Had lunch with an acquaintance at Kamata Sushi on a Saturday. We made a reservation for lunch and were greeted by a casual sushi restaurant without a curtain. Various types of shellfish, crab, and snapper for snacking were neatly arranged in the icebox at the corner of the counter. We had Hokkaido hairy crab, which was meticulously prepared and presented by the master. It was delicious with a special Tosazu vinegar dressing. We also enjoyed abalone and turban shell from the nearby sea, served as sashimi and grilled dishes, while slowly savoring a bottle of reserved rice shochu, Daishi. The popular sushi lunch comes in portions for one person or 1.5 people. Today, our group reservation ordered 1.5 portions. It's not your typical sushi lunch from a local restaurant; the toppings are generous, the rice is moist, and the vinegar is not overpowering, making it very satisfying. The main seating area is a counter in a U-shape, accommodating around 10 people. As the drinks settled in, we ordered 1.5 portions. We enjoyed tuna, snapper, salmon, gizzard shad, lightly pickled mackerel, medium fatty tuna, sweet shrimp, bonito, egg, and octopus, which were all more than enough. We finished with a red snapper head miso soup. The dishes were served in handcrafted pottery by the master, adding to the cozy atmosphere. This is my go-to spot for a leisurely lunch on weekends, offering reasonably priced quality sushi and fish. Thank you as always for the delicious meal.

I made a phone reservation on Sunday night and walked about 10 minutes from Kamata Station to get there. When I arrived around 7 pm, the restaurant was reserved just for us. The curtain was hanging inside, so it was a bit intimidating to enter without a reservation. I had pre-ordered a platter of hairy crabs, so it was quickly served. The boiled squid was served as an appetizer. The sashimi platter included a variety of shellfish and white fish. When I mentioned that I like bonito, they also brought out some marinated bonito. I enjoyed nigiri sushi with medium fatty tuna, sea bream, and amberjack, as well as toro, sea urchin, and salmon roe. The conversation with the chef was lively, and time flew by quickly. I would like to visit this restaurant again with a reservation. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with my husband, daughter, and Mr. T whom I respect. It is a completely reservation-only restaurant, so we made a reservation the day before. The restaurant had no curtain or sign outside! When we entered through the quiet entrance, there were a few counter seats and one table. Even though we had a child with us, they told us we could sit anywhere, so we chose the counter! The chef was working alone, handling everything. First, he prepared tamago, anago, and ikura for my daughter. Then, he skillfully made a lunch set for 1.5 adults one after another. The sushi lined up had small shari rice, making it the perfect bite size. When you eat it, the mouthfeel is amazing! The rice gently molded and the carefully sliced ingredients spread gently in your mouth. There was no fishy or watery taste at all! You can fully enjoy the taste of the ingredients. The tamago was also delicious. I'm not a fan of sweet tamago from sushi restaurants, but this one had a balanced sweetness and a rich eggy flavor that I really liked. The miso soup was a clear broth with rich umami flavor. It was delicious. Even though this is not a child-friendly restaurant, they kindly cut the sushi into bite-sized pieces for my daughter without me asking and served the miso soup lukewarm. It was a pleasant surprise. I don't visit non-conveyor belt sushi restaurants often, but this was the first time I experienced such attentive service and a sushi chef who cares about what kind of sushi you want to eat. As for the price of the lunch set, I didn't ask for details, but the set for three people and my daughter's tamago, ikura, and anago added up to 7600 yen!? For this quality and quantity!? I think it's amazing. The only downside was that the air conditioning seemed to be not working well, so it was hot (laughs). I will definitely go back! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Visited with my family. The interior of the restaurant was filled with white wooden counters, where we could watch the master's craftsmanship up close while ordering our favorite dishes. Each of us had different preferences, so some ordered sashimi, while others ordered nigiri... and the orders kept coming, but the master skillfully and calmly handled them all. The sushi was small and easy to eat, with soft and fluffy rice. The toppings were so juicy that they seemed to melt in your mouth without feeling any temperature difference. The presentation of each dish, including sashimi and appetizers, was beautifully crafted, both visually and in taste. Japanese food was celebrated, and so was sushi. It was a fun and delicious night. Thank you for the meal, we will definitely visit again.

This is a shop quietly standing along the Kanna-machi street. I visited during lunchtime. The lunch menu is very reasonable. The medium fatty tuna melted in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. The way the chef cuts the fish and sears it showcases his skills. I'm happy that I can eat this quality sushi in Kamata. The flounder marinated in kombu had a nice firm texture, which I liked. The speed at which the sushi was served was a bit too fast for me, so I'm giving it 3.5 stars, but the taste deserves 4 stars. This is a shop I would like to visit regularly.

