The long period of self-restraint has come to an end. While it's nice to have a lively time at an izakaya, sometimes you just want to enjoy a leisurely meal. That's when a place like this comes in handy. Today, we are in Akihabara, Tokyo, at "Sushi Yokota," enjoying the omakase course. Located on the 8th floor of a mixed-use building right in front of JR Akihabara Station, this restaurant follows in the footsteps of the renowned Azabu-Juban restaurant "Tenpura Yokota." As soon as the elevator doors open, an elegant experience begins. Sitting at the counter, taking a moment to relax, the feast begins. Today, it's omakase. Excited to see what will be served next... First, a clear soup. The clear soup with the texture of mushrooms is soothing and warms the body, preparing it for the meal ahead. It's a perfect warm-up! Next, a selection of appetizers. A colorful arrangement resembling a garden in autumn. Lily bulbs, ginkgo nuts, shrimp potatoes, all lightly seasoned with salt to bring out the pure flavors of the ingredients. Of course, Japanese cuisine calls for sake. Sipping sake from a glass that resembles a champagne flute adds to the enjoyment. Delicious! You can have a fun and tasty drink without making a fuss. Onto the nigiri, starting with fatty tuna. The melt-in-your-mouth richness of the fatty tuna is simply divine... it's so delicious that it makes you sigh in delight. The red vinegar rice complements the fish perfectly, and the bite-sized pieces are just right. A flawless dish that leaves you wanting more. Wondering what the next nigiri will be, a unique dish arrives. A mini bowl made with salmon roe, flying fish roe, sea urchin, and caviar. A luxurious treat with fish roe as the main ingredient. With a bit of rice at the bottom, it's a substantial mini bowl. A luxurious delight! Since the portion is not large, it feels like having sushi. A surprising twist indeed. Moving on to more nigiri... conger eel, flounder, saury, beltfish, and blackthroat seaperch, finishing with ark shell. Each piece is seasoned to bring out the best flavors of the ingredients. I got so engrossed in the deliciousness that I almost forgot about the sake! Every piece was outstanding, making it hard to pick a favorite. Next up, tempura. Starting with deep-fried shrimp, with the head also fried to a crispy texture. I was recommended to try it with curry salt, and it was amazing! The curry powder and salt combination worked like magic. Continuing with shiitake mushrooms and sillago tempura, each piece was crispy and delightful. The curry salt was the winner! I was completely hooked on its charm. Then, a large transparent vessel is placed in front of me. The white smoke inside is from smoked bonito, creating a mesmerizing effect. When the glass lid is lifted, the smoke gradually dissipates, revealing the smoked bonito. The aroma is enticing, and the taste is exceptional! It's the most delicious bonito I've ever had! There's no fishy smell, only the pure umami of the bonito. The entertainment factor is intriguing, but the flavor of the bonito is what truly captivates me. I'm completely blown away by its taste. More nigiri follows, featuring boiled shrimp and marinated tuna. The boiled shrimp was juicy and sweet, surpassing the raw version in taste. The thick flesh of the shrimp is a delight to savor. The marinated tuna, known as akami, is also exceptional. It's a different taste from fatty tuna, with a concentrated umami flavor. Absolutely delicious! The meal concludes with fluffy simmered conger eel. The nigiri experience was truly satisfying. I enjoyed a variety of dishes and savored every bite.

Head to the sushi restaurant in Akihabara! I got a little lost using Google Maps to find the one on top of the Go Go Curry building, but eventually found my way to the sushi place in Akihabara. When you go up, there's a teppanyaki and sushi restaurant on the same floor, and I headed towards the sushi one. The teppanyaki place seems to be part of the same group. The cozy atmosphere with a beautiful counter made it very comfortable. The casual counter sushi experience was great because the head chef was very friendly. The atmosphere was nice and the prices were reasonable. The appetizers made me feel like spring was in the air with a beautiful assortment. The chawanmushi with bamboo shoots was also a nice touch of the season! Another interesting thing was that you can enjoy both sushi and tempura here. The tempura was crispy and delicious, and there was plenty of food because of that! The first bite of the bluefin tuna was amazing! I was already happy with the first piece. The bonito with green onions, horse mackerel with condiments, and the balance of flavors with the sushi rice that wasn't too vinegary were all to my liking! The green tea dessert at the end was a personal favorite of mine! Since I also had tempura, the green tea helped me feel refreshed after the meal! There are private rooms available, so I recommend this place for salarymen in the Akihabara area, as well as for dates or meals with friends.・Assorted appetizers・Salted bluefin tuna from Kama Bay・Yellowtail from Mie Prefecture・Amberjack from Mie Prefecture・Scallop from Hokkaido・Assorted tempura・Conger eel tempura・Chawanmushi with bamboo shoots・First bonito with shuto sauce・Japanese halfbeak・Japanese flying squid・Horse mackerel from Nagasaki・Red miso soup with clams・Toro taku・Green tea with dessert assortment

