Tokyo’s sushi counters offer several ways to enjoy an omakase meal, in which the chef chooses the selection. For a published lunch price, consider Sushi Keita in Tsukiji, Sanosushi near Shibakoen, or Tomidokoro near Onarimon. For a Ginza dinner, compare Sushi Kanesaka’s counter with Harutaka. In Roppongi, Sukiyabashi Jiro’s branch serves both lunch and dinner.

The ten restaurants below appeared in Tabelog’s Sushi Tokyo 100 Famous Restaurants 2025 list. The numbers preserve the guide’s editorial order, which prioritized Michelin listings, award records and visitor information; they are not a ranking of taste.

Planning a visit to Sushidokoro Yamato? The restaurant moved from Tsukiji to Hatchobori on July 9, 2026. Use its new address when planning your route.

How to choose a sushi restaurant

Start with the neighborhood you’ll already be visiting, then compare lunch and dinner courses:

• For a nigiri-focused lunch: Keita lists a ¥14,000 lunch course, while Sanosushi lists one at ¥14,300. Both prices include tax; Keita adds a service charge.
• For a Ginza counter: Kanesaka publishes its hours and telephone number. Its main restaurant offers omakase at market price and accepts guests aged 30 and over.
• For a published dinner-course price: Matsuura lists a ¥20,000 omakase including tax and service.
• For an online booking route: Hashimoto directs guests to OMAKASE, and Tomidokoro’s Michelin page links to TableCheck.

Compare the full cost, not just the course price. Tax, service, booking fees, drinks and extra pieces can be treated differently from one restaurant to another.

Two choices in Ginza

1. Sushi Kanesaka

Sushi Kanesaka’s Ginza main restaurant has an eight-seat basement counter. Its official website describes the menu as omakase at market price, so ask about the expected cost when booking.

• Address: Misuzu Building B1, 8-10-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku.
• Getting there: Five minutes on foot from Ginza Station exit A4 or Shimbashi Station’s Ginza exit.
• Hours: 12:00–14:00 and 17:30–22:00. Closed Sunday and Monday.
• Booking: Call 03-5568-4411. The main restaurant is for guests aged 30 and over.

The official site also lists other Kanesaka locations with their own menus. Select the Ginza main restaurant rather than using another branch’s prices for your budget. The Michelin Guide page provides another source of restaurant information.

2. Harutaka

Harutaka is a Ginza dinner option for diners who want a meal built around sushi and seasonal seafood. Its Michelin Guide page says the restaurant manages its own reservations and asks guests to contact it directly.

• Address: Ginza Jiden Building 6F, 8-3-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku.
• Getting there: Shimbashi is a convenient station for the Ginza 8-chome location; use the address above for the final walk.
• Booking: Call 03-3573-1144 and ask for the seating time, course price and total for your party.

Tsukiji, Hatchobori and Shintomicho

3. Sushidokoro Yamato

Formerly in Tsukiji, Sushidokoro Yamato now operates in Hatchobori. Its OMAKASE reservation page lists a nigiri-only course and a longer omakase.

• Getting there: Use Hatchobori Station exit A3.
• Seatings: 11:30, 17:00 and 19:45. Closing days vary.

Meals start together at the booked time. The named guest must attend and may be asked for identification; the page also says staff do not speak English.

9. Sushi Keita

Sushi Keita is a useful choice for comparing a nigiri-only lunch with a longer omakase. Its OMAKASE page publishes both.

• Seatings: Lunch starts at 12:00 on Wednesday and Saturday; dinner starts at 17:30 and 20:15. Closed Sunday and Monday.

Each seating starts together. Discuss allergies before booking: the restaurant’s page explains that extensive restrictions affecting multiple dishes can make the course unsuitable.

10. Sushi Hashimoto

• Address: Grandir Ginza East 1F, 1-8-2 Shintomi, Chuo-ku.

Roppongi, Shirokane and Shibakoen

4. Sushi Matsuura

Sushi Matsuura is a counter in a residential part of Shirokane. It is worth considering if a published dinner-course price and an English-language booking route are priorities.

• Getting there: Approximately eight minutes on foot from Shirokane-takanawa Station.
• Hours: Dinner 17:00–23:00; Saturday lunch 12:00–14:00. Closed Sunday, public holidays and alternate Mondays.

This is the Roppongi Hills branch, not the Ginza main restaurant. It is a convenient choice for a meal alongside a visit to Roppongi Hills.

• Address: Roppongi Hills Residence B 3F, 6-12-2 Roppongi, Minato-ku.
• Hours: The restaurant’s official shop page lists lunch from 11:30–14:00 and dinner from 17:00–21:00. Closed Wednesday.

The Michelin Guide page provides additional information. Use the Roppongi contact details rather than those for the Ginza branch.

How to order and book

An omakase course leaves the selection to the chef. Some courses focus on nigiri; others include small dishes before the sushi. A lunch nigiri course can therefore differ considerably from a dinner omakase at the same restaurant.

1. Choose lunch or dinner first. Keita’s ¥14,000 course is a lunch listing; Matsuura’s ¥20,000 example is a dinner listing.
2. Use the restaurant-specific booking route. Hashimoto publishes a monthly booking schedule, while Harutaka asks guests to contact it directly.
3. Compare the full cost. Look for tax, service charges, booking fees and the cost of drinks or extra pieces.
4. Discuss allergies before booking. Some counters limit substitutions, and Keita and Yamato describe restrictions on extensive dietary requirements.
5. Save the address and seating time. Several counters start guests together. Yamato may request identification, while Hashimoto asks the named guest to bring original photo ID.

Mistakes first-time visitors can avoid

• Going to an old address: Yamato moved to Hatchobori. Hashimoto’s official address is in Shintomi.
• Confusing branches: Sukiyabashi Jiro Roppongiten and the Ginza main restaurant have separate contact details.
• Comparing incomplete prices: Keita’s lunch has a separate service charge; Matsuura’s cited dinner price includes tax and service.
• Arriving late for a set seating: Check the start time in your confirmation and leave time for the walk from the station.
• Assuming every booking works the same way: Some restaurants use online platforms; others ask you to call. If you need help in English, check the reservation route before choosing a restaurant.
