Recent Reviews from Guests1 / 3
Amazing experience, this was our first time trying an omakase with an adventurous menu as we only have tried it outside Japan in America, where the options are more conservative. Couldn’t believe how amazing each bite was, and the staff was so friendly and respectful, they even walked us out at the end of the meal to the top of the stairs. we can’t wait to return here on our next trip to Japan!

Sushi Hajime (Shibuya)
Restaurant in Tokyo
Two (!) taxis dropped us off at the wrong location so we were 30 minutes late, and grateful to still be allowed in for our dinner reservation. The food was exceptional and the service and ambiance impeccable. The chef is a true artist and we enjoyed his craftsmanship as much as our actual dinner. Highly recommend, thank you for having us.

Nishiazabu Sushi Shin
Restaurant in Tokyo
I have been to many omakase restaurants in Japan and in other parts of the world. Sushi Hajime is one of the best sushi experiences that I ever have. First of all, for the night that I went, whole restaurant is local Japanese customers except us, this means the restaurant is well liked by locals as well. All the sushi presented were fresh and seasoned perfectly. The restaurant is well lit with comfortable counter seating that is not pretentious. The service was excellent and they showed that they are experienced with foreign customers as well. Am surprised that it is relatively easy to book via this web site. Highly recommended for quality sushi with very reasonable price point.
