On Sunday morning, I called without much hope, and surprisingly, they said after one would be fine, so I visited for the first time in a while. It’s a tiny shop with only 5 counter seats, but plenty of people order takeaway too, so the owner is always extremely busy. I had Special otoro sushi and half a portion of chutoro sushi too. Melting otoro, chutoro with an irresistibly silky mouthfeel. The luxury of eating my fill while comparing them—pure happiness. Whenever I come to Jujo, I also end up visiting an udon or ramen shop and overeating… what a luxurious problem! #町寿司 #寿司 #大トロ #中トロ #十条グルメ #東京グルメ#グルメ #グルメ巡り #美味しい #美味しいご飯 #美味しいお店 #美味しいもの巡り #美味しいもの大好き #東京グルメ巡り #東京いい店#東京いい店うまい店#東京いい店やれる店#ホイチョイ#馬場康夫#tokyo #tokyofoodie #tokyorestaurant #tokyofood#japanesefood #japanesefoodie#japanesefoods #japanesefoodlovers#チャイが好き Friday, just before １２３０ at lunchtime. I called from Shinjuku without much hope, and was told, “One person is fine!” I quickly jumped on a train and came over. On the train, I agonized over what to order, and concluded: the top-grade set plus as much otoro as I could eat. I entered before １, but it was nearly full. Impressive, as expected! It’s a model neighborhood sushi shop. Rather than lingering over small dishes, everyone quickly eats their nigiri and pays. The chef looks cool as he quietly makes sushi. It arrived in about １０ minutes. ●Top-grade set Akami Chutoro Squid Sea bream Shrimp Uni Ikura Tekka ２ pieces Egg ●Otoro ２ pieces First of all, the lightly vinegared sushi rice is delicious! Everything tastes good, but especially the uni. Sweet and creamy. It melts irresistibly in your mouth. And then the otoro. The mouthfeel, the melting fat, the sweetness. To get this at this price! I’m impressed. Next time I definitely want the all-otoro selection! #町寿司 #十条グルメ #寿司 #かわなみ鮨 #東京グルメ#グルメ #グルメ巡り #美味しい #美味しいご飯 #美味しいお店 #美味しいもの巡り #美味しいもの大好き #東京グルメ巡り #東京いい店#東京いい店うまい店#東京いい店やれる店#ホイチョイ#馬場康夫#tokyo #tokyofoodie #tokyorestaurant #tokyofood#japanesefood #japanesefoodie#japanesefoods #japanesefoodlovers#チャイが好き

I like all kinds of sushi, expensive and inexpensive, but for delicious sushi offering the best performance in time, cost, and atmosphere, it’s かわなみ鮨. Close to the station. The chef’s work is excellent. I always ordered the premium set and then more, but they’ve introduced omakase, which is good too. The chutoro and otoro melt and dissolve so completely that there’s almost no boundary between them. The anago falls apart tenderly too. The shellfish are fresh, and the squid has a nice bite. It’s small, with 6 counter seats, but even waiting is enjoyable. If you love sushi, I really want you to go.

A tiny shop with only about ６ counter seats. Evening opening had changed to 16:30. It was fully booked, perhaps because of GW, but they let me in if I could stay for roughly an hour. Very kind. The rice is firm, which I like. The acclaimed otoro has a good balance of topping and rice. I felt I could keep eating it endlessly. I ordered extra shima-aji and anago, both thick cuts too. Thank you for the meal. Reservations and takeaway orders kept coming in, perhaps because it’s popular locally. I’d like to return.

Detailed rating 3.9 I visited かわなみ鮨, a sushi shop in Jujo. Counter seats had been reserved for us, and today’s meetup was for 4 people. The space is very compact, so we sat squeezed together. I arrived a little before the reservation time, but the organizer was already there, so I joined them. I ordered bottled beer and got an early start. First, they served southern bluefin tuna sashimi. It was so generously piled up that I was surprised to see that much right from the start. The food and drinks went down easily. We quickly finished the bottled beer and moved on to sake. 翆玉 junmai ginjo Akita Prefecture Filefish Another mountain of food. We had it with liver ponzu. Striped jack A fish that’s aji, yet not quite aji. Nicely fatty, with umami that lingers in the mouth. 山本ブルーラベル Partially frozen sake. Dashimaki tamago Horse mackerel and sardines These came in generous portions too. We refreshed our palates with narazuke. あかぶ Iwate Prefecture The red helmet label looks cool. Squid and octopus 花陽浴 八反錦 This is a sake I like. From here, the nigiri arrived all at once. Otoro, uni, anago, kohada, aoyagi, sayori, otoro roll. The nigiri toppings were of quite good quality, and I enjoyed every piece. Apparently, it originally operated as a takeaway shop, then installed a counter and began serving nigiri. It’s a great-value place that makes you want to visit frequently.

A traditional Edomae neighborhood sushi shop with ６ counter seats. The chef, who looks like he’s been doing this for decades, calmly makes the sushi. Every piece is brushed with nikiri soy sauce, ready to go straight into your mouth. They’re slightly small, with just the right vinegar level, and come apart nicely in the mouth. It’s been a while since I found a place that suits my taste. They seem to use quality toppings: the otoro has a pleasant amount of sweet fat, and the uni was from Ogawa. The thick omelet is softly made and falls apart gently too. At ¥2200, this is an exceptional bargain. Maybe next time I’ll order individual choices.
