In mid-August 2023. If you take a taxi, go from the east exit rotary to Ebisu Street, turn right at Beer-zaka, and it's at the end, down the stairs on the right side of the flower shop building (closed on Sundays). I've always been curious every time I pass by on the Assist-go, but finally made it during the Obon holidays when a typhoon was coming - had to avoid the Assist-go due to the rain, wind, and plans for heavy drinking ^^; It's a well-known apprentice of Kurikawa who has been open only on regular holidays since June 5th last year - could he be a protege of Sushi Itsumi? I arrived a little early, but they provided a cloth towel, cold water, and homemade pickles (pickled radish and pickled daikon). The chef also came over, and we toasted with a Pinot Noir-style champagne, Bollinger half bottle, to quench our thirst! There are only 8 seats, accommodating 4 groups of 2, but today there were 3 groups, and the sushi started from the first group that arrived - as a result, I was quite drunk and my memory is a bit hazy, but in order of arrival: -Flounder: First, a light white fish. -White squid marinated: With a sprinkle of sudachi. -Marinated bonito: Melts with a hint of red allure. -Flat scallop: Sweet. -Foie gras: Diced with Nara pickles for a good texture. -Red sea bream: Rich in fat. -Small skin kelp-wrapped: Cut kelp-wrapped in seaweed for a single bite. -Tuna lean: It must be delicious to be worthy. -Medium fatty tuna: All tuna is from the Sea of Japan from Yamayuki. -Otoro: Today's from Yoshio, Hokkaido. -Daikon roll: A refreshing palate cleanser. -Golden snapper: Lightly seared on the skin. -Fresh salmon roe: A first-time experience for both the chef and me. -Kuruma shrimp: Too beautiful! -Purple sea urchin: Completely additive-free. -Simmered clam: Perfectly cooked at low temperature. -Hand-rolled tuna sushi: Balanced with sesame, miso, and shiso leaf seasoning. -Tamago: Not too sweet and moist. -Clam soup and green tea. In total, about 17 pieces, tamago, and a bowl, with quite a volume, no appetizers, but more sushi pieces than Itsumi. And using two types of rice for the sushi, all perfectly seasoned, allowing for a better understanding of flavor changes. I chose chilled sake, received 2 cups of Gomaru Junmai from Saga Prefecture and 3 cups of Haneya Special Junmai from Toyama Prefecture - did I finish them all...? Perhaps due to the weather, the latter half of the customers had not yet arrived, and if there were available seats, I would have stayed longer and ordered more of the favorite items I had - ^^;

Ebisu is a sushi restaurant called "Kuriya Kawa" located upstream from Beerzaka near the Japan-France Association. As a second line of this restaurant, a new sushi restaurant called "Sushi Nisshin Geppo" has opened, operating only on Sundays and Mondays. The interior is the same as "Kuriya Kawa," with a counter seating for 8 people. The chef is off on these days, so only sushi is served, but the ingredients are the same as "Kuriya Kawa," making it feel like a good deal. The beer is reasonably priced at 880 yen for a medium bottle, and they offer a variety of sake by the glass. The sushi starts as soon as you sit down, with a special brand of "Donchicchi Aji" that is rich in fat and delicious. The pickled ginger is thinly sliced and has a nice color. They use two types of sushi rice, and the red vinegar version has a sharp acidity that I personally enjoy. The Shima Aji is a luxurious natural fish with a clean fat. The lightly seared Sawara has a tantalizing aroma that enhances the flavor of the fish. The stick sushi of Iwashi is also rich in fat and refreshing with vinegar. The Nori seaweed adds a pleasant oceanic aroma. The Zuke tuna is sourced from "Yamayuki" and is generously included in the sushi course under 10,000 yen, offering a classic deliciousness with a hint of acidity in the lean meat. The Chutoro is pleasantly fatty and not overwhelming. The Kohada is intricately braided and delightful to look at and eat. The Katsuo is lightly seared with straw to give it a fragrant and appetizing taste. The sushi overall emphasizes aroma and acidity. The vinegar-pickled onion is refreshing and perfect for cleansing the palate. The Masuko is marinated in soy sauce and has a pleasant saltiness that melts on the tongue. The Bafun Uni from Rebun Island has a rich and deep flavor, even hinting at an almond-like aroma. The Hamaguri is cooked carefully at a low temperature, offering a gentle texture and rich clam flavor. To finish, they serve hand-rolled sushi with Maguro mixed with shiso leaves and myoga, which I didn't fully understand the intention of. The Gyuuk is a unique item with plenty of shrimp and conger eel paste, closer to seafood than egg. The meal ends with a miso soup with clams. After enjoying all this, a light drink, and paying just over 10,000 yen per person, it feels like a great deal. It reminds me of the satisfaction of the debut lunch at the time of "Sushiya Shota" in the past. With the unrealistic pricing of sushi restaurants in the city center nowadays, ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yen, this kind of sushi experience at this price point brings the highest satisfaction. If you're tired of the trendy sushi restaurants calculated based on rent, labor costs, and customer spending, be sure to check this place out.

