Sushi Tokyo Ten Shinjuku NEWoMan

Those looking for traditional Japanese omakase sushi in the heart of Tokyo need look no further. Sushi Tokyo Ten in Shinjuku NEWoMan Food Hall offers sushi in the omakase style: a traditional Japanese way of ordering where everything is left up to the craftsman. The word "omakase" means "I will leave it to you" in Japanese. Based on what is freshest at the time, and what is in season, the chefs determine their course menus typically on the day itself. These course menus consist of small portions of various seasonal Japanese ingredients, typically alternating between hand-sculpted sushi and various small plates, usually grilled, steamed or vinegared. Each ingredient is prepared in the way that best suits it; gizzard shad (kohada) might be aged for some time to bring out a deeper umami flavor, while other fish might be served fresh from the market. Located near JR Shinjuku Station's South Gate, Sushi Tokyo Ten proves that high-end omakase sushi doesn't have to be hard to find. It's the perfect place to take a break from a busy day of shopping and traveling — and then hit the road again, full of delicious sushi.
