Taste: Steamed egg custard with oysters topped with scallops, rock oysters with grated daikon and green onion, black surf clams, white surf clams, surf clams, squid, gizzard shad, pan-fried transfer grunts with a crispy coating and served with a spicy plum vinegar tartar sauce, corn soup, abalone with saltwater sea urchin and salmon roe (this type of sauce is unbeatable; the gentle flavors of abalone and sea urchin blend together, while the acidity of the salmon roe bursts forth, followed by the sweetness of the sea urchin, allowing you to savor the umami of the abalone at the end) Price: 14,000 yen per person.

Between Shinagawa and Kamata, just a short walk from Omori Station, a new restaurant will open in 2024. Here, you can fully enjoy the famous "Fujita Maguro" (Fujita Tuna), along with a wide variety of seasonal dishes that change throughout the year. It's commonly known as a great value spot. During this autumn-to-winter transition, you can savor dishes like a mushroom soup fragrant with matsutake mushrooms and grilled salmon roe sushi. The experience culminates in an impressive array of Fujita tuna dishes, followed by their signature "Tsukudani" rolls and freshly made warabi mochi for dessert. You will thoroughly enjoy a satisfying time both in quality and quantity!

Located just a short distance from Omori Station in a covered shopping arcade, "Sushi-dokoro Shishi" quietly stands out. This restaurant utilizes the "Fujita Tuna," often referred to as the elusive tuna. The location is about a 3-minute walk from JR Omori Station, situated in the arcade called Milpa. After climbing the steep stairs of the building, you will find this establishment. As you proceed through the entrance and down the corridor, you’ll be greeted by a simple and calming space featuring a wooden counter that seats only nine, illuminated by gray walls. The owner and two staff members work together seamlessly. The menu consists solely of an omakase course. On Tabelog, there are typically two course options available, and I opted for the most popular standard course. What I experienced is detailed below: "Omakase Course - 8,800 yen" - Chawanmushi with soybean and ikura - White eggplant with onion ponzu - Cooked tuna sinew in a jelly - Dashi-maki tamago - Squid - Japanese sandfish - Sweet shrimp - Red clam - Sweet boiled red clam liver - Snow crab croquette - Lean tuna - Marinated tuna - Medium fatty tuna - Five mushroom dobin-mushi - Striped jack - Young horse mackerel - Flatfish - Small bowl of stockfish - Sakekasu soup - Sea eel - Tsukudani roll - Warabi mochi and vanilla ice cream Beverages: - Bottle of beer / Akaboshi medium bottle - Chiyo no Hikari Hiyaki / Chiyo no Hikari Sake Brewery (Niigata, Myoko City) - Ayumasa Junmai Sake / Ayumasa Sake Brewery (Niigata, Myoko City) - Sabineko Rock Gin-Sabi / Inomata Sake Brewery (Niigata, Itoigawa City) *All served in half a go, significantly enhancing the cost performance. The Fujita Tuna truly shines in this establishment! The owner primarily prepares the sushi, while the assistant staff brings out the starters. Despite being a standard course, there were about seven appetizers, each presented with a unique twist. The chawanmushi at the beginning uses soybean, topped with low-temperature-cooked ikura, setting the stage for a delightful experience. This was my first encounter with Fujita Tuna through the cooked jelly. The croquette featured snow crab combined with uni and crab miso, topped with a paprika sauce, creating an enjoyable layering of flavors. The sushi included about 12 pieces, and the portion sizes were small and easy to eat. The sushi rice, sweet and flavorful, provided a soft sourness that highlights the toppings, intended to dissolve rather than be chewed. Among the sushi, the tuna’s presence is unmistakable. In the middle of the course, I was treated to a burst of red, marinated, and medium fatty tuna, thoroughly enjoyable. The thick slices of red fish, with a hint of iron scent, melted gently in my mouth, offering rich umami. The marinated sushi was incredibly sweet, and its flavor increased with every bite. Following that, the medium fatty tuna had a delicate texture that gently caressed the palate. The nuanced sweetness combined with the rice's acidity created an exquisite taste, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. The tuna's year-round flavor and core essence were beautifully highlighted in the experience at Sushi-dokoro Shishi. Interestingly, the sweet shrimp, a product of the owner's pride from Niigata, elevated the meal with its umami flavor, enhanced by dipping in shrimp miso. Furthermore, the impressive selection of sake includes about 30 different types of shochu and boasts a robust line of Niigata sake without being fixed, offering something new with each visit. We concluded the meal with freshly made warabi mochi and vanilla ice cream, culminating in a satisfactory experience. The 8,800 yen course was incredibly fulfilling, leaving a strong impression of the tuna's deliciousness, as expected. The next level of course offers even more dishes, promising an extensive experience. By incorporating local ingredients and specialties from Niigata, the sushi restaurant exudes its unique character. After gaining experience in traditional Japanese cuisine and kaiseki in Europe, the owner opened "Sushi-dokoro Shishi" upon returning to Japan. This is a place to look forward to, leveraging its individuality for future success. □ Sushi-dokoro Shishi Location: 1-10-10 Omori Kita, Ota-ku, Tokyo, 2nd Floor Phone: 03-6625-8306 Hours: 17:00-22:30 Closed: Sundays, public holidays, and irregular days Duration: Approximately 2 hours Total bill: 12,540 yen (tax included) Reservation: Online reservation via Tabelog a day in advance.

