Sushi Keita 鮨 けいた
One Michelin star (2026) in Tsukiji: Keita Aoyama's large nigiri with broad, thick cuts, and a kind, down-to-earth host who skips the tuna-wholesaler name-dropping.
About
The Michelin Guide notes that while many counters display tuna wholesalers' business cards as proof of status, Keita Aoyama does the opposite, and lets the food speak. Nigiri are formed large and toppings are cut broad and thick according to each fish's character, so they wrap the rice impressively. The chef's gentle temperament makes for a relaxed, unintimidating counter, and the price band is moderate for a starred shop. It sits in residential Tsukiji, a few minutes from the outer market.
Highlights
- Large nigiri with broad, thick-cut toppings
- Warm, unpretentious chef-owner
- Moderate price for a Michelin-starred counter

Tips
- Book by phone or via Omakase 2-3 weeks ahead
