I have never felt like I wanted to eat sea urchin so much in my life that I would say "I'm tired of it." When I looked it up in Tokyo, there were a few places where you could try different types of sea urchin for around 50,000 to 60,000 yen, but it didn't feel right to me. A friend suggested, "Isn't it best to just eat sea urchin sushi here, as much as you want?" so I made a reservation online four months ago. The restaurant is called "Miko Sushi." I arrived at a certain location in Tokyo at 2:00 PM with my friend. Suppressing my excitement, we entered the restaurant and we were the last group. There were already two elderly couples and a couple who had recently gotten married, making a total of six people including us. The place was not spacious at all, but just the thought of being able to eat as much sushi as I wanted here made me excited. After sitting down, we were given hot towels and chose our drinks. The drink options were simple: bottled beer, small bottle of sake, shochu, plum wine, highball, all priced at 550 yen each. A bottle of sparkling wine was priced at 10,000 yen. We started with a beer each and made a toast. The owner asked if we wanted a course menu or if we wanted to choose our favorites. We decided to go with a la carte because we were determined to try all the sea urchin varieties available. The first items served were shiny fish, starting with horse mackerel for 330 yen, followed by white shrimp for 550 yen, salmon roe for 550 yen, and round clam for 550 yen. The horse mackerel paired perfectly with grated onion on top, and my friend was impressed by the quality. The white shrimp was sweet and had a nice texture. The salmon roe was rich and flavorful, making us smile with each bite. The round clam had a unique crunchiness and was a must-order item. After enjoying the luxurious sushi to a certain extent, we moved on to the main event: the "Uni Paradise." This specialty of the day allowed us to enjoy sea urchin sourced from various places around the world. We had reserved this experience four months in advance. At least three types of sea urchin were guaranteed, and the exact number would be a surprise on the day of our visit. When we asked the owner how many types of sea urchin there were, he replied, "There are many!" Sea urchins from Canada, America, and the highly anticipated "Hokkaido Murakami Shoten" were laid out in front of us. There were seven varieties of sea urchin, and the sight of them made my excitement soar. Each type was explained to us, and the owner skillfully crafted sushi for us with each one. We ordered them all at once and they were stacked in front of us like a game of Mahjong. We were thrilled to try each type of sea urchin, and for 6,000 yen, it felt like a steal. The differences between Murasaki sea urchin and Bafun sea urchin surprised us, and we savored each one amateurishly. Personally, the Hokkaido Murakami Shoten sea urchin was the clear winner. It was truly amazing. We paired the sea urchin with "Ushu Homare," a Japanese sake with a balance of sweetness and richness that tickled our senses. We also compared fatty tuna and medium fatty tuna, and the experience was truly delightful.

I made a reservation on the internet for the first time. It was difficult to find the place because it is located on top of a mixed-use building and Google Maps is not very accurate. I wondered why it was located in such a place. I thought the young but seemingly difficult owner and the plain-looking wife were a couple, but it turns out the woman was sent from the main office and they are not a couple at all. The vinegar used for the sushi rice is red vinegar, but it is not very tasty as the vinegar flavor is weak. However, the fish and sea urchin are delicious! Just for that, I think this place is good! I tried all the sushi toppings, tasted six different types of sea urchin, and finished with a natto roll, feeling satisfied. I had a small bottle of beer, a highball, a shochu mixed with water, and two glasses of sake! The total bill came out to 16,000 yen per person, surprisingly expensive!