I believe this is a hidden gem. I recently went to "Fujita's Tuna and Shellfish Extravaganza," which is a limited menu offered once a month. The location is just a short walk from Omori Station. The unique local dishes from Niigata and the variety of shellfish delivered directly from Hokkaido were exquisite. I definitely want to go back for this special monthly event.

I was curious about a restaurant where I could enjoy tuna from Fujita Suisan, so I invited a friend and made a reservation to check it out! It’s conveniently located near Omori Station, on the second floor of a building. The spacious counter was inviting. We opted for the 8800 yen omakase course and started with a plum wine from Mumeya in Odawara, which the chef recommended, followed by some sake! Here’s the course content: - Tofu and bean tea steamed egg custard - White eggplant with onion ponzu - Dashimaki tamago (Japanese omelette) - Squid - Meichi sea bream - Red striped shrimp with shrimp shells - Hokkigai (surf clam) - Snow crab cream croquette with sea urchin, crab miso, and butter - Lean tuna - Fatty tuna - Kohada (gizzard shad) - Corn puree - Plum vinegar with Bōzuginpo (a type of fish) - Anago (conger eel) - Sake lees soup - Tsukudani (preserved food) - Freshly made warabi mochi (bracken starch cake, can be added) - Mumeya's white umeboshi (pickled plum) sushi Each dish was delicate and incredibly delicious! And of course, Fujita-san's tuna is top-notch! I’m truly grateful to be able to enjoy it at such a reasonable price (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎). The crab cream croquette, one of my favorites, was like a dream—absolutely the best (*´﹃｀*)♡ The chef is from Niigata and uses a lot of ingredients from there, and he has also spent many years abroad, so he seems to be quite fluent in languages (ㅅ´꒳` ). The atmosphere is very homey, and it’s easy to make a reservation, which is a big plus (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ I feel like this place might become hard to book soon, but I’m thrilled to have found such a great cost-effective spot! I’m looking forward to trying the tuna-only course next time! Thank you for a wonderful meal! ♡

Fresh toppings and perfectly cooked sushi rice. A variety of side dishes that you wouldn't typically find at a sushi restaurant, including fried foods and desserts. The interiors are clean and calm, with friendly staff. A wide selection of sake from Niigata, and they also offer Yamazaki and Hakushu whiskies. This is an adult sushi restaurant where you would want to frequently bring your loved ones.

