Located in the calm area of Kagurazaka, this Edo-style sushi restaurant offers courses starting from ¥11,000 during dinner time, making it a casual and enjoyable dining experience. At Yasakae, course orders are the norm, with the chef selecting the dishes for you. The head chef personally handpicks the ingredients every morning at the Ota Market. On this occasion, we opted for the "Upper Course (¥13,200)" which includes 2 appetizers, 2 side dishes, bar sushi, and 10 pieces of nigiri, and we added the famous "bakudan" that we really wanted to try. If you choose a course that already includes bakudan, it will come with an additional 2 pieces of special nigiri for ¥16,500. The sushi rice here has a firm texture with visible grains, paired with a slightly less sweet sushi vinegar, which I personally really enjoy. The specialty bakudan here consists of salmon roe, sea urchin, medium fatty tuna, and minced pickles wrapped in seaweed, and it is absolutely delicious. Even though the Upper Course for women already includes 10 pieces of nigiri and is quite filling, adding the bakudan as a side dish makes it possible to finish everything! The nigiri, as well as the appetizers and side dishes, are all of high quality, with the Mie Prefecture's brand oyster "Momokomachi" eaten with lime salt being a particularly unforgettable delight. Some may find sushi restaurants with omakase style intimidating, but the chef and staff here are very friendly and approachable! They promptly asked if the size of the sushi rice was okay after the first piece, and provided detailed explanations of the ingredients. The fact that you can enjoy a 10-piece nigiri course at this location and atmosphere for under ¥15,000 is truly wonderful! Below is the course content from my visit for your reference: Upper Course ¥13,200 - Toyama Firefly Squid with Vinegar Miso - Mie Oyster: Momokomachi - Katsuura Bonito - 2 pieces of nigiri: Salted Kamatoro, Ishikawa Sardine - Yasakae Special Bar Sushi (Mackerel) *Addition to the course: Yasakae Special Bakudan (Salmon roe, sea urchin, medium fatty tuna, pickles) - Side dish: Yagara's fried food - 8 pieces of nigiri: Spear squid, flounder, surf clam, horse mackerel, tuna, ark shell, blackthroat seaperch, Bafun sea urchin - Homemade Tamagoyaki - Roll: Liver and cucumber roll - Homemade dessert: Black sesame pudding

◾️Seasonal Omakase (Night) There are several menu options to choose from ・Nigiri with various toppings such as water octopus with seaweed salt, Sekizen red meat, Aji and Iwashi from Tsushima with shiso, ginger, cucumber, Saba sushi roll, Bomb sushi with sea urchin, ikura, medium fatty tuna, pickled daikon, Swordfish, Madai, Choshi Iwashi, Chu-toro, white squid, Shima aji, Kinmedai aburi, shrimp, Bafun uni, Tamahalf roll dessert. The portions are quite generous and satisfying, and the cost performance is quite good. The red vinegar shari is slightly refreshing, making it suitable even for those who dislike strong acidity. The signature Bomb sushi with plenty of uni, ikura, medium fatty tuna, and the texture of pickled daikon was delicious. The bara chirashi lunch is also popular and worth trying. Starting from 3,300 yen, there are lunch options available, making it a recommended choice for those making their sushi counter debut. Having lunch here and then enjoying tea at a stylish cafe in Kagurazaka sounds like a great plan. Despite the somewhat chic appearance in the photos, the restaurant seems to attract a younger crowd, with couples celebrating and a constant stream of people at the counter, indicating its popularity.

It is easy to gather near Kagurazaka Station. There are counter seats and table seats to choose from. The vinegar is just right, the sushi is large and not fishy at all, and even those who don't like lean meat can enjoy it. The menu other than sushi is also carefully prepared, with elegant flavors.

I visited this restaurant for lunch. The set menu in the 4000 yen range was quite a good deal. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the owner were nice, with a laid-back vibe which I personally liked. However, when it comes to the taste, hmmm, it was just okay. Considering the price, the cost performance is quite good, but the freshness of the ingredients was lacking. There were some sinews in the fish, and overall it was a bit dry. Thank you for the meal.

