About

Sushi began as Edo street food, and Sushikawa's chef recreates that no-nonsense spirit: a standing counter, no drinking snacks, nigiri only, ordered one piece at a time. Toppings are prepared with old-school craftsmanship, and regulars come to chat with the chef. It earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is a short ride from Shinjuku on the Keio Line, making it a great-value alternative to pricey sit-down omakase.