We visited the restaurant at night with two people. We prefer nigiri over appetizers, so we appreciated having a nigiri-only course. The taste was neither good nor bad... the rice was slightly different from our preference. The staff at the restaurant were very kind.

What a sushi restaurant with 5 days off a week!

Tuna is sourced from the famous tuna specialist wholesaler Yamako. Other ingredients are also similar to those used by Kuriya River. You can enjoy top-notch ingredients with top-notch skills. ③ Wonderful customer service. The high level of hospitality service enhances the satisfaction of the dinner.【Summary】It was my first experience dining alone at a sushi counter, and it was incredibly satisfying. As someone who is delighted by a variety of nigiri at a sushi restaurant, this place made me extremely happy. All the tuna used here is of the highest quality brand from Yamako. I was particularly impressed by the akami.

It's great when you want to eat sushi until you're full. You can order additional items after the course, but there is already a lot so you may not need to. The sushi is delicious even without soy sauce as it's already on the toppings. The seaweed is cut crispy each time it's rolled, which is fantastic. It's really just sushi, so it may not be suitable if you want to eat other a la carte items. I personally like sea urchin, clam, crab, and monkfish liver. The shrimp soup for the finishing touch is excellent.

Kuriya Kawa is a restaurant that opens on Mr. Kuriya's day off. The sushi is very delicious. If you only want nigiri, this is a highly recommended place. It seems they put a lot of effort into their ingredients, with a wide variety of high-quality sushi at very reasonable prices! It's really great value for money!

I might like Nisshingetsuho the most after conquering all the Kuriya River series. This place is a sushi-only shop with a reserved and taciturn head chef, but everything was perfect and delicious. The hand-molded sushi from Kuriya River is still delicious, with great taste, cost performance, and easy reservation availability. I want to go back again. Enjoyed the nighttime sushi course for ¥14,300, which included dishes like engawa, bonito, flounder with seaweed, golden snapper, foie gras battleship, tuna, medium fatty tuna, fatty tuna, toro inari, shinko, mackerel, live scallop, shrimp, sea urchin battleship, conger eel, hand-molded tuna sushi, miso soup with shrimp and conger eel surimi, and egg with shrimp and pike conger surimi. #Nisshingetsuho #SushiNisshingetsuho #Ebisu #EbisuGourmet #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi #Sushi

I visited this restaurant for my birthday. It's a small place with only a counter. The atmosphere is quiet, and I enjoyed delicious sushi slowly. Every piece I tried was really tasty, and I found myself nodding in agreement with each bite. I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat sushi! Please note that they serve sushi and alcohol, but they do not offer any other dishes.

Sushi Nisshingetsuho in Ebisu, the third store following Kuriyagawa and Sushi Itsuki in Akasaka. Open only on Sundays and Mondays, hence the name "Nisshin" (sun) and "Getsuho" (moon). The omakase course costs ¥14,300 and offers a variety of high-quality sushi items, making it a satisfying dining experience despite the lack of appetizers. The meticulous preparation and delicious flavors make it worth the price.

I was very satisfied!! Everything was really delicious, especially the tuna inari sushi, which I ended up ordering 2 more after finishing the course. I'm not a big fan of blue fish, but for the first time, I found it delicious. The chef was also very friendly and I had a great time enjoying delicious food. I would definitely like to go again!

Sushi Nisshingetsu always thank you for your continued support! Follows are greatly welcomed ☺️ This time, I visited Sushi Nisshingetsu, which is only open on Sundays and Mondays when Sushi Kuriya Kawasan is closed, for the first time. Here is the January lunch menu: Tokyo Bay - Firefly Squid Ala 4D Choshi - Golden Eye Snapper, Grilled Mackerel, Whiteboard Kombu Senzaki - Fixed Net Bluefin Tuna, Marinated Lean Tuna, Medium Fatty Tuna Kohada Sayori - Kombu-Pressed Pacific Herring Hokkigai - Salmon Roe Tsushima - Conger Eel, Tuna, Hand-rolled Sushi with Tuna Collar Tamago Yaki - Shrimp and Pike Conger Hand Roll Miso Soup with Prawn and Botan Shrimp Additional Dish: Shirako Ankimo Hand Roll