This is a place where you can easily enjoy a sushi lunch. There are table seats available, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and they offer reasonably priced courses. The texture of the tuna was not the best for the price, but all the other toppings were great value for money! Highly recommended for beginners at the sushi counter.

A delicious and wallet-friendly sushi restaurant near Kagurazaka Station✨ Kagurazaka has a nostalgic and upscale image with many gourmet restaurants. This sushi restaurant is located within a 5-minute walk from the station! With a stylish exterior and a spacious interior featuring a counter and a few table seats, the counter displays the day's ingredients, making the dining experience exciting. The sushi I had at this restaurant was truly amazing‍♂️ ---Food--- Reasonably priced and delicious sushi course. Among them, the ones that left a lasting impression were 4 dishes! 1. Corn Tofu: Seriously, the corn in this dish was delicious. The sweet corn paired with tofu had a fluffy texture! I want to eat this at home too. 2. Mackerel Sushi: A mackerel sushi with an abundance of fat, very large and satisfying! The size was really big, and the way the fat was incorporated was incredibly delicious. 3. Uni, Toro, and Ikura Bomb: A luxurious assortment of sea urchin, salmon roe, and fatty tuna! Eating this in a roll instead of sushi allowed the flavors of the seafood to shine through without the distraction of vinegared rice, and it was dangerously delicious. 4. Uni: Rich and delicious uni. The moment I tasted it, the deliciousness spread and made me smile. It was incredibly delicious and the best!

Ebisu Sushi Yasakae, a new sushi restaurant that opened on February 23, 2022, is the sister store of the original restaurant. They offer 4 course options with a good cost-performance ratio considering their location in Kagurazaka. The sushi and side dishes are carefully prepared, resulting in a high level of satisfaction. The interior is somewhat bright with both counter and table seating options. The course includes a variety of dishes such as water octopus, Akami-zuke from Tottori Sakaiminato, sardines, Katsuo with fragrant soy sauce and new onions from Kesennuma, Anago from Nagasaki, homemade soy sauce Ikura, salt-grilled Beltfish, white squid from Shimane, marinated flounder, grilled surf clam, Chotoku Bay scallop, Kinmedai from Choshi, Shimaaji with yuzu pepper, Kanpachi marinated with yuzu pepper, Uni from Nemuro, homemade tamago, rolled sushi, clam soup, and dessert. Notable items include the special Ikura and Uni bowl, which is luxurious with generous servings of Uni and Ikura, and the Chutoro from Sakaiminato, which is very tender and delicious. The Uni from Nemuro was the best I've had recently, with a rich flavor. Overall, the course was well-balanced and satisfying in terms of portion size. The restaurant's convenient location and quality of food make it a place worth revisiting. Thank you for the meal.

The interior of the restaurant has a luxurious feel but also a cozy atmosphere, with both counter and table seating making it suitable for any occasion. The sushi is top-notch, with a variety of carefully selected ingredients. The corn agar jelly is sweet and seasonal, while the water octopus has a satisfying texture. The specialty "bakudan" sushi with sea urchin, salmon roe, negitoro, and pickled radish wrapped in seaweed is simply irresistible. The fatty tuna melts in your mouth, and the generous portion of sea urchin is outstanding. The seared golden eye snapper has a crispy skin and tender flesh with a great flavor. The portion sizes were just right and left us feeling satisfied.

The amount of sushi is amazing! It comes out in large quantities! I'm so happy! And it's delicious! The champion is the shrimp, right? I love shrimp! I want to visit again, but the prices are not so friendly. Seriously! We went with three people.

