Sushishimozu @ Shinagawa is a Japanese izakaya specializing in sushi located in the Shinagawa Station Konan Exit area. As you descend to the B1F of the building, you will see a suspicious neon sign at the entrance. However, once you enter the restaurant, you will be greeted by a stylish Japanese atmosphere with white tones, featuring a few counter seats and private rooms. This time, we decided to go for the "Hana Course."