Located about a 13-minute walk from Ebisu Station, this restaurant has the following features: 1) A sushi restaurant open only on Sundays and Mondays. It is a shop that opens only on the days when Kurayagawa, a famous restaurant, is closed, for those who want to enjoy Kurayagawa's sushi. 2) The lunch course is priced at 9,350 yen, offering great value for money. The course includes 11 pieces of sushi, rolls, and tamago. They use high-quality materials, such as Yamasaki tuna, making it a great deal for the price. 3) The dinner course is priced at 14,300 yen for 16 pieces, which is also quite reasonable. The quality of the ingredients and sushi is high, and being able to eat this for under 10,000 yen is very much appreciated. The shari rice is on the smaller side, and they use red vinegar and white vinegar depending on the type of fish. This restaurant is recommended for those who want to enjoy just the sushi. The course includes: squid, red snapper, marinated fish, blackthroat seaperch, lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, gizzard shad, yellowtail, spot prawn marinated in kelp, salmon roe, conger eel, fatty tuna, rolled omelette.

I visited this sushi restaurant based on the high ratings. This place only serves sushi, and the chef swiftly prepares the sushi. There were two sushi chefs working on the day I visited. Each piece of sushi was made with care and attention to detail, and everything I tried was delicious. Especially outstanding were the sweet shrimp, which was moist and tasty, the tuna, which was rich in flavor and had a satisfying thickness, and the eel, which was fluffy and had a delicious sauce. The chef was friendly and we were able to have enjoyable conversations while eating sushi. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

On Sundays and Mondays only, this sushi restaurant offers high-quality sushi at a great value. Everything we tried was delicious, but the standout dishes were the inari maguro, crab with warm egg and ponzu sauce, akami (lean tuna), and white kombu with sardines. The akami was so good that we had to order seconds, and the chef cut a huge piece just for us, which we really appreciated.

Sushi restaurant "Nisshingetsuho" in Ebisu, run by Mr. Kuriya-kawa, is a place that serves only nigiri sushi and is open only on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is located about 5 minutes from Ebisu Garden Place. I tried the Nigiri Enjoyment Course for lunch (9350 yen) with some drinks. Here are the details of the nigiri: - Akashi sea bream - Simmered scallop with yuzu flavor - Fat greenling with crispy skin - Kesennuma bonito grilled with straw - Purple shiso pickled with onion - Tuna lean meat from Miyagi Prefecture - Tuna medium fatty tuna from Hokkaido - Vinegared sardine with sweet vinegar pickled with white shavings - Striped jack with mustard - Salmon roe with yuzu flavor - Hokkaido Murasaki sea urchin in saltwater - Nagasaki Tsushima simmered conger eel - Bonito hand-pressed sushi from Mie fisherman's cuisine - Tamagoyaki with minced shrimp and conger eel - Miso soup with shrimp broth I also enjoyed some drinks at a special price: - Champagne Loire (830 yen) - Katsunuma Alga Blanca Koshu wine (550 yen) - Rice shochu Torikai with soda (550 yen) The sushi was delicious and had a special touch. The lingering taste of the sushi and the drinks made me happy. It was a great experience waiting for the next piece of sushi to come out. The unique style of the restaurant makes it a fun place to visit. It was a delightful meal. Thank you for the feast.

I wanted to repeat visiting Kuraya Kawasan because it was delicious when I visited last year. There were many other restaurants I wanted to go to, so it kept getting pushed back. But when I heard that they only serve a sushi course on Sundays and Mondays, I made a reservation right away. The lunch course is 9,350 yen, which is quite reasonable! This time, we went for the dinner course (14,300 yen). The quality of the sushi for under 10,000 yen is amazing in terms of cost performance! Since they had just opened, the drinks were half price (there was no explanation, but it was written on the drink menu, so we drank a lot, haha). All the sushi was delicious. I especially liked the tuna and eel. I never used to like eel, but really delicious eel makes me sigh with delight. I also love the salmon roe here. It just melts in your mouth. The sushi was served promptly without any delays, so we stayed at the restaurant for about 1 to 1.5 hours. It may not be the best place for a leisurely drink, but it's a recommended spot if you want to eat sushi with good cost performance.

"Kuriya Kawa" run by Chef Koichi Kuriyagawa is known as a super difficult-to-reserve restaurant where you can enjoy high-quality appetizers and sushi at a high cost performance. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but a new restaurant called "Nisshin Getsuho" has opened on those days, starting from June 5, 2022. They use the same ingredients as "Kuriya Kawa" and offer a sushi-only menu. The "Nigiri Enjoy Course" is priced at 9,350 yen for lunch and 14,300 yen for dinner, including tax. They source tuna from Yamayuki and other fish and shellfish from Toyosu, all of the highest quality. The sushi rice is made with two types of red vinegar blends. The chef at Nisshin Getsuho, Mr. Kayanuma, used to be a fan of Kuriya Kawa and quit his job at a securities company to work there, with an unusual career path. The restaurant is located about an 8-10 minute walk from Ebisu, with 8 counter seats. The cost performance is amazing, and you will be completely satisfied considering the price. The order for the "Nigiri Enjoy Course" during lunch included various sushi items like horse mackerel, octopus with plum, sesame, and wasabi, mackerel, marinated tuna, salted kelp, medium fatty tuna, gizzard shad, salmon roe, bonito, sea urchin, conger eel, rolled omelette, hand-rolled tuna sushi, and miso soup.

