Nestled quietly in the East Azabu district, Sushi Takae offers a refined yet approachable take on the traditional Edo-style sushi experience. From the moment you step into the intimate eight-seat counter space, you are greeted by the calm energy of a restaurant that treats each guest as a valued visitor. The chef sources top-quality fish from Toyosu and pairs it with seasonal vegetables and a standout fillet of beef, reflecting a creative balance of sushi and Japanese cuisine. Enjoy delicate pieces of nigiri that melt in your mouth, a subtle interplay of vinegared rice and freshly caught seafood, followed by inventive vegetable accompaniments and the richness of meat. The setting is warm and quiet – a perfect choice for a special dinner whether with friends or as a meaningful meeting. Located just a five-minute walk from Azabu-Jūban Station Exit 6, Sushi Takae presents itself as a hidden gem amidst Tokyo’s vibrant dining scene. Whether you’re an experienced sushi lover or seeking something new, the experience here is designed to surprise and delight. Reservations are advised, given the limited seating and the aim to provide focused attention to each guest. Sushi Takae’s omakase course features sushi and creative Japanese cuisine made from carefully selected ingredients. The fish comes straight from Toyosu Fish Market, the vegetables are seasonally and locally sourced, and the wagyu Japanese beef is top-tier. Chef Hiroyuki Takae draws from years of experience to transform quality ingredients, using the right techniques for each dish. The interior integrates modern Japanese design with a calm atmosphere, and is appropriate for business, special occasions, and romantic evenings.
