Ningyocho Shinodazushi Sohonten 人形町 志乃多寿司 總本店

Inari and futomaki specialist in Ningyocho since 1877: sweet-simmered tofu pouches and kanpyo rolls made the same way for nearly 150 years. Perfect cheap picnic sushi.

About

Not a nigiri counter but a slice of Edo food history: Shinodazushi opened in 1877 (Meiji 10) and still specialises in inari-zushi (rice in sweet-savoury fried tofu pouches) and rolls such as kanpyo-maki and futomaki. The tofu skins are simmered and then rested for several days so the seasoning soaks through, giving a deep, glossy flavour that regulars swear by. It is a takeaway shop in the old theatre and geisha district of Ningyocho, ideal for a train picnic or a snack on a walk around Amazake Yokocho and Suitengu shrine.

Highlights

• Inari pouches rested for days so the broth soaks through
• Kanpyo-maki and thick futomaki rolls in the Edo style
• Boxed sets wrapped to travel, great for shinkansen picnics
• Located in Ningyocho, one of Tokyo's best old-town strolls

Tips

• Pair with a walk down Amazake Yokocho and a stop at Suitengu shrine
• Smaller boxes of inari plus kanpyo-maki make the best sampler
• Inari keeps well for a few hours, so buy before a train journey
• Go mid-morning for the full selection