This is a revered place, having won the Michelin award for 8 consecutive years, a holy land of food. The moment the unforgettable night begins, stepping into the restaurant, you are greeted by a white wooden counter and simple yet sophisticated interior. Just witnessing the efficient work of the master chef makes you excited about what is to come. The sushi served in the "omakase course" is unbelievably delicious and indescribable in words. The vinegared rice, blended with three types of vinegar based on red vinegar, enhances the highest quality seasonal ingredients. Especially, the medium fatty tuna sushi is so delicious that it makes time seem to stand still. And what surprises and delights is the innovative small bowl using plenty of fish roe. The luxurious combination of salmon roe, flying fish roe, cod roe, and caviar is truly a culinary art. The tempura also matches perfectly the crispy texture of freshly fried food and the unique sweetness and umami of the ingredients. The fact that you can enjoy the whole shrimp, including its head, adds to the excitement. Finally, the hand-rolled sushi with sea urchin and fatty tuna appears. The story unfolding on your palate from then on, including the chawanmushi and chestnut mousse dessert, knows no end. The luxury experienced with family, friends, and loved ones at "Sushi Yokota" will be deeply engraved in memory and passed down through generations.

The staff at the 8th floor store near Akihabara Station was initially unfriendly and did not explain the dishes, causing discomfort for someone who doesn't like cheese. However, the chef who brought the dishes later was friendly and engaging, making the experience more enjoyable. The food was delicious, although not exceptionally so, which may have been due to high expectations. Thank you.

I received a 3,900 yen course and the food was delicious, so I would like to go again if I have the chance. The only disappointing thing this time was that the male staff who showed us to our seats and served tea seemed very careless. I wish they had been more careful when serving tea or bringing out the dishes. Their rough manners gave a bad impression. Even though the food was delicious, the poor way it was served made me feel sorry for the dishes.

My family came to Japan to visit, so I took them to this restaurant I've been wanting to try for a long time. The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. It was great to be able to enjoy both sushi and tempura in one meal! The chef was also funny and cute. 😊

We had a decent first half of the year, so as a reward to ourselves, my colleagues and I decided to go to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant near our workplace. It seemed like a chain of a traditional tempura restaurant that had earned a Michelin star, now also offering sushi. We opted for the chef's choice course. We started with a seasonal appetizer plate, followed by sashimi, and then nigiri sushi with sea bream, shellfish, and squid. Next came tempura, including square-shaped okra and swordfish, which I had never tried before. The tempura was delicious, especially the swordfish. We also had steamed egg custard and simmered dish before going back to nigiri sushi, ending with fatty tuna and a toro roll. The rice was exceptional, made with a blend of three types of vinegar including red vinegar. The texture was perfect, and it complemented the fish well. The beer was good, but the aged tea (¥1000 per glass) was outstanding. It paired well with the sushi and would probably go well with any dish. The service was polite, and the head chef, though quiet, exuded kindness and attention to detail. I would definitely like to visit this place again.

The restaurant opened at 5:00 PM and had private rooms. It seemed to be a Michelin-starred restaurant, although the location in Akihabara was a bit of a concern. The restaurant used to be different before, maybe it became a chain? The background music was all by Mr. Children, which was nice. They accommodated us in a spacious private room because we had a baby stroller. The private room was a bit dark, which was not ideal for families with children, but it seemed more suitable for couples. They seated a couple next to us in another private room, even though there were no other customers, so I wish they had spaced us out more. The pace of the meal felt fast, but when we finished paying and left the restaurant, it had been about 2 hours, so it was actually a good pace. I realized that I eat slowly, which may have contributed to that feeling. The restaurant used to be a tempura place, I think, and the tempura was indeed delicious. As for the sushi, it may depend on personal preference, but I didn't find it particularly outstanding. I prefer sushi where you can taste the freshness of the ingredients without any additional seasoning (like traditional Edomae sushi). I think part of it is just my own preference. I liked that they used red vinegar rice. Overall, I think it's a good restaurant, but personally, I probably won't go back. I might try the teppanyaki restaurant next door next time.

Simply put, the taste is just average for a restaurant that has received a Michelin star based on the production. It felt like a Japanese cuisine restaurant rather than a sushi restaurant. There are plenty of sushi restaurants that are tastier for the same price. If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant while eating, I recommend the private room for two. Overall, it was a combination of atmosphere, price, and taste.