I had a wonderful course meal! The ingredients from Niigata Prefecture and Hokkaido were abundant, and the sake was locally produced in Niigata! The balance between the snacks and the sushi was just right, making it a delightful experience. The sake flask was unique and adorable! The tuna was exquisite. The dessert was a homemade tea pudding with a subtle sweetness! I would love to visit again!

A newly opened sushi restaurant in Omori, with the highlight being the use of tuna from Fujita Suisan! The selection of sake from Niigata was impressive. On this day, I made a same-day reservation and opted for the appetizer-focused menu plus a sushi course with 5 pieces for 7700 yen. It started with ankimo (monkfish liver), followed by tasty small dishes like miso-marinated salmon roe that pair well with sake. Since there were only 5 pieces of sushi, I definitely plan to return for a more substantial sushi meal. I'm looking forward to this restaurant's future! However, due to the layout, the laughter from the adjacent bar was quite loud, which was disappointing for the counter sushi experience. I hope they can improve the soundproofing!

I visited a restaurant located on the second floor of an arcade near Omori Station for the first time. Upon entering, I was greeted by a quiet, comfortable atmosphere. Although it was a course meal, each dish was made with great care, and the tuna from Fujita was exquisite! The other dishes and sushi matched its quality. The staff provided subtle yet attentive service, making the experience feel quick and enjoyable. I thought the portions might be small, but I was pleasantly surprised; by the time I finished the dessert, I was full. The restaurant has nine counter seats, and I was grateful to share the timing with another guest.

I discovered a new sushi place in my area and was able to secure a reservation by calling on the same day. However, they only offer the 7700 yen course. The dishes provided may change daily and include items like marinated salmon roe, simmered butter clam, grilled surf clam, grilled new ginger, gari (pickled ginger), Japanese-style sweet potato, flounder, dried horse mackerel, fried horse mackerel, common squid, red sea bream, medium fatty tuna, red shrimp, shrimp powder, mackerel roll, and soup. It's not cheap, but given the atmosphere, it doesn't feel overly expensive either. This is a place I would like to visit again!

A limited-time sushi course for 8,800 yen that allows you to enjoy a quick meal in about an hour. The course includes: Aori squid, Kinmedai (golden eye snapper), Akashima shrimp, Atka mackerel, sakura salmon, marinated red tuna, medium fatty tuna, saltwater sea urchin, red shell clam, eel, miso soup (made with today's fish bones and shrimp heads), and a thin roll (with monkfish liver and dried gourd). For dessert, there's a black tea pudding served with black syrup.

I visited a sushi restaurant called Shishi for the first time. It seems the chef trained in Japan and then worked as a freelancer in Germany. His background is quite interesting as he hails from Niigata. I ordered a course that included appetizers and sushi. The appetizers were quite tasty, and the pudding at the end was amazing. However, the sushi itself was somewhat disappointing. The tuna didn't have the usual depth of flavor that Fujita's tuna typically does, and the grilled eel lacked that rich, braised flavor. The recommended ankimo roll didn't quite work for me; I think the ankimo was tastier on its own.

Recently, I visited a sushi restaurant called "Shishi" and tried the 8,800 yen sushi-only course along with the limited-quantity grilled kama toro. The atmosphere inside was quiet and soothing, and I was impressed by the way the chef skillfully prepared the sushi. The order of the sushi included: squid, red snapper, deep-sea clam, barracuda, horse mackerel, red meat (fatty tuna), medium fatty tuna, red striped shrimp (with the shell on), vinegar-marinated sardine, simmered scallop, sea water sea urchin, conger eel, a sushi roll with minced tuna and sea water sea urchin, and finally, a black tea pudding for dessert. The red meat and medium fatty tuna from Fujita were particularly fresh and delicious. The rice was seasoned with a subtle mix of rice vinegar and red vinegar, which enhanced the flavors of the toppings with a refreshing taste. Overall, I enjoyed the fresh ingredients and attentive service, but I didn't feel as moved as I had hoped. However, given that it’s a restaurant in Tokyo offering a chef's choice course featuring Fujita tuna for under 10,000 yen, the cost performance is certainly impressive.