I visited this restaurant for the first time after being invited by my regular colleagues in the same industry. It's about an 8-minute walk from Kamata Station South Exit, facing the Kandai Highway. We had the place to ourselves with 8 people, so we left it to the owner to decide the menu. We started with child-rolled kombu and peeled hairy crab, followed by crab shell sake, and thoroughly enjoyed the hairy crab. The simmered abalone, tsubugai, mirugai, and scallops were also delicious. In the second half, we had sushi and rolled sushi, as well as a soup and dessert. The owner, who has many hobbies including hunting, served us deer meat yukhoe. We were able to bring our own alcohol, so everyone brought sake, non-alcoholic wine, and more. Of course, we also ordered drinks from the restaurant. We had a fun and delicious evening with enjoyable conversations with the owner. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I made a reservation and visited at 12:00 on Sunday. I ordered a lunch sushi set for 1.5 people for ¥1600, which I had requested over the phone. They first served tuna rolls and tamago, followed by two pieces of sushi at a time. The octopus was tender and had a melting sensation, which was very delicious! The miso soup was also tasty. After finishing the lunch sushi set, I added sea urchin. Surprisingly, each piece of sea urchin was ¥1000. It was a good deal to enjoy delicious sushi at lunch, considering the higher prices in the evening. Thank you for the meal!

I had some delicious sushi after a long time. The restaurant is located about a 10-minute walk from Kamata Station along the Kanpachi. It seems that reservations are required even for lunch, so I called to make a reservation around 10 am on the day of. (The store opens at 12:30 as they are closed the day before). When I arrived at the restaurant, I couldn't see any curtain or sign, so I was a little lost on where to enter, haha (the curtain was inside the store). The store opened at 12:30, but I couldn't see any other customers, so it seemed like I was the only one. The chef asked me what I wanted. I ordered 1.5 servings for ¥1600. After a short wait... about 5 minutes, it was ready. The visual was excellent (see photo). The set included 12 pieces of sushi, 6 tekka maki rolls, thick omelette, miso soup, and ginger. The sushi rice was a bit small, but it was a satisfying portion. With the miso soup included, I was full. I thought the wasabi on the sushi was a bit too much overall (I would prefer less). All the ingredients were fresh and delicious. If you're looking for cost-effective sushi for lunch, definitely give it a try! *Reservations are required!

I had been wanting to visit "Kamata Sushi" since before 12:00 on March 7th, but it was so close to my house that I hadn't gotten around to it. So, I finally decided to go and made a reservation. The restaurant is located along the Kandai Highway. It's a reservation-only place, even for lunch. I called an hour before opening at 11:00 and was able to make a reservation. When I arrived, there was no sign hanging outside, only inside. I ordered the lunch sushi set for 1.5 people for 1600 yen. They served a delicious fish soup as a starter. The sushi came in a stylish plate with 14 pieces, including medium fatty tuna, sea bream, tuna, amberjack, kohada, mackerel, large shrimp, salmon, sweet shrimp, tamago, rolled omelette, sea urchin, salmon roe, and squid with sweet sauce. Everything was incredibly delicious, especially the medium fatty tuna, sea urchin, and salmon roe. The cost performance was amazing! It seemed like there were fewer customers, probably due to the coronavirus. You can probably get a reservation now if you want. I definitely want to go back again! Thank you for the meal!

I visited after a long time. The curtain is still not out as usual. On this day, I had ordered hairy crab when making a reservation, and the crab appeared immediately. It was beautifully arranged, and the shredded meat was mixed with crab miso, making it perfect for drinking. I also had a variety of nigiri sushi. Every piece of sushi was delicious, especially the shellfish. Thank you for the meal. I am looking forward to the next visit.

After a gym session on a holiday, I visited a restaurant with a friend. The entrance curtain was not out, so we cautiously opened the sliding door. Inside, there were counter seats and one table for four people. The L-shaped counter was spacious and had refreshing white wooden boards. There were two lunch options: a single serving and a 1.5 serving, with the option to add more. We ordered the 1.5 serving lunch for 1,600 yen. First, we were served a clear soup with various kinds of fish and seafood, including tuna, yellowtail, fatty tuna, sea bream, mackerel, bonito, shrimp, squid, and rolled omelet. The sushi was delicately prepared, with soft rice and moist egg omelet. The pickled ginger served on the side was also delicious. We added sea urchin and eel, both of which were incredibly flavorful and melted in our mouths. My friend was also delighted by the meal, and we left the restaurant feeling satisfied.

We made a reservation for three people and visited the restaurant at 12:00 on July 22, 2019 (Monday). We were seated at the counter, and I ordered a watered-down sweet potato shochu. The other two people ordered tea. We each ordered 1.5 servings of sushi for lunch. Everything was delicious, but the tuna was especially good. There were also photos of gizzard shad and pickled mackerel. The other two people also ordered extra abalone and sea urchin. The sea urchin was generously served and looked delicious. We had the place to ourselves for about an hour after we arrived, so we were able to relax and enjoy our meal. Weekday lunches are a great deal, costing around 3000 yen per person for a satisfying meal. I would like to visit again with my friends.

