What to know

Yamayuki Honmaguro Nigiri, Uni Nigiri, Abalone Nigiri, and Anago (Eel) Nigiri anchor the omakase experience at Sushi Hashimoto. Many sushi counters focus on traditional presentations, but here the emphasis is on generous portions and hand-to-hand service. The restaurant serves Edomae sushi. "The nigiri, which can be eaten for 6,600 yen for 10 pieces, is an amazing value," notes めしと酒とセッツ (@tokyo_sets). They blend four types of red vinegar for the shari, creating a mellow acidity with strong umami. This approach ensures the rice and toppings are served at optimal temperature and pace. The atmosphere is quiet, featuring intimate counter seating and minimalist Japanese design. It is a very expensive option. There are 16 seats, with 9 at the counter and 8 in private rooms. Reservations are not always required.
