Sushi Restaurantes

Wonderful Omakase experience. Menu items were excellent and beautifully prepared. Chef was charming and entertaining. A perfect traditional Japanese experience.

An Unforgettable Sushi Experience in Tokyo! I visited Okuakasaka Sushi Tanji with two friends, and it was easily one of our favorite dining experiences in Japan. The minimalist interior creates a peaceful and elegant atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Every dish felt refined and carefully prepared. Each piece of sushi had a wonderful balance of umami, sweetness, and saltiness. The aged fish was buttery and tender, pairing beautifully with the warm, seasoned sushi rice. The aged tuna nigiri was a highlight, as was the straw-grilled smoked fish with its wonderful aroma. The beautiful Japanese ceramics also made every course a pleasure to look at. The chefs and staff were warm and welcoming and spoke excellent English, making the experience very comfortable for international guests. The intimate hinoki cypress counter also added to the special atmosphere. One of the best surprises came at the end. We were led into a hidden traditional tatami tea room, where the chef prepared fresh matcha served with a seasonal wagashi sweet. It was a peaceful and memorable way to finish the evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special omakase experience in Tokyo!

The food at Sushi Tanji was the main highlight of the experience. Each piece of sushi felt carefully prepared, with a good balance between the softness of the fish and the texture of the rice. Some pieces were richer and fattier, while others were lighter and cleaner, so the omakase never felt repetitive. The flavours were fresh, delicate and well balanced rather than overly salty or heavy. What surprised me most was the dessert at the end. The matcha was prepared in front of me in a small traditional room, which made it feel much more special. It was slightly bitter and earthy, and it paired perfectly with the muscat daifuku. The daifuku was soft and chewy, while the muscat inside was extremely juicy and sweet. Honestly, the matcha and muscat daifuku were probably my favourite part of the whole meal. The sushi was excellent, but that final combination was what I remembered most after leaving.

such a special and memorable experience! 🍣🍵✨ The sushi was amazing, and I loved how the chefs explained where each fish came from. I could ask questions and even learn how to pronounce some of the fish names in Japanese, so I actually learned a lot during the meal. I normally don’t like squid or scallop, but this was the first sushi restaurant where I genuinely enjoyed the scallop! But the absolute highlight was the tea ceremony. 🍵 I had never experienced matcha like this before. I always thought matcha prepared with water was supposed to be very bitter, but this was incredibly smooth, rich and delicious. We were also served a traditional Japanese sweet alongside it, which was the perfect way to finish the experience. I was also completely surprised by the hidden tea room! The whole concept is so unique and intimate, and I think it would be perfect for a birthday, anniversary, date, or any special occasion. If you’re travelling all the way to Japan, I really believe you should treat yourself to experiences like this. It’s so much more than just dinner it’s food, Japanese culture, hospitality and craftsmanship all in one unforgettable experience. The chefs were also incredibly polite and welcoming… and very handsome men, I have to say.

Incredible food. It was slightly difficult to find in basement of building and it’s an extremely…extremely busy area. We aimed to arrive 15 minutes early and drive that was supposed to be 20 minutes took 45. They were very kind and still allowed us to enjoy meal. Chef and team were incredible and each course prepared to perfection. Highly recommend Ajuta.

This was our second visit with Nishiazabu Kamikura. It was a superb dining experience with a star sushi chef and staff! We will definitely return on our next visit to Tokyo.

The best experience of my life! Thank you so much

Such an amazing experience

The restaurant has a beautiful, quiet entrance without being intimidating. When you think of omakase, it can feel quite strict and severe, but I felt comfortable to talk and interact with both the staff and my seatmates. The staff fluently speaks Japanese and English, making the experience easy for both local and international customers. It was great to hear both the English and Japanese names and origins for the fish. The sushi was incredibly tender, melt in your mouth, with subtle flavors and perfectly seasoned. It's difficult to choose an outstanding dish, as the quality was high. The chutoro and uni were my favorites. That said, the anago was a surprise hit! There were a lot of servings but it was just the right amount, so you won't feel too full to move after. The post-meal tea ceremony in the special room was a great ender to the meal.

I had such a wonderful experience at Sushi Tanji! Everything was delicious, but as a huge matcha lover, I especially loved that the experience ended with a traditional tea ceremony. It was such a beautiful and unexpected way to finish the omakase. Even though I live in Tokyo, as a foreigner, I’m always happy to discover and experience more of Japanese culture, and this was such a special way to do so. I also loved sharing the omakase experience with my friends. I think it would be such a lovely choice for a birthday, a girls’ night, a date night, or any special occasion. The chef was incredibly kind and explained everything to us in both English and Japanese, which made the experience feel very welcoming and easy to enjoy. Special mention to the anago (eel?) that was melting in our mouth, first time I eat something like that, it was exquisite!

It was my first omakase sushi experience and I am extremely happy with my choice. The restaurant offers counter seats with a great view of the sushi chefs skillfully preparing each piece and delivering it in front of you. The chefs were friendly and spoke English, which was very useful when trying a surprising variety of different fish. The sushi itself was well-balanced and fresh, showing amazing attention to detail and quality. From medium fatty tuna to sardines, each bite was a unique and satisfying experience. I especially enjoyed anago (sea eel), which instantly melts in your mouth. I feel like it helped me learn a lot about traditional Japanese cuisine. Another highlight of the dinner was ending it with a tea ceremony. It is held in a separate room, which you have to enter by crawling through an opening in the wall. Once inside, you can enjoy the calm of a beautiful Japanese style room while the chef prepares high quality matcha in a traditional way. It was a nice opportunity to appreciate and reflect on the whole experience while drinking tea. As the restaurant menu changes seasonally, I would love to come back again!

Excellent Omakase. Friendly staff. Everything was amazing. The produce was on a really high level. Recommend this place.