Lunch first visit. Located near Kagurazaka Station, right next to Akagi Shrine, so I visited the shrine before entering the restaurant. I had the nigiri set for 4,400 yen. The sushi pieces were small and had a mild red vinegar flavor. Easy to eat, and I think it's a good deal for those who don't drink alcohol. The price of alcohol is a bit high. If you have 3 drinks with sushi, it will be more expensive than just having sushi. The recommended sake is from a sake brewery in Mitsui-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture called "Mitsui no Kotobuki". The label is a play on words with the brewery's name and the character "Mitsui Hisashi" from the manga "Slam Dunk". 1. Yellowtail 2. White squid 3. Horse mackerel 4. Bonito 5. Medium fatty tuna 6. Scallop 7. Amberjack marinated 8. Soy sauce marinated salmon roe 9. Golden eye snapper 10. Purple sea urchin 11. Rolled omelette 12. Iron egg roll Additional dish - Hokkigai clam

I dropped in for lunch on a Saturday. They welcomed my baby stroller without any issues. I forgot to bring a container for my baby's food, so they kindly lent me a sturdy plate that wouldn't break and a spoon. They have a variety of seating options, including tables, private rooms, and a counter, which is great. Even though lunch service ends at 2:00, they allowed me to stay until around 2:30, which I really appreciate. The staff was very kind and attentive, and the chairs were comfortable. I always pass by this place when using Kagurazaka Station, and I'm glad I finally tried their reasonably priced sushi lunch. I particularly enjoyed the flounder and bonito sushi, which matched my taste perfectly. The only minor issues were that the salmon roe was slightly salty and some shellfish had a slightly fishy aftertaste. It might not bother others as much, though. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and everything else. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went on a sophisticated sushi date in Kagurazaka. After passing through a quiet residential area, we arrived at a modern-looking sushi restaurant. The dishes, which you eat like hand-rolled sushi, were amazing. The head chef was lively and engaging in conversation. I really enjoyed the texture of the sushi rice. Oh, and the chairs at the counter were soft and fluffy. Quite unusual...

Lunch omakase course with draft beer for about 10,000 yen for 22 people. The isaki, katsuo, and aji were good. The tuna akami and chutoro were delicious, and the hotate, kanpachi, and ikura were also tasty. The small donburi with kinmedai and aburi toro were highlights. The uni and tamago were also good. The meal was quick, finishing in just one hour with only nigiri. The wasabi was a bit strong at times, maybe because we were talking about it. They must have been considerate to add more, but it was not intentional. The sushi rice was on the larger side, so even men should be satisfied. I asked for smaller pieces from the second serving and it was just right, not too filling.

I went to a business dinner with a client. The atmosphere was very stylish and clean, a really nice place. The service was okay, the young sushi chef who served us was friendly but seemed a bit lacking in knowledge. The food was delicious, especially the mackerel roll and the fatty tuna. Overall, if I ever feel like having sushi in Kagurazaka again, I would definitely come back. Thank you for the meal! 🍣🍣

While looking for lunch in Kagurazaka, I stumbled upon a promising sushi restaurant next to Akagi Shrine. I made a reservation for their special Spring Enjoyment Course, which was discounted from 19,800 yen to 14,300 yen. It was my first visit, and I was impressed by the appetizers and grilled dishes, but the sushi made with red vinegar rice was exceptional! They were accompanied by excellent sake from Fukushima, such as Shirakawa and Hirodogawa. The friendly chef also added to the enjoyable dining experience.

The timing of meal service, the way they interacted with us, everything about the service was fantastic. Every dish was delicious, and I would love to visit again during the changing seasons. I had some sake, and I enjoyed being able to choose my own sake cup, it added a playful touch to the experience.

Yaei Sushi is a restaurant located near Kagurazaka Station where you can enjoy authentic Edomae sushi at a reasonable price. It is a recommended place even for those trying sushi for the first time! I tried the special course this time, starting with firefly squid and fresh oysters, and the first sushi was salted bonito from Shibakami. It was so fatty and melted in my mouth. The lineup at the start was amazing! Every sushi and dish I tried was a delight. I was particularly impressed by the salted bonito, Donchicchi horse mackerel, famous Bakudan, and seared golden snapper. The salted bonito was thickly sliced and melted in my mouth with its high-quality fat. The Donchicchi horse mackerel, a brand horse mackerel, had more fat than usual and was very delicious. The famous Bakudan is a roll with minced tuna, pickled radish, sea urchin, salmon roe, and myoga mixed well and wrapped in seaweed. It was really delicious! As expected, it's a famous dish. The seared golden snapper had crispy skin and a fragrant aroma that spread in my mouth. The golden snapper was very plump and the flesh was firm and very delicious! Everything was delicious, and you could enjoy high-quality sushi at a reasonable price in a cozy sushi restaurant without feeling too formal. It's a restaurant I would recommend to sushi beginners or first-time visitors. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I made a reservation for 6:00 pm on a holiday and visited the restaurant! It's located very close to Kagurazaka Station.