I wanted to eat some high-end cuisine with my foreign friends, so I searched for a nearby restaurant on Google. The recommendation for "Authentic Edo-style sushi by a chef from a Michelin restaurant" sounded very appealing, so we decided to go. We arrived around 1 pm and ordered the 5800 yen set menu in a private room, along with drinks. The atmosphere was nice. The tempura was delicious, but the sushi was a bit disappointing. The texture of the sushi sashimi was a bit... how should I put it... it had tough muscle fibers or something. I also felt that the combination of desserts was not quite right.

I visited on Saturday night. The sushi was delicious, and there were also other tasty dishes besides sushi. The drinks were also good. However, the course was quite generous with many dishes, and I miscalculated a bit... I couldn't finish the second round of sushi, what a waste. It was delicious, but such a shame. I apologize to the chef. Thank you for the meal.

I happened to enter a sushi restaurant due to transfer convenience, attracted by the Michelin title. I ordered the luxurious sushi course for 3900 yen, which includes 3 courses to choose from for lunch and excludes tempura. I was surprised that the quality of the appetizer, chawanmushi, grilled dish, sushi, red miso soup, and dessert was amazing. It felt like a high-quality meal worth around 7000 yen in Ginza. The drinks were expensive, so it turned out to be a pricey lunch, but the quality and cost performance were outstanding. I was impressed after a long time.

Luxurious lunch sushi set for 3,900 yen (excluding tax). It includes appetizers, steamed scallop custard, grilled fish, around 10 pieces of sushi including dried gourd roll, and dessert. The medium fatty tuna is sourced from Oma. While there is no sea urchin due to price increases, the quality of each ingredient is top-notch. The vinegar rice holds together nicely. For 3,900 yen, this is exceptional value. In Ginza, lunch sets at other restaurants can cost over 8,000 yen. Some ingredients are pre-cut, so it's not exactly on par with top Ginza establishments, but for the price, it's hard to complain. The location is on the 8th floor of a mixed-use building near Akihabara Station. The chef handles 4 private rooms and 3 counter seats simultaneously, working seamlessly with the kitchen staff. For groups of up to 3 people, sitting at the counter and enjoying freshly made sushi is recommended. They also offer a mixed course with tempura at a reasonable price. Today's bill came to 4,290 yen. Overall, it's a great value for delicious sushi experience.

I have been to this Namba restaurant several times, so I decided to go again. It was really delicious. Thank you very much.

"Akihabara Yokota, a sushi restaurant that has been featured in the Michelin Guide for 8 consecutive years in Azabu-Juban, has opened a branch in Akihabara! You can enjoy a lunch set of 14 pieces of sushi for only 3,900 yen! It's incredibly affordable yet offers authentic Edomae sushi ❤️ I want to try their tempura next time ☺️ #AkihabaraGourmet #AkihabaraLunch #TokyoGourmet #TokyoLunch #Sushi #SushiGram #SushiLovers #GourmetLovers #Foodies"