It took about 3 minutes to arrive from Uchimonguchi in Shinbashi. It's a small shop, the building is old but the interior is clean. Choose your own order or omakase? I chose omakase. The dishes come out at a good pace. The fish is already prepared but the searing is done just before serving. There were 6 types of sea urchin towards the end. You can choose as many types as you like, but around 3 varieties seemed appropriate as they all had their own unique flavors. The last soup was a bit bland. It lacked the aroma of seaweed... a bit disappointing. The fish was delicious, but the rice was slightly warm and a bit dry, the seaweed lacked aroma and wasn't crispy. It was sad that the sushi wasn't explained beyond just the type of fish. It may seem like a good value at first glance, but considering the atmosphere inside, it felt a bit pricey. The service was neither particularly good nor bad. Some customers were having a good time. I thought it would be nice if there were some interactions like asking where customers are from or if they are on vacation. I'll try ordering the select items next time. I think the select items offer good value.

The address is not disclosed. I was able to make a reservation for the afternoon, so I ordered 10 pieces with 2 pieces of sea urchin. They offered a variety of options including squid, bluefin tuna, medium fatty tuna, amberjack, farmed red sea bream, horse mackerel, sweet shrimp, scallop, marinated mackerel, sea urchin, red clam, white shrimp, and sea urchin from Rebun Island. I also tried different types of sea urchin available that day. I enjoyed the meal with Japanese sake and a snowmelt from Oze, Gunma Prefecture, and Dragon Black from Hyogo Prefecture.

I came with high expectations based on reviews from others, but the result was as expected. The main reason was that I couldn't enjoy my meal comfortably. I ordered each dish separately, but I was asked to order all at once, which I understood, however, there was no explanation given for the dishes provided. The drinks were also provided without any explanation. This kind of service attitude does not match the rating. Although the sushi rice with red vinegar was delicious, there were too many disappointing aspects, such as serving it warm. It's a shame because the quality of the ingredients and the cost performance are good. I hope for improvements. I thought it was difficult to make a reservation because the number of seats was limited, but I believe I will not go there again.

I used the lunch menu. It was a nice sushi restaurant where you can order individual items. The slightly warm sushi rice was a downside, but overall I was very satisfied. Personally, I thought the squid was the most delicious. It's great that drinks are all 500 yen each.

I tried a variety of sushi at this restaurant, skipping the natto roll. The squid with salt and seared red snapper were good. The amberjack with vinegar was tasty, and the lean tuna was deliciously sweet. The medium fatty tuna was also very flavorful. The horse mackerel was refreshing, and the seared mackerel was perfectly done. The ark shell and scallop were both tasty, and the hand-delivered shrimp was delicious. The steamed shrimp and ikura were both very good. The sea urchin paradise was a mix of different types of sea urchin, all of which were tasty. The warm conger eel was flavorful with a touch of salt and sudachi. The fatty tuna hand roll was delicious. The clam soup with cold chrysanthemum sake was a nice addition. Adding extra lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, and ikura was worth it, as they were all delicious. I would love to eat this selection of sushi again. The total bill was 13,860 yen, and payment by cash was not accepted but Rakuten Pay was. The total cost without the natto roll was 11,660 yen. I canceled the natto roll and added extra lean tuna and medium fatty tuna, which cost 1,100 yen. The drinks were 550 yen each, totaling 1,100 yen. I skipped the expensive red clam, but I might try the sea urchin next time as it's hard to judge without tasting it.

This is a restaurant in Shinbashi with a secret address. When you make a reservation, you receive an email with the address. You can choose to leave it to the chef or order your favorite items. I chose to order my favorite items, which included squid, red snapper, horse mackerel, medium fatty tuna, sea urchin, and scallops, among others. The Toro Taku hand roll was particularly delicious, and they even added sea urchin to it. I had three drinks, and the total cost for one person was 8,000 yen. It was a great value for authentic sushi. With only 7 counter seats, it was a cozy and enjoyable experience with a sense of camaraderie with other customers. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This store seems to have two craftsmen taking turns to work, but the one on Thursdays is the worst. When we had a reservation for a private party starting at 7 pm, my friend who arrived first was asked, "Do you know the seating order?" And to top it off, when my friend, who didn't hear the explanation, asked again, the response was, "Do you understand Japanese?" The humor aside, I couldn't help but feel a similarity to Big Motor in the state of a company that would have someone who can't even use polite language working in the kitchen.

