectly tasty. It was a night of eating so much that you wouldn't think it was a standing sushi bar experience.

I really wanted to eat sushi, but I didn't have much money or time, so I tried standing sushi for the first time. I ended up eating too much and before I knew it, I had spent over 3000 yen. I'm not sure about the average price of sushi, but I was hoping to spend less, so I slightly regret it...

Today's dinner was quick and delicious standing sushi! Starting with hikari mono, we had aji, kohada, and iwashi. Next up was tsubugai, anago no shiroyaki, ainame, and seared suzuki. And my favorite, fresh saba - so tasty! Then we tried the specialty dish, grilled geso mayo - truly delicious and only 150 yen for 2 pieces! Lastly, we enjoyed uni gunkan, followed by a spicy hand roll with dried daikon and stem wasabi. We finished off with some sake in about 20 minutes, all for 2600 yen. This place is a paradise for salarymen! #StandingSushi #EdomaeSushi #AffordableSushi

Between Yodobashi at Shinjuku West Exit and the post office, there is the familiar Uogashi Nihonichi-san. I love ordering my favorite dishes there, it's delicious and reasonable. I had Galichu, Maguro Steak, Tai no Negi Shio, Kuruma Ebi, Chutoro, and they were all delicious. The Tai no Negi Shio was especially amazing!

The day after New Year's Day. Today's final destination is a traditional Japanese restaurant in Iidabashi, but before that, the plan is to drop off New Year's cards at Shinjuku Post Office and watch a movie in Hibiya. First, for lunch. While wandering around Shinjuku West Exit, I stumbled upon a fish market restaurant. I had the following: Shrimp, Conger eel, Cooked Asari clam sushi, Negitoro sushi, Conger eel and cucumber hand roll, and Negitoro hand roll. It's quick, convenient, and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I am a regular at lunch here. There are three course options, and personally, I always go for the "Aoi" which is equivalent to the middle course. It includes 10 pieces with medium fatty tuna, red shrimp, and salmon roe for only 1,280 yen, which is amazing. The fish pieces are larger compared to conveyor belt sushi, and in terms of taste and cost performance, it can compete with only places like Midori Sushi, right?

It is conveniently located and delicious, so I use it often. I visited for lunch this day! The lunch ranges from 650 yen (9 pieces) to 1,380 yen (13 pieces), and I wanted to order extra, so I chose the smallest 9-piece lunch. They serve 2-3 pieces at a time, freshly made in front of you. Tuna, salmon, squid, cuttlefish, bonito, white fish, egg, tuna yukke, and a special sushi roll! The standard sushi has slightly warm rice and cold toppings of just the right size. Yes, this is it!! Always delicious sushi. In addition, I tried tuna yukke and the special sushi roll for the first time, and they were delicious! Both have a sweet soy sauce flavor, with a little egg yolk on the tuna yukke making it rich. The special sushi roll has various types of fish finely chopped, like a meal you would eat at work! In the end, I was satisfied with the 9 pieces, so I will order more on my next visit! haha Before the pandemic, there were times when it was full of foreign tourists, but recently there are relatively quiet times, making it easy to visit. It's a standing sushi bar, so you can easily stop by when you're a little hungry. Enjoy♪

Today, I revisited a standing sushi restaurant with my child. Due to the state of emergency, they are only open until 8 pm, but we managed to enter and enjoyed sushi to the fullest. Sushi is served in basic units of 2 pieces. This time, we had salted raw fish, squid with yuzu salt, tuna, and fresh squid with innards, all of which were delicious. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. My child was also able to eat a lot of their favorite dishes and seemed satisfied. The counter can accommodate about 6 people at most.

The coupon gave me an extra 2 pieces, so 10 pieces were enough. For the last day of May, I went to a standing sushi bar. It was my third visit to "Uogashi Nihon-Ichi" since March. I ordered the most affordable lunch menu with the LINE coupon that is delivered every week. I got the "Shun (10 pieces)" for ¥850, plus an extra 2 pieces of raw shrimp with the LINE coupon. Today, the rice cooling time seemed short, so the sushi rice was warm, which was a bit disappointing. Well, it's a standing sushi bar, so I guess I can bear with it. Thank you for the meal.

Since August last year, I visited "Uogashi Nihonichi" for the second time and had a standing sushi lunch. This time, I ordered the lunch set along with a LINE coupon. I had the "Uogashi Set (13 pieces)" for ¥980 and used the LINE coupon for 2 pieces of "Negitoro Gunkan." The sushi was served gradually, with 3-4 pieces at a time. This time, they also served pickled ginger, which was missing last time. Since it's a standing style sushi restaurant, it can feel a bit rushed while eating, but that's just how it is. Thank you for the meal.

I tried to eat sushi at the best fish market in Japan. In Tokyo, it has become the top brand for standing sushi. During the pandemic, shops that sell face-to-face at counter like standing sushi are struggling. Some health departments instruct to provide the food in sushi buckets instead of directly to customers due to high risk of infection, which reduces the charm. Here, we thoroughly place splash prevention sheets and partitions, trying to maintain the traditional way of serving, but it feels like eating in a laboratory (laughs). Anyway, I ordered what I wanted to eat one after another. First, three pieces of shellfish and three pieces of hikari. Red clam, scallop, and fresh cockle. Sayori, horse mackerel, sardine, each with high-quality toppings, and please make the rice smaller...I requested and placed the next order. Fresh surf clam, fatty amberjack. Lean bluefin tuna, sharp and well-preserved konoshiro. Squid with mayonnaise, today's recommended eel with wasabi and alternate toppings, finished with kazunoko and sea urchin battleship. The rice here has a strong acidity which I like. There were only two customers, including me, in the shop. I had the chef all to myself. When I placed an order, the dishes were promptly served. When the sushi arrived, I ordered the next one, and when I finished eating, the next dish arrived for ordering...repeat. About 22 pieces were comfortably settled in my stomach in about 10 minutes. By the way, the building where the other standing sushi restaurant near here is located. All other tenants' izakayas have withdrawn. This prime location near Yodobashi Camera is in this state. I have a feeling that it will become even more difficult from now on. Terrible.

At the end of November on a Saturday for lunch, my wife wanted to eat oysters so we went to an oyster bar. However, we couldn't just eat oysters, so we wandered around Shinjuku West Exit in search of some carbs. By the time it was past 2 PM, lunchtime orders were starting to stop. In the midst of this, we stumbled upon "Sushi Uogashi Nihonichi" and decided to go in. Since it was a standing sushi bar, we thought we could quickly eat and leave! My wife, who loves sushi, doesn't mind standing while eating sushi, so we decided to give it a try. Here's what we ordered: - Fresh squid - Tuna red meat - Snow crab sushi - Horse mackerel pickled in vinegar sushi - Golden eye snapper - Live scallop - Fatty tuna roll - Seared squid legs - Tuna red meat The sushi was delicious. The sushi was served in pairs, so we shared them. We also had beer, and the total bill came to 3134 yen for both of us. We spent only 20 minutes in the restaurant, and it was a quick and enjoyable meal.