＜Recommended for people like this＞ ■ Those looking for a place close to Akihabara Station to celebrate ■ Those who want to fill up on sushi and tempura, and enjoy Japanese cuisine →→→ Made a reservation for 6:00 PM and entered the restaurant. Was seated at the counter. There are also many private rooms, and there are already 2-3 groups of customers. After 7:00 PM, more than half of the private rooms were filled. ＜Sushi and Tempura [Special]＞ Price: 16,800 yen 【Appetizers】 ✅ 5 kinds of appetizers. The "red clam with miso" has a rich taste of vinegar miso, with a gentle balance of vinegar. Very easy to eat. The combination of the texture of leeks and the chewiness of the red clam is enjoyable. The "shrimp shinjo mentaiko" has a strong taste of mentaiko at first, but then you can enjoy the gentle sweetness of the shrimp. It felt like a fresh taste, even though I know both mentaiko and shrimp. ✅ The "abalone simmered" clearly showcases the deliciousness of the abalone, with a perfect balance of soy sauce and dashi. The "tuna meat simmered" is a slightly fatty tuna in sweet soy sauce. It has a strong taste, but contrasts well with the other appetizers. 【Small Bowl】 ✅ Abalone small bowl. The aroma of the abalone was outstanding from the moment it was brought out! The combination of the meat and liver sauce was perfect. You can fully enjoy the good seaweed aroma of the abalone. The rice was slightly firm, and it mixed well with the sauce. 【Sushi No. 1】 ✅ The "fatty tuna" is the first piece with soy sauce mousse. You can enjoy the deliciousness of the fatty tuna in a wild way. The fat lingers lightly in the mouth, but the satisfaction in the aftertaste is high. The "golden snapper" is slightly seared, bringing out its sweetness. The rice was slightly firm, leaving a lingering taste in the mouth. ✅ The "flounder" has a luxurious texture that is a delight to chew! The aroma and sweetness of the white meat that tickles the nose is amazing. The texture is the ultimate luxury. The more you chew, the more you can enjoy the taste and texture. The "red clam" is thick yet easy to chew. The thickness allows you to fully appreciate the flavor of the red clam. The subtle seaweed aroma covers the mouth. 【Special Dish: Steak】 ✅ A steak of Aomori beef. A luxurious addition to a sushi course. The lean meat was so light that it didn't burden the stomach at all. It was the ultimate chopstick rest. Cooked medium rare, you could enjoy the compact taste of the lean meat. It was a delicious supplement that fish couldn't provide. * The sushi counter is removed when moving to tempura. * The tempura set comes with salt, special curry salt, lemon juice, and tempura sauce. * The dedicated tempura chef brings it to you. 【Tempura】 ✅ The freshly fried shrimp tempura is so satisfying that there might not be anything that can beat it. The sweetness and aroma are outstanding. The "macomodake" has a clear taste like potatoes, with a unique flavor of the season. The "whitefish" has a hot and fluffy texture, and you can feel the contrast in temperature with the sushi. Despite being a much lighter protein taste than the flounder, it was a refreshing sensation. ✅ The "sea eel" is a sticky and fluffy sweet potato. The crispy and fluffy texture when you bite into it is delightful. It doesn't have a strong taste, so you can enjoy the contrast with the previous tempura. The "shiitake mushroom" is a steak shiitake from Oita Prefecture, with a very strong aroma. It is thick and retains moisture, so you can fully enjoy the sweetness.

Akihabara "Sushi Yokota (formerly Sushi Tsubasa)" I went there on a friend's recommendation. It's about a 3-minute walk from Akihabara Central ticket gate to the 8th floor of a building. The restaurant is beautiful, with a nice counter. Although it was daytime, there were also several private rooms and the place was constantly busy. This time, I had a full course of sushi and tempura at the counter, and it was the right choice. Each dish, sushi, and tempura were all visually beautiful and enjoyable in taste. It's a renowned restaurant with high-level service, and it seems to be frequented by those on sunny days or for business entertainment. I didn't know there was such a restaurant in Akihabara. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I went to celebrate with my friend and enjoy delicious sushi. It's located very close to Akihabara Station. We ordered the "Sushi and Tomiyo [Upper] Kaiseki" course for 17,600 yen. We toasted with Moet & Chandon champagne. The taste was amazing after a long time. - Appetizers: A variety of appetizers including simmered baby octopus, chilled tomato, boiled spring chrysanthemum and mushrooms, mini scallops with miso vinegar, and honey-glazed sweet potatoes. - Recommended 1 piece: The first piece was fatty tuna with soy sauce mousse that melted in your mouth. - Small bowl: Caviar, flying fish roe, salmon roe, and puffy fish roe were delicious. - Sushi (5 pieces): Torched golden eye snapper, flatfish, gurnard, horse mackerel, and tsubugai (whelk). - Steamed egg custard: Smooth steamed egg custard with salmon roe and conger eel sauce. - Seasonal tempura (3 kinds): Tempura of Ishikawa sweet potatoes, makomodake mushrooms, and jumbo shiitake mushrooms. - Seafood tempura (3 kinds): Tempura of conger eel, prawn, and Pacific saury. - Special dish of the day: Smoked bonito. The smoked bonito wrapped in smoke was delicious. - Sushi (5 pieces): Prawn, nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), sandfish, conger eel, and marinated tuna. - Roll: A luxurious roll of fatty tuna and sea urchin. - Red miso soup: A comforting taste. - Seasonal dessert: Matcha kanten pudding with chestnuts and sweet red bean paste. It was such a delicious meal, and even though I was full, I could keep eating. It was a happy place, and I would love to go back again.

