Hyperlocal Tokyo

June 8th I had dinner here today. I stopped by on a whim. It was a little over ¥4,400 per person. The vinegar seasoning, rice, and toppings were all delicious, so the price was justified. There were also some creative sushi rolls. Since it's a standing-only restaurant, it's not suitable for those who want to eat leisurely. It was so delicious that I overate. It was a pre-flight meal, but this restaurant allows you to take sushi on board the plane! 🍣 That's great. The packed sets are also reasonably priced at around ¥1350. It's a good amount of food that will definitely fill you up. The shrimp miso soup was also rich and flavorful, absolutely delicious. This is a place I'd like to visit again for any occasion.

This is a standing sushi restaurant with a bright interior. I stopped in to grab a quick bite after returning from overseas, as I had a bus to catch. I assumed it would be a fast-paced sushi place. The young girl who showed me to my seat was very helpful. However, the touch screen was unresponsive, making ordering quite stressful. At the same time, there were only about four other customers, yet the service was incredibly slow. I placed my order, but the slow service made me anxious about my bus, so I quickly ate a few plates and left. The sign near the entrance advertised "1 plate from 150 yen," which seemed affordable at first glance, but that was only for one specific item. In the end, if you order good quality ingredients, the price is comparable to other sushi restaurants. *This is not a comparison to regular sushi restaurants, but to conveyor belt sushi restaurants.*

This is a casual sushi stand where you can order easily using a touch panel and enjoy affordable prices. While a single piece of medium fatty tuna (chutoro) can easily cost over 500 yen in Southeast Asia, here it was only 330 yen. It's the perfect place to quickly grab some sushi before heading overseas, especially if you want to try some of the more popular ingredients. The seafood here is delicious, and personally, I always make sure to eat here before traveling abroad, especially if I'm going to a place with a lot of seafood.

It's a routine for me to eat sushi before traveling abroad. The ordering system is touch-panel, so it's hassle-free and I was able to enjoy my meal comfortably throughout. Of course, the sushi was delicious, but I especially loved the creative sushi, particularly the vegetable sushi, and I even ordered seconds. The chefs were also very friendly and explained the ingredients to me, making it a fun sushi experience. I liked it so much that I even went back for more on my way out of the airport, walking all the way from the arrival lobby to the departure lobby! I was so impressed that I went to the Shinjuku branch later, but... I think I'll just drive back to Narita to eat there again. ^ ^

On January 15, 2024, I happened to walk by and saw sardines on the menu, which I love, so I went in. The friendly chef made me some, and I enjoyed the sardines, which I haven't seen at sushi restaurants lately. (^-^)🍣♪ While the other sushi is delicious, I think nothing beats sardines! (*'-'*)! I'll definitely have sardines again when I visit Narita Airport Terminal 2. Oh, and the wakame miso soup was good too!
