What to know

Maguro Mamire (Tuna Overload) is the signature piece at Sushibuya, a sushi and izakaya restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo's youth culture and fashion district. The dish piles tuna across the rice, and creator Carli Castellano (@carlianne) features the restaurant on TikTok with the caption "Sushibuya in Shibuya " (Sushibuya in Shibuya ). Other specialties include Salmon Blanc with ikura, Salmon Egg Benedict, Aburi Engawa (torched flounder fin), and Uni Cream Gratin. The menu runs in two formats: course meals with all-you-can-drink options and a la carte ordering. Warm dishes sit alongside the sushi, which makes the restaurant suited to everyday meals, date nights and quick bites. The room is energetic and open-kitchen, set under a train overpass, with staff who engage with diners. Reservations are recommended. The air conditioning runs strong, so diners who feel the cold should avoid seats directly under the vents. The restaurant also works well for a second round of drinks after dinner, and groups can order a course with all-you-can-drink to keep the table moving.
