Chirashi Sushi at the famous restaurant "Kurosaki" in Shibuya has opened a new takeout-only store, so I went to try it out. It's about a 7-8 minute walk from Shibuya Station. The restaurant decided to focus on takeout due to the current circumstances. The sushi is only available as chirashi, not nigiri. The interior of the store is elegant, with a counter displaying high-quality ingredients. I ordered the Chirashi (¥5400) and it was ready in about 20 minutes, packed in a cooling pack and wrapped in a furoshiki. However, I made the mistake of not eating it right away, so the ikura became a bit wrinkled by the time I ate it in the evening. The chirashi included fresh ikura, chutoro, akami, kohada, and more, all served on delicious red vinegar sushi rice. Despite the slightly high price, the presentation and quality were impressive. The packaging was also luxurious, making it a great gift option. Overall, it was a delicious meal. The restaurant's opening days are not officially announced, but Sundays and public holidays are likely closed. As it is a new establishment, the days off may change in the future.

The name once known as "Sakanakuro Saki" is now on everyone's lips as "Tsurumi". Evolving from its previous standing style to a more relaxed seating style, the staff's passion and the charm of traditional menu items have been passed down without change. Perhaps there is a deep thought and philosophy of practical training behind the unique starting time of 24:00. However, from our perspective, we are very grateful for the business hours until 2:00. While it is possible to order from one piece, it feels lacking in etiquette to just enjoy one piece and leave under that name, so we enjoyed almost all of the day's special dishes with the omakase course. Among them, I captured a particularly memorable recommendation in a photo. This is a short message, but as drowsiness creeps in, I will end it here.

In front of Aoyama Gakuin University, there is a shop called Sakana Kurosaki. During the day, they sell bara chirashi, and from midnight, they transform into a standing sushi bar. They use the same fish and preparation as the very popular sushi restaurant Kurosaki, so all the sushi here is really delicious! I tried to go last week but it was too crowded, so this time I made a reservation in advance. It turned out there were no other customers this time (lol). The availability of customers seems to vary depending on the day. I had: sardine, cod milt, skin peeling, bonito, kujo, ishigaki sea bream, fatty tuna, sea urchin, mirugai, ark shell, scallop, negitoro roll, and toro taku roll. It cost around 10,000 yen per person! The soy sauce was gentle and sweet, just to my liking, and all the sushi was delicious! It was so good that even though it was late at night, I couldn't stop eating (lol). I wanted to try ikura, kamasu, and anago, but they were sold out. The chef was very friendly and we had a nice chat, so I had a great time ☺️

[Nearest station] Shibuya [Visit date] Weekday 19:45~ Visit by phone reservation in advance [Purpose] Dinner with friends [Overview] A restaurant where apprentices make sushi from midnight onwards in a new style of standing. They also offer take-out until midnight, with options like bara-chirashi and rolled sushi. "Sakana Kurosaki" is still relatively unknown, so if you're looking to bring a gift for your home or office, don't hesitate to choose this place. Reservations are essential, so be sure to call ahead! [Menu] For take-out, bara-chirashi is the only option!! For standing sushi, you can order individual pieces, allowing you to choose your favorite toppings. Recommended: ★★ bara-chirashi, toro-taku [Notes] I happened to stay at a hotel in Shibuya and found bara-chirashi for dinner. The photo alone shows the glorious bara-chirashi here. It's a treasure trove of luxurious toppings like toro, tuna, sea urchin, and salmon roe. The freshness is outstanding, and it's delicious!! The vinegar rice, though hidden, is also excellent, perfectly complementing the free-spirited toppings. The slightly sweet wasabi was a perfect match. I definitely want to come back and try the standing sushi next time, aiming for 10 pieces!! Thank you for the meal.

The younger brother of the popular sushi restaurant "Kurosaki" runs a takeout shop where you can enjoy standing sushi and drinks at night. Open from 12-2pm and 4-9pm. After midnight, the apprentices from affiliated shops take over. Ordered bara chirashi (¥5400), lemon sour (¥880), sudachi sour (¥880), and kaname's nanbanzuke. The fish used in the bara chirashi is high quality and delicious. The sea urchin is also top-notch, almost too good to be used in chirashi. Sashimi can be separated and stored in the fridge. Considering the location, ¥5400 is a very reasonable price! If it were nearby, I would definitely buy occasionally. It's a short drive from Shibuya and Aoyama, so it's likely that local residents come to buy. They have slightly altered the content from "Kurosaki." It seems to be on the red vinegar side, but with a subtle acidity and saltiness. Maybe a hint of sweetness added too. The lemon and sudachi sours were freshly squeezed in front of me. The shop is run by the head chef and a female staff member. It's convenient to be able to order individual pieces in the evening. It seems like a place for local residents during the day and for those looking for a second spot at night. Highly recommended.

