Hello, TTT hive mind.
How's everyone doing?
I need your help! Looking for a restaurant in Tokyo with some specific requirements:
- lunch on a Monday
- not too far from my hotel in Toranomon (let's say, within 20 minutes of Toranomon via subway/train)
- sushi, tempura, or yakitori (yes, I know most yakitori shops are not open for lunch)
- relatively easy to book (via hotel concierge or paid service)
- budget: max of Y25,000
Where would you go? Thank you in advance for your recommendations.
guest
Oh, I forgot to mention, the lunch course shouldn't last more than 90 minutes max (need to get bags from the hotel and travel to the airport for my flight home after lunch)
JJ
Instead of stressing over whether the fancy course meal will end in time for your flight, why not just eat something casual? 90mins is not a lot of time, and there are always factors out of your control (eg other guests arriving 10mins late to a simultaneous start). It's quite a stressful situation, having been in that position a few times
guest
Hi JJ,
Thanks for your response. Do you have any actual suggestions for restaurants? Nowhere in my post does it state I'm looking for anything fancy. Happy to get some suggestions of casual sushi, tempura, or yakitori places that have great food on a Monday at lunch.
For example, Sushi Take in Ginza fits all my parameters. Typically, when I eat there, the lunch takes less than 60 minutes.
Looking for other options like that.

Tomidokoro nigiri lunch though not friendly to book unless you're Japanese. 2nd choice would be Yukimura (tempura)
guest
Thank you. Kakiage at Yukimura looks delicious; keeping that option in mind for sure!

Hello TTT, I am visiting Tokyo in July and looking for sushi recommendations. Specifically, looking for omakase course <30,000 per person at dinner. Based on perusing Tabelog and other blogs, we have come up with some of the following options and curious if anyone has any insight into these. Also open to other places as well (bonus if some English is spoken):
1. Takumi Sushi Owana
2. Manten Sushi
3. Sushi Suzuki (lunch course)
4,. Hatsunezushi (specifically the apprentice course)
5. Sushi Muku
guest
Not recommend Manten Sushi if you have such budget.

Hi TTT, I'm a bit curious about Sushi Takamitsu
1) What is the reservation method currently? I know they sometimes release cancellations on omakase but other than that, are they intro-only?
2) What are some recommended alternatives with a similar focus on uni?
Thanks

TableAll dumped some reservation openings a couple months ago for the rest of the year, some are still open --> because some seats are 100+ k yen (include drinks), others at ~60k

@francium34 do you know if they take calls directly, or TableAll would be the only way?

I've only got two days in Tokyo and managed to book Hashiguchi and Sushisho Saito for dinner. Can i get some feedback on my options? Considering the limited number of days in Tokyo, should i look for other sushiyas or stick to my reservations.
guest
"Hashiguchi" isn't difficult, but I believe making a reservation for "Saito" on the desired date might be a bit challenging.
guest
Sushisho Saito looks like more towards tourists. If I were you will try Sushi Yuuki.
guest
@guest Hi, how long in advance did u call to make a reservation at Hashiguchi? Thanks!
guest
one month.

IG: whimsofawanderlustOur group had fun at Sushi Sho Saito, ate a bunch of tsumami and nigiri while drinking plenty of nihonshu. Depends on what you are looking for I guess. Perfect for my drinking buddies.
guest
Agreed with wanderlusting. Perfect if you like to drink and have tsunami. Have to say for sure without indicating your previous experience and preference.
guest
Hard to*
guest
Hello, has anybody been to Sushi Meino? Is it worth the price? Any tips for a reservation? Calling? Instagram? or is it just cancellations through Omakase? Thank you.
guest
Impossible to book already.