Why is the star rating so high? The sushi rice was packed too tightly and didn't seem like it was made by a skilled craftsman. One of the menu items was called Uni Paradise, and when I ordered it, I was shown a box with about 7 pieces of uni inside, with only a brief explanation of Hokkaido and Russian sea urchins. In the end, the chef himself admitted to not really understanding it, which was disappointing. It would have been nice if they had made the experience a bit more enjoyable. It seems like some people are giving high ratings not based on the taste of the sushi, but just to brag about being able to make a reservation at a difficult-to-book restaurant. I appreciate that the place has a hidden gem vibe and that all drinks are a flat rate of 550 yen.

This day, I made a reservation through LINE for lunch at a recent restaurant. It was located on the second floor of an old building, which was a bit hard to find despite being close to Shinbashi Station. It seems to be part of a group of businesses in the Shinbashi area, including massage and dining establishments. The restaurant was about the size of a six-mat room, and if they do their preparation here, it's quite impressive. The sushi rice was soft and not sour, and the cost performance was excellent. The dishes included squid, red snapper, amberjack, sweet tuna, lean tuna, marinated mackerel, red clam, seared scallop, salmon roe, and a comparison of sea urchin from Russia, Miyagi, and Hokkaido. The eel was too soft when seared, and the fatty tuna hand roll was too cold. The clam soup with clams was also served.

Tonight's main event is a comparison of 6 different types of sea urchin ❤️ at Miko Sushi in Shinbashi, Tokyo. This hidden gem is a reservation-only restaurant with only 7 counter seats. It's my first visit and I'm having the chef's choice course. Uni paradise! Great value for money, cashless payments only. If you love gourmet food, sake, or sea urchin, let's connect!

I skipped work and happened to get a reservation, so I went. The address is sent in an email after making a reservation, which is quite confusing. The restaurant is quite small. The menu is basically the same every day, but there are some items not listed. It is said to be cost-effective, and indeed the prices are reasonable. The delicious dishes were the amberjack, horse mackerel, and toro-taku. The toro-taku is mixed with sea urchin and is the most delicious. The rest were just okay. I didn't feel the deliciousness of the sushi rice. The famous Uni Paradise had sushi rice that was too firm and the balance was off. It cost around 16,000 yen for two people. Honestly, with this taste and atmosphere, I wouldn't mind paying a bit more to go somewhere else.

I finally got to visit Miko Sushi, which has been my wish for a long time. We were able to enjoy Miko Sushi for the first time in a private setting due to a cancellation. The sushi was fresh and the pieces were large, all of them delicious. The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, making it a fun time. I have already made a reservation for my next visit, so I am looking forward to returning!

I visited this restaurant during Golden Week in May. I made a reservation a few months in advance after reading reviews on Tabelog. The address of the restaurant is not disclosed, but it is located a 3-minute walk from Shinbashi Station. The interior of the restaurant is small, with only 7 seats in a 5-tatami space. The standard course includes a variety of sushi, with additional orders available. The highlight of this place is the sea urchin paradise, with four types of sea urchin available on the day of my visit. The sushi was delicious, though not outstanding. The prices were reasonable, and I believe it offers good value for money. The drink menu is limited, with most drinks priced at 550 yen. The staff consists of a sushi chef and a drink server. The only downside is the shared restroom in the building. Overall, I had a good experience, but I may not revisit in the future. The total bill came to a reasonable 24,750 yen.

It was my first visit to this place, which is kept undisclosed until you make a reservation. I heard from a friend that it's hard to get a reservation, but I was lucky to snag one that opened up two months ago. It seems like weekends are fully booked until the end of June now. You can choose to have a full course of sushi or order your favorites as much as you like. I opted for the full course but asked to switch out my least favorite for tuna. There are various types of sea urchin available for tasting, such as Hokkaido bafun uni, purple sea urchin, Russian, and Canadian. Since I'm not a fan of sea urchin, I had tuna instead. Even if you're dining alone, the head chef is very friendly and easy to talk to, so you can enjoy your meal. This counter sushi restaurant is recommended for those who just want to eat sushi without any side dishes or appetizers.

