Uoriki Kaisen Sushi

You want to try some really high grade sushi in Tokyo, but you’ve seen the crazy price tags at the top restaurants, right? Don’t worry; this absolute lifehack of a restaurant allows you to try some of the city’s best sushi for the same price as a standard lunch! One of Shibuya’s best-kept local secrets, Uoriki Kaisen Sushi is housed on the basement level of the Tokyu Department Store, right next to Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The reason they can offer premium sushi for a low price is that they act as brokers between market traders or fishermen and other stores. If you grab a place at their 10-seat counter, you can snatch the best of it before it finds its way onto a highly-priced plate elsewhere! Their chirashidon (rice bowl topped with sushi) is a photogenic favorite. This jam-packed bowl of rice and fresh seafood is one of the best value gourmet deals in town, with many types of fish to try. Their nigiri (standard sushi pieces) are also delicious. Don’t waste your time with tourist traps, or blow your money on ridiculously priced meals! For super fresh, high-quality sushi in Shibuya, Uoriki Kaisen Sushi ticks every box.