Recently, people around me have been excited about going out for drinks. I want to eat something delicious too. I can only take actions like Goro-chan from "The Lonely Gourmet" (mostly). The wave of inbound tourists may come back eventually, and there is a possibility that popular restaurants will start requiring reservations. There is a sushi restaurant in Akihabara where you can eat at a reasonable price. So, where exactly in Akihabara...? Take a left at the T-junction after passing by Gogo Curry, go up the elevator in the building, and you'll find a sushi restaurant that looks like it belongs in Ginza. The calm counter is currently reserved, while private rooms are filling up quickly. We like sushi restaurants, tonkatsu restaurants, ramen shops, yakitori restaurants... We always aim for the best seats. We started with a savory soup with sea urchin and taro, followed by a delicious fatty tuna mousse with soy sauce. The chef seems quite experienced. A platter of appetizers, highland tofu with fig sauce, asparagus and fish skin wrapped in fish cake, boiled taro and purple shiso, and a tomato cold dish. The pre-dinner sake is already flowing. Grated nagaimo with okra, smoked bonito, seared golden-eye snapper, red core daikon, and surf clam with egg vinegar. A small bowl of salmon roe, flying fish roe, and caviar. This is the gout-friendly meal. In this season, we had eel, perilla leaves, and asparagus tempura. Tempura always makes sushi taste even better. Chawanmushi with salmon roe and crab. Chawanmushi and salmon roe go well together. Seared blackthroat sea perch sushi. Blackthroat sea perch is really gaining popularity. A shrimp... Edo-style sushi can't start without boiled shrimp. Marinated horse mackerel from Awaji, pickled horse mackerel with mustard, and eel sushi. It's always a delight to have eel, but it seems like the season is ending. Clam miso soup. Why is miso soup at sushi restaurants always so delicious? Cucumber, daikon, and tamagoyaki. A pudding-like kinako pudding... These are dishes you won't find at just any sushi restaurant. Easy to eat, with dishes that go well with sushi in between, this kind of restaurant will surely attract more customers with the inbound tourism. Thank you for the meal. The chef seems to be from Nagoya, but he trained in the Kansai region, so he taught me a lot about Kansai cuisine.

Visited in September 2021. Despite the state of emergency, we heard about a sushi restaurant where you can enjoy a leisurely meal even at night, so we visited to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was quite close to Akihabara Station, but we had a bit of trouble finding the building it was in. It might be easier to find if you use Hidaka-ya or Gusto as landmarks. On this day, we had the "Sushi Kaiseki Omakase (Special)" for 16,500 yen. The meal included: Appetizer: Winter melon puree Sushi: Premium tuna, assorted appetizers Maguro shigure, tomato, tsurumurasaki, sweet potato, chrysanthemum ohitashi Chopsticks rest: Suitoro Specialty: Smoked bonito Sushi: Today's assorted sushi Hata, swordtip squid, horse mackerel, tsubugai Rice dish: Small bowl of fish roe with fresh truffle and tempura: Tempura of young ayu Steamed dish: Steamed dish with conger eel Sea urchin: Fresh sea urchin Sushi: Today's assorted sushi Nodoguro, kurumaebi, meichidai, anago Soup: Miso soup with shijimi, pickles Dessert: Shiratama dango We started with beer and then switched to sake, which paired well with the sushi. The food and sushi portions were well-balanced, allowing us to enjoy seasonal ingredients. The sushi rice was tangy and refreshing, and the sizes were small, making them great for pairing with drinks. The smoked bonito was a highlight with its smoky aroma and crispy onions. Despite being in a mixed-use building, the restaurant had a calming atmosphere, a thoughtful course menu, and reasonable prices, making it very convenient. This hidden sushi restaurant in Akihabara is recommended for dates or as a special treat.

Last year, a hidden gem sushi restaurant opened in Akihabara with a fantastic atmosphere featuring a stylish counter and several private rooms. Behind the counter, there are decorations of Supreme and VUITTON, giving off a fashionable vibe. This time, we opted for the chef's choice course! We started with Toro from Aomori, which melted in the mouth with a subtle sweetness of fat and the gentle spread of soy sauce. Among the five appetizers, the marinated flounder stood out as the best! Beer goes well with it. Now onto the nigiri sushi! We had seared golden eye snapper, flounder, swordtip squid, and tsubugai. The swordtip squid had a hint of salted kelp, enhancing the sweetness of the toppings. Next, it was time for smoked bonito. The glossy bonito had a chewy and moist texture when bitten. Definitely delicious. We then enjoyed tempura of young ayu, which I love. Followed by chawanmushi with ponzu sauce, which was a first for me. The combination of cod milt and grated daikon was excellent. And then a small bowl with rice topped with salmon roe, flying fish roe, karasumi, caviar, and luxurious toppings. A quick devour. And then grilled nodoguro, gurnard, conger eel, shrimp, and marinated tuna one after another - I was completely satisfied! The presence of private rooms was also nice. We had a lively conversation with the chef about Osaka. It seems they also offer lunch! You can truly indulge in a luxurious dining experience here. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