After leaving Kurosaki in Omotesando, we went to "Sakanakurosaki," a standing sushi and takeout shop run by the younger brother. Even though it's a standing sushi place, they use almost the same quality fish as Kurosaki. The sushi case is filled with delicious-looking tuna and sea bream. During the day and evening, they only offer takeout, but from midnight, the young chefs from Kurosaki come to make sushi for standing customers. While waiting for the takeout menu, we enjoyed a freshly squeezed lemon sour and some delicious amberjack sashimi. I would love to come back to enjoy their sushi standing experience outside of late night hours! If it were closer to home, I would definitely go in the middle of the night.

I felt like having a hand-rolled sushi party, so I made a reservation by phone on the day. The high-quality ingredients and fresh toppings were amazing. The seaweed was also delicious. I heard that it was the younger brother of Kurozaki who was making the sushi. They mentioned that they also have the same supplier, so the quality was naturally high. I had a very satisfying hand-rolled sushi party! I think it would definitely be appreciated as a gift or at a home party.

When it comes to Kurosaki in Shibuya, it is a sushi restaurant that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The owner of Yamazuki also highly recommends it. It is quite popular and reservations are difficult to come by, often booked out over three months in advance. This shop is run by the younger brother of Kurosaki, the head chef, specializing in takeout. When I visited Kurosaki recently, he mentioned that you can also drink there, so I invited some friends and we went. The shop is located in a quiet area in Shibuya 2-chome, southwest of Aoyama Street. As soon as you enter, you see the sushi case, and of course, there are no chairs. Normally, you would order and take it home, but you can also enjoy some sashimi and drinks there. I tried the tuna sashimi with a highball - it was top-notch. I also ordered the Nanbanzuke and continued drinking. The tuna from Yamazuki is delicious. I had a great time chatting with Kurosaki's brother while enjoying the food and drinks. When we started feeling hungry, they offered to make sushi for us. Since they have both the fish and rice, they can make sushi too. They don't serve sushi early, but they can make it for you later in the evening. The fish and rice are the same as Kurosaki's. They also have a variety of Japanese sake. It's like a regular sushi restaurant, just without chairs (laughs). We had a selection of sushi including hirame, ikura, sweet shrimp, blackthroat seaperch, squid, tuna... Standing and enjoying sushi while drinking Japanese sake was a great experience! Kurosaki's brother really knows how to create a great atmosphere! We ended up drinking too much and my friend got really drunk. We didn't take pictures of everything, but the bill for three of us was just under 20,000 yen, which is a great value for money. It was a fantastic place to casually enjoy sushi and drinks.

I also went to "Sushi Kurosaki", which reigns at the top of the Shibuya gourmet scene and left a great impression. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go this year due to timing issues with reservations, but "Kurosaki" is moving to Omotesando in February next year and opened a branch (affiliate) in Shibuya in September called "Sakana Kurosaki". Primarily specializing in takeout of the popular "Bara Chirashi (prepared with 13 types of toppings)" and sashimi from the main store, it's interesting that the staff from the main store "Kurosaki" move to "Sakana Kurosaki" after the main store closes and operate a dual business offering standing sushi and drinks until early morning from 24:00. Furthermore, from day to night, different chefs/staff offer rolls and side dishes, and if there is availability, they will prepare them for you in a standing style. The casualness of takeout and standing style is present, but the interior design is luxurious and elegant just like the main store, making it a high-quality establishment. Today's order at "Sakana Kurosaki": - Tekkamaki x2 - Rolls with conger eel, cucumber, etc. - Kanpyo maki - Bara Chirashi (5000 yen) in a white wooden box. Bara Chirashi is made with a mild acidity and vinegar, and the rice is soft, making it easy for anyone to enjoy, which seems to be a handy item. The fact that the branch of "Kurosaki" is within shopping distance of Omotesando and Shibuya adds to the luxurious feel. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for reading until the end. If you liked this review, please like, follow, and save the restaurant. Thank you. Additional Note: "Sakana Kurosaki" also operates as "Sushi Tsurumi" from 24:00, but due to limited seating, it is recommended to call 10-20 minutes before arrival. At that time, the glass case on the counter is covered with the same cypress wood as the counter, creating a hidden one-piece counter.