Miko Sushi is a hidden gem with a mysterious location. The exterior is deep and the place is not publicly disclosed, but it is definitely worth a visit. The interior is narrow with only a counter that can seat about 7 people, giving off an interesting atmosphere. Most of the customers are regulars, so getting a reservation may not be easy but it's not impossible. The atmosphere is unique, the food is delicious, and there is a sense of value for money. We ordered everything on the menu from squid, tuna, medium fatty tuna, mackerel, horse mackerel, sea bream, amberjack, scallop, white shrimp, kuruma shrimp, simmered conger eel, and salmon roe. We also had a Uni Paradise with a variety of sea urchins to compare. We tried up to 4 different kinds. Finally, we ended with fatty tuna hand rolls and natto hand rolls. The place is popular due to Instagram, with many people coming for the sea urchin, but all the other menu items are delicious as well. My favorite was the natto hand roll mixed with seaweed tsukudani. I want to come back again and bring someone new, but maybe not for a first date (laughs). Miko Sushi, the hidden gem, is a must-visit for sea urchin and adventure enthusiasts.

I visited this very popular restaurant with a budget of 10,000 yen. It was my first time there, and I don't think I will return. For this price range, I believe there are other restaurants with a higher level of quality, including the atmosphere. The seat I sat in had a partition in front, so I couldn't see the chef's hands while he was preparing the food, which was disappointing.

Rating: ★★★★★ (Highly recommended) Cost performance: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Expensive) Atmosphere: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Not great) Crowdedness: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Not crowded) Taste: ☆☆☆☆☆ (Delicious) This was actually my first time eating sushi at a counter! I visited this popular restaurant at the request of my friend, and although it was difficult to make a reservation, I managed to slip in due to a last-minute cancellation. The restaurant has about 7 counter seats, and it's a small place where you can enjoy chatting with the chef and other customers. We started with squid and tried various items on the menu. The uni (sea urchin) was a highlight, and we tried about 6 different types, which were delicious. I'm not a big fan of uni usually, but I really enjoyed it here. We had a good meal with sake and the total bill for two people was 22,000 yen. Good taste, good cost performance, and a nice atmosphere make it perfect for sushi counter beginners. Thank you for the meal! ------------------------------------------------- Miko Sushi Main Store - 3 minutes walk from Shinbashi Station - Tabelog rating: 3.52 - Price range: 4,000 to 6,000 yen for lunch, 10,000 to 13,000 yen for dinner -------------------------------------------------

This restaurant does not reveal its location publicly, only to those who have made reservations. Located in a mixed-use building, it truly is a hidden gem. It is so popular that reservations for Saturday nights until June are completely booked. Known for its great value, it has been featured by YouTubers. They focus on providing limited menu items. The order included: squid with soy sauce, squid with salt, scallop, shrimp, Oma tuna lean, Oma tuna medium fatty, horse mackerel, uni tasting set of 5 pieces, tuna hand roll, natto hand roll, clam soup, and a small bottle of beer. The squid had a chewy texture with a sweet flavor, and the salt seasoning was preferred over soy sauce. The scallop was large and delicious, worth more than its 330 yen price tag. The most impressive dish was the Oma tuna medium fatty, which had a refined richness and sweetness. Trying 5 pieces of uni at once was a first, and it was a special experience unique to this restaurant. While I was hoping for sea urchin from Hokkaido, it was not available that day. Despite that, the quality of the sushi at the counter for 11,000 yen, including drinks and soup, felt like an incredible deal. In a world where many restaurants hike up prices, this one felt honest and worth recommending.