You can enjoy only the nigiri sushi from the famous restaurant "Kuriya Kawa" in Ebisu, which started in June 2022 and is open only on Sundays and Mondays. The location is right across from Garden Place, just like "Kuriya Kawa." The sushi chef is Mr. Kayanuma, who trained at "Kuriya Kawa." He has an interesting background, graduating from Chuo University and working at a securities company before being impressed by the deliciousness of "Kuriya Kawa" and eventually quitting his job to knock on their door. The restaurant is located on the basement floor, but the high ceiling gives it an open and luxurious feel. There are only 8 seats at the gently curved counter, creating a lavish space. For the first 3 months after opening, drinks are half price, which is a great campaign, especially in this hot weather. I decided to try the omakase course for lunch, which is the same as the 14,300 yen dinner course. There are two types of sushi rice, one with a stronger flavor and the other with a milder taste, both made with red vinegar. The tuna is sourced from Yamasachi. This time, they had tuna from Sado and Shimomae, Aomori. Both were excellent, showcasing the best qualities of summer tuna. The new squid was also a special dish unique to the "Kuriya Kawa" group. The new baby squid had a soft yet firm texture that was hard to describe. The simmered conger eel was surprisingly delicious, with the perfect balance of sweetness in the simmered eel and the fluffy eel. Other dishes like gizzard shad, golden eye snapper from Choshi, hairy crab, and shirako were all delicious. By the time I finished enjoying the dried gourd sushi roll, I was so full that I hesitated to stand up. And the bill was around 15,000 yen, including a beer and half a cup of sake! For this price, and for sushi that leaves you so satisfied, it's quite impressive. There are many sushi restaurants in Tokyo, and even in these times, there are more and more places where you can enjoy quality sushi for around 5,000 to 10,000 yen, which is great. But for those who are willing to spend a little more, this place is highly recommended. It feels like they have really nailed the lineup of summer sushi. I really want to go back again.

I visited a restaurant called Kuriya River, where they have a unique concept of having young chefs prepare sushi on days when the main chef is not working. I tried their Night Sushi Experience course during lunchtime, which cost 14,300 yen per person, plus 2,230 yen for 2 glasses of sake on a special promotion. Overall, I found the sushi rice to be to my liking - slightly firm, good temperature, and not overly vinegary. There were two types of pickled ginger, which was a nice touch. The overall flavor was on the milder side, allowing the sushi to shine, although it was slightly overshadowed by the sake. The tuna was delicious, but the other types of fish were average to above average. Personally, I prefer starting with appetizers and enjoying exceptional dishes before moving on to sushi, so I left feeling slightly less satisfied. Nonetheless, high-end sushi restaurants are expected to be excellent, and I appreciate the challenge of standing out in the competitive sushi market. I look forward to seeing what Kuriya River has to offer with their sake pairing courses in the future. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch is 9,350 yen including tax, and dinner is 14,300 yen, which is a very reasonable price. In addition, drinks are half price until the end of August as part of the opening celebration at Sushi Nisshin Tsukihodo. This restaurant opened at the beginning of June this year and is only open on Sundays and Mondays when the famous Ebisu restaurant, Sushi Kuriya Kawa, is closed. There are two menus available, both consisting of only nigiri sushi and no appetizers. The portions are larger than usual and they also offer some unique ingredients not found at Kuriya Kawa. The taste is excellent! The 14,300 yen nigiri course was a tuna lover's dream with a variety of delicious tuna. Personally, I enjoyed the chutoro and otoro, but the akami was the best. It had a perfect balance of umami and acidity, with a sharp flavor that lingered in the nose. This restaurant is perfect for a casual Sunday lunch or a more elegant sushi dinner on the weekend. The drinks being half price made it very affordable even if you drink a lot! Since it just opened, it's easy to make a reservation and I highly recommend it! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited a new sushi restaurant that opened in the same location as Kawasan, where they only serve sushi and are only open on certain days. I made a reservation and was very satisfied with the simple sushi course they offered. If you're still hungry, you can add more sushi. I wanted to eat the sushi as soon as it was served, so I only took a picture of the famous sushi. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again!
