Experience Details

Even Japanese people can be overwhelmed by the ambiance at the sushi counter. You get the feeling that if you utter anything, you may be asked to leave. If you don’t muster up the courage, you pay and go home without much to say of the evening.


Eating sushi at a counter is not inherently dull. So why do sushi meals so often end up this way? The problem is a lack of knowledge, and feeling like you’re the visiting team on the field.


Contrary to their countenance, most sushi chefs are experts in the art of conversation. They value the back and forth with regulars, have a keen memory, and can recall details about regulars.


You might not remember what you ate during the Omakase meal. You know you ate tuna. But where was it caught? Was it from the belly or back? How long had the fish been matured? If you ask the chef, you’ll be able to make a comparison upon your next visit. This will improve your sushi literacy and lead to a better awareness of your preferences.


But there are limitations to the time allowed for conversation. In a 2-hour Omakase course, there may be 5 minutes for conversation. Newcomers often can’t get a word in after the initial greeting.


That’s for Japanese customers. What about foreign customers who don’t speak Japanese? Conversation is impossible, but the sushi is delicious, right? Perhaps, but you’ll end up with the small-world view cultivated for you by the media, limited to whether or not the fish is fatty, fresh, and firm. That is something you can experience anywhere that sushi is served in the world.


We offer a different experience. You get a seat in front of the sushi chef (a spot usually reserved for regulars), an expert interpreter by your side. During the Omakase show, the chef explains each piece of sushi and answers all your questions. We prepare a translated menu, so you won’t be able to say you don’t know what you ate. All you need to do is forget time and immerse yourself in Edo-style sushi, a staple of Japanese food culture.

Experience Location

Tokyo, Japan’s capital city is made up of the 23 wards of Tokyo and the former Tokyo Prefecture. Every ward has its own attractions. Shibuya is famous for the Shibuya Crossing (the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing), nightlife, and quirky Harajuku. The ward of Shinjuku mixes business and pleasure, with office buildings in the west and Kabukicho (the red-light district) in the northeast. Chuo Ward is home to Ginza, a high-end shopping district, while Taito-ku holds on to culture and history in the form of Sensoji Temple and retro shopping streets like Ameya-Yokocho & Yanaka Ginza.
