Sushi Keita

Chef Keita Aoyama opened this place in 2017, and a Michelin star soon followed. He’s a Hokkaido-born chef who mastered the Tokyo sushi style, and now enjoys a reputation as one of the best chefs in the Tsukiji area. He goes beyond great knife-work, even controlling the temperature at which each piece of sushi is served to best match the topping. The rice is seasoned with red vinegar in the original, historic style, with just a little salt. His full omakase course features around a half dozen appetizers and 16 nigiri! These move across the pescatarian color spectrum from red-fleshed fish to white. Be sure to book ahead to land a spot here. There are only 7 seats at the counter, and they’re in high demand. Equally so in the daytime, because the lunch service here is actually one of the best Michelin star dining deals in all of Tsukiji!