Kurosaki, a popular sushi restaurant in Shibuya, opened a takeout-only shop nearby specializing in bara chirashi and assorted sashimi. The location is around halfway between Shibuya and Omotesando, with operating hours from 12-2pm and 4-9pm. I made a reservation for the evening session and upon arrival, paid immediately and received the items without having to wait. The bara chirashi (5,400 yen) is presented in a cloth wrap and upon opening the box, you'll find a colorful array of toppings such as tuna, shrimp, eel, octopus, salmon roe, egg, and cucumber. The fish was well-prepared, with aged tuna and tender eel. The sushi rice was seasoned with red vinegar, shiitake mushrooms, dried gourd strips, and sesame seeds, giving it a delicious flavor. Overall, the quality of the chirashi sushi was excellent for the price, making it suitable for home consumption or as a gift.

Taste: Excellent sushi restaurant with or without special ingredients, but I love it. Service: Always polite and considerate, providing a pleasant experience.

Late-night sushi restaurant operating in a stand-and-eat style, serving innovative, firm and satisfying sushi rice. I was impressed by the delicious sushi available at this hour! It is located in a quiet area away from the station, which adds to its charm.

You can enjoy Sushi Kurosaki late at night with the convenience of being able to eat one piece at a time!

I ordered Ehomaki for takeout. It was filled with plenty of ingredients and the pick-up process was smooth even though I pre-ordered the day before. I want to order it every year.

Great value for money at this wonderful restaurant.

In October 2021, a well-known sushi restaurant in Shibuya, "Kurosaki," has created a new concept specializing in bara chirashi and sashimi. The name of the new establishment is "Sakana Kurosaki," managed by Kurosaki Kenta, the younger brother of Kurosaki Kazuki. Located just a 10-minute walk from "Kurosaki," the exterior of the store may make you briefly question if it's a fish market. As you pass through the long noren curtain, you'll be greeted by a sparkling hinoki counter and showcase, with orchids dancing in celebration. During my visit, they served tuna from Oma, Aomori, as well as fresh squid, small fish sushi, dried hairtail, grilled swordfish, and other varieties similar to those offered at "Kurosaki." The menu consists only of bara chirashi and sashimi, with options for special arrangements like assorted platters and futomaki available with prior reservation. On this occasion, I ordered the bara chirashi that I had previously enjoyed in the restaurant. Kurosaki Kenta handed me the beautifully wrapped bara chirashi, showcasing his stylish and sophisticated touch. Unwrapping the package revealed a colorful array of small fish, lean tuna, fatty tuna, shrimp, white fish, octopus, conger eel, salmon roe, egg, dried gourd, simmered shiitake mushroom, seaweed, cucumber, and pickled ginger arranged elegantly on top of the sushi rice. The combination of rich sweetness, acidity, and umami, complemented by the crunchy texture of cucumber and chewy octopus, created a delightful symphony of flavors in my mouth. This dish is not only perfect for gifts or treats but also an ideal indulgence for oneself.

Sushi restaurant "Sushi Kurozaki" in Shibuya, which has a high score of 4.25 on Tabelog, has opened a takeout specialty store in the same area. The location is a 5-minute walk from Shibuya Station. The store is located in Shibuya 2-chome. I heard from my gourmet friends that a takeout store had opened, so I visited right away. I went to the store and the nigiri sushi (I will post later) was delicious as expected, but I was truly impressed by the takeout "barachirashi" from Kurozaki. It really looks like a "jewelry box." The operating hours are 12pm-2pm and 4pm-9pm. Reservations are recommended by phone to pick up at a designated time. Walk-ins are also possible, but there may be a wait. I made a phone reservation and purchased a "barachirashi" at 6pm for 5,400 yen including tax. Despite being a takeout specialty store, the interior and exterior look like a full-fledged sushi restaurant. I wanted to eat nigiri sushi on the spot. I bought it and it was wrapped in a furoshiki. It's stylish with Kurozaki's name on it. I opened it at home and it was indeed like a jewelry box. It was filled with ikura, with shrimp in the middle. Luxurious with ikura, tuna, anago, mackerel, and more. Cucumber and tamago enhanced the flavor. The match with the vinegared rice was superb. Kurozaki's nigiri sushi uses shari made with aged vinegar and salt, without any sugar, and adjusts the temperature of the shari according to the type of fish to bring out the best flavor. The shari is the highlight. The barachirashi also creates an exquisite chirashi sushi with such dedication. They also offer sashimi (5,400 yen including tax) and can prepare assortments and temaki sets by reservation in advance. I will definitely buy again. Thank you for the feast.