I occasionally take the Keikyu bus that runs between Kamata Station and Oimori Station along the Toho Medical University Street, and I remembered seeing a sign for "Katama Sushi" near the Kamata Ichome bus stop in the past. I searched online to find out what happened to it, and I discovered that it had moved to along the Kanto Highway. It seemed like a good deal for lunch, so I called ahead to make a reservation. I visited the restaurant the next day after making a reservation over the phone. It took about a 5-minute walk from JR Kamata Station West Exit, and when I arrived at the restaurant, there was no curtain hanging outside. From the facade, it looked like a traditional Japanese restaurant. Next to it was the very Western-style "BILLY THE KID" restaurant. I later found out from the owner that even recently, a local lady had asked, "What kind of place is this?" Other reviews also mentioned that the curtain was not displayed, so I gently opened the sliding door and saw regular customers sitting at the counter seats. There were a total of 10 seats at the L-shaped counter, with 4 seats x 6 seats. I greeted the owner at the entrance and was told to sit wherever I liked, so I chose a seat near the entrance. The owner asked if I was there for lunch, and I was given the option of a regular portion for 1 person for 1100 yen or a 1.5 person portion for an additional 500 yen, which included 13 pieces of sushi and a roll. I opted for the 1.5 person portion. Tea was served without asking for a drink. The regular customer was leisurely enjoying his meal. When I asked about taking photos, the owner offered to bring out all the sushi at once. I requested to start with the sushi, and the pieces were placed on ceramic plates without a fish case, which was unusual for a sushi restaurant. The sushi included tuna, striped jack, sea bream, scallop, sweet shrimp, salmon, sardine, horse mackerel, squid, horse mackerel with egg, and a separate plate with sea urchin and squid with claw. The meal also included a fish head soup, all for 1600 yen including tax, which was surprisingly affordable. The sushi pieces were slightly small, but the balance between the fish and rice was good, and considering the price, the satisfaction level was very high. The regular customer seemed to be quite familiar with the owner, and the owner mostly chatted with him, giving off a somewhat indifferent vibe. However, when I asked about the reason for the relocation, the owner mentioned that in the winter, he enjoys "hunting." I initially thought it was fishing since it was a sushi restaurant, but it turned out to be hunting with a gun, mainly targeting deer. The regular customers apparently come to this sushi restaurant to enjoy game meat. The owner mentioned that dinner is mainly omakase style, but they can accommodate specific budgets for a customized meal. It seems like a convenient place to dine. Trying the game meat might require becoming a regular customer and joining their circle first. Regardless, the lunch was a great value. (Visit rating: 3.52)

It's far from the station. No sign is displayed. Peeking in from the outside, the inside looked dark and made me feel uneasy. The toilet had animal bones that the owner had caught displayed, which increased my anxiety. However, that was all before the sushi arrived. It was lunchtime, but the sushi was of a very high quality. I was particularly impressed by the flavor of the sea bream. It reminded me of the deliciousness of "Sushi Shokunin Saito" in Akasaka-mitsuke. Although the owner may seem intimidating at first, as he prepares the sushi, you realize he is actually quite witty and engaging in conversation. Truly a reward for the brave (laughs).

1 person lunch + ikura (salmon roe) + 2 pieces of anago (saltwater eel) for 3900 yen. The meticulous work is evident.

I visited in July 2019. Tsumami Shimaji 6, Chutoro 7, Tai 7, Hirame 7, Tamagoyaki 6, Hotateyaki 7, Shimaji Kamayaki 8, Soft-boiled Octopus 10, Nigiri Kohada 7, Shimesaba 8, Aji 8, Uni 9, Ikura 10, Anago 8, Aoyagi 7, Geso 8, Sumiika 8. Overall rating: I visited this hidden gem of a restaurant after a long time. The entrance is not very welcoming with no curtain hanging, but the chef is very humble and the inside of the restaurant is very cozy. The quality of the food is high and everything I tried was delicious. While there was nothing particularly outstanding that left me in awe, each dish was prepared with care. The prices are reasonable and I had a great time eating and drinking here again.

Sushi restaurant along the Kanna-machi with an L-shaped counter seating about 8 people. They offer Shimeharitsuru and Tatenokawa sake. We ordered the omakase set and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious sashimi platter with abalone, minke whale, tuna, ark shell, striped beakfish, and more. The octopus was particularly outstanding. The nigiri sushi with shrimp, salmon roe, fatty tuna, squid, etc. were also delicious and we left feeling satisfied. We were worried about the bill, but it was only 25,000 yen for two people. Amazing value for such high-quality sushi. We will definitely be coming back.
