Sushi Sho Yotsuya

Local, Craft, Authentic Japanese food. I came across this restaurant after Tokyo marathon day 2025 from the reviews in Yotsuya area. They haven’t give us the menu and only serve Chirashi Don for lunch set. It’s awesome. They use quality and fresh ingredient. Strongly recommended!!

The honten for this famous style that has been replicated at so many shops run by apprentices. Still incredibly consistent and decent value.

Could get a reservation for dinner so we decide to drop by for lunch. Sushi sho is an Tokyo institution. Specialized in the craft of perfectly aging their fish. Great value for their Barr’s Chirashi Bowl for lunch, do drop by here early as the bowl as limited for the day. Huge chunks of perfectly marinated fish, probably 10 different varieties in my bowl. Topped over a fragrant umami rich rice. Can’t t ally beat this at ¥2000. Lunch is only available on Mondays, Wednesday and Friday. And very limited bowls so be sure to head down early. They only serve Barra chirashi for lunch so there’s no need to even order. Just show up and enjoy perfection in a bowl.

I was fortunate to try the omakase, and it was one of the best meals I've ever had! :O Nakazawa Sensei was there. Their Chirashi is also quite good. It's only available MWF.

On the first of each month reservations of the following month is released. My friend helped call early November but lunch dine-in was already fully booked for a Wed late November. Nevertheless, we secured a chirashi takeout which of course was very delicious.

You know, all my life I was waiting to actually try sushi from a real chef from Tokyo. I couldn't have imagined the difference between sushis in Tokyo and in North America or even Europe. We picked sushi-sho because it was one of the top rated by tokyo people and also because the concierge of our hotel recommended it. It was simply amazing. A very small shop, lost in a building. The chef and his chef greeted us when we arrived. and, we assumed, since we were white, we sat with the sous chef that had a very good english (not so sure about the main chef). What a delight! We had around 30 different kind of sushis, sashimis, seafood or specialties and it was simply incredible. The chef looked at us every time we had a bit, to make sure we were happy. The sake was amazing and surprisingly, very cheap. I would definitely go again. Thanks to the amazing staff!

I had the good fortune of lucking into a dinner slot without an advanced reservation. The Omakase course was fantastic, consisting of 20-30 individual, unique bites, each a work of art. I highly recommend Sushi-sho, although you will need advanced reservations and should plan to be there for around 2 hours.