The dessert is homemade and you can choose from 3 options. Despite being almost fully booked, the hospitality was outstanding, with attention to the amount of sake, water, and hospitality. The head chef, who is surprisingly in his late 30s, is very friendly and easy to talk to. There are various courses available for lunch and dinner, and message plates can also be prepared for celebrations. A great deal for a limited time in April and May, with a course originally priced at 18,000 yen now available for 13,000 yen. I would love to visit this sushi restaurant again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

We made a reservation for two on a regular night and visited for the first time. Located very close to Kagurazaka Station, Kagurazaka Sushi Yasakari opened in February 2022. The courses range from 3300 yen for lunch to 11000 yen for dinner, allowing you to enjoy seasonal ingredients from all over Japan at a great cost performance. The interior of the restaurant has a luxurious feel yet is a relaxing space! There are counter seats, table seats, and private rooms available. Some customers came in casually, so it seems easy to use without hesitation. On this day, we ordered the omakase course. ▷ Firefly squid with vinegar miso dressing (Toyama) Firefly squid from Toyama in season. You can feel the season. It was slightly warm, sweet, and delicious. There was also a side of angelica leaf blanched in broth, adding a nice bitterness. ▷ Fresh oyster (Mie Prefecture Momokomachi) A brand oyster. The flesh is large, plump, creamy, and delicious. ▷ Medium fatty tuna (Miyagi Shiogama) The fat is sweet, the seaweed is just right, and it was amazing. ▷ Horse mackerel It was firm and delicious. ▷ First bonito (Kagoshima) Genuinely fresh first bonito. It was delicious with three pieces, and the combination of ponzu, lightly seared smokiness, and yuzu fragrance was a perfect match. ▷ Mackerel sushi roll It's big! The soft mackerel flesh and the smoky flavor seared in front of you are irresistible. The vinegar seasoning is just right and delicious. ▷ Bakudan (medium fatty tuna, pickled radish, purple sea urchin, salmon roe) A style where you can make your own hand rolls with everyone's favorite ingredients. Needless to say, it's delicious. The texture of the pickled radish is also amazing. ▷ Sardine (Ishikawa Prefecture) A beautiful sardine. It's packed with fat and also delicious. The other nigiri sushi were beautifully crafted and we were able to relax and enjoy delicious sushi. I would love to visit again. ▼ Order ----------- - - food- - - - Course + extras around 14000 yen ▷ Firefly squid with vinegar miso dressing (Toyama) ▷ Fresh oyster (Mie Prefecture Momokomachi) ▷ Medium fatty tuna (Miyagi Shiogama) ▷ Horse mackerel ▷ First bonito (Kagoshima) ▷ Mackerel sushi roll ▷ Bakudan (medium fatty tuna, pickled radish, purple sea urchin, salmon roe) ▷ Deep-fried red snapper with green onion sauce ▷ White squid ▷ Sardine (Ishikawa Prefecture) ▷ Ark shell ▷ Marinated lean tuna ▷ Marinated amberjack ▷ Flounder fin seared ▷ Gizzard shad (Choshi) ▷ Sea urchin ▷ Egg ▷ Red clam and cucumber roll ▷ Creme brulee with wasanbon sugar - -drink- - - - - ▷ Draft beer ▷ Ginger ale ▷ Tea - -charge- - - - - ▷ 8% service charge ▼ Date of visit ------ April 2023 (weekday) 7:30 pm ▼ Reservation/waiting time - yes/no ▼ Location ---------- 2 minutes walk from Kagurazaka Station ▼ Number of people ---------- 2 people ▼ Budget ---------- Lunch 3300 yen~, Dinner 11000 yen~ per person