I was invited to a friend's birthday celebration. I'm so happy to see that a wonderful sushi restaurant has opened in the old shopping district, where there used to be a tapioca shop. I didn't know the price per person since it was treated as a treat. In the first photo, the liver rillettes-like appetizer that was served first was incredibly delicious and really got me enjoying the drinks. In the second photo, the sushi had a smaller rice portion and all the flavors were refined. The squid, shrimp, and red clam were especially good. In the third and fourth photos, there was a wide variety of sake, and I felt like there were many brands I wasn't familiar with. The sake decanters and cups were well-suited to the concept of each sake, which was nice to see.

I enjoyed the opening special price course for 8,000 yen. The value for money is incredibly high. I strongly hope they continue to offer this price range. The sushi restaurant is adjacent to the bar, and since they share the kitchen, you can enjoy the sushi restaurant's rich snacks and dishes at the bar as well.

The restaurant has a clean and pleasant atmosphere, and the friendliness of the artisans made it a relaxing and enjoyable time for the three of us women. The owner was very kind and approachable, sharing various insights while we savored our meal. With only nine counter seats, the setting was quiet and allowed us to enjoy a leisurely time. There were customers who couldn’t be seated because it was fully booked that day, so I recommend making a reservation. We enjoyed the 16-item course for 8000 yen, which offered great cost performance and left us extremely satisfied. Although I don’t drink much, I learned that the owner sources unique sake from his hometown in Niigata that pairs well with sushi, so those who enjoy drinks can look forward to that. The owner’s meticulous craftsmanship was evident in each dish. The first dish was ankimo (monkfish liver), which was strained and blended with butter and sake lees, making it incredibly smooth, rich, and delicious. The fried white eggplant had a slightly crispy skin and a creamy interior, which paired wonderfully with onions and ponzu sauce. The hot dashi omelet was fluffy and tasty. The aori ika (squid) was finely cut and had a soft, sticky texture that was accented beautifully by the salt. The sushi rice, a mix of red vinegar and rice vinegar, was delicious and to my liking. The hot cream croquette topped with sea urchin and crab miso butter, served with a bell pepper sauce, was a truly luxurious dish. The tuna from Fujita Suisan, which is said to be rare, can only be enjoyed at this price point in Omori. The boiled scallop and eel sushi, as well as the saltwater sea urchin and tuna rolls, were also exceptional. For dessert, the Earl Grey pudding with black sugar syrup had an unmatched creamy smoothness and a rich flavor of Earl Grey that was simply delightful. The combination with the sweet black syrup was perfect. I definitely want to return to this restaurant. Thank you for the meal!

A sushi restaurant that just opened in Oomori in May. As a special opening offer, they provide four appetizers, eight pieces of sushi, and a dessert for 8000 yen. They also have tuna from Fujita Suisan, making it an incredible value for the price. I heard that the head chef was involved in the launch of Sushi Y in Azabu. There's also a bar next door, creating a new concept for the restaurant, and I'm excited to see how it develops in the future. Thank you for the meal!

I was hoping for more tuna, so I was a bit disappointed that there was only one piece in the course. I chose a cheaper course since it was my first time there, and I feel like that was a mistake, leaving me somewhat unsatisfied. Overall, I think the dishes were carefully prepared and delicious. I don't usually go to Omori, but if I have the chance to go again, I would consider it.

It was delicious! Both the sushi and the side dishes were carefully crafted, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail. It's a valuable addition to Ōmori, and I will definitely visit again.

The sake master served an exceptional selection of side dishes and sushi that paired perfectly with the sake. The quality exceeded my expectations. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
