Akasaka Sushi Koshikawa

20 courses set. Each dishes are well crafted with heart. We saw chef handling the squid extraordinarily, slice it very thin and then cut them into pieces, providing the best texture for the sushi. Also a lot of other master techniques you may witness during the meal, made it a special experience. As we know a little bit of Japanese, that makes us more enjoyable with the explanations and lore about sushi. Check out the pictures with the sushi name we added. Chef is very friendly and willing to provide more about fishes whenever you asks! 👍🏻

Everything was impeccable. Each of the 20 courses was meticulously crafted and delicious, paced well, and service was perfect. I didn’t feel rushed, I wasn’t waiting long for my next piece, and the chefs and servers are nice and friendly. Make a reservation! I came solo and sat at the bar and had a great time chatting with the couple next to me and our chef.

Fantastic experience ! Koshikawa Sushi in Akasaka offers an extraordinary dining experience that sets it apart in Tokyo’s vibrant sushi scene. It is conveniently located right above Akasaka station. The chef’s dedication to creativity shines through each dish, blending traditional techniques with innovative flair, resulting in sushi that is both visually stunning and deliciously unique. Every ingredient feels carefully chosen, with flavors that are refined and balanced. The chef’s ability to introduce new twists to classic sushi while respecting Japanese culinary traditions makes each course an experience in itself. The restaurant also caters thoughtfully to a variety of dietary needs, with vegetarian options available, showing a level of flexibility not always found in traditional sushi establishments. Koshikawa Sushi also impresses with its cost performance, we were able to have top-tier quality and a memorable meal at a surprisingly reasonable price. Friendly to foreign guests, the staff’s warmth and attentiveness create a welcoming environment. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have an authentic sushi experience!

We had the pleasure of doing an Omakase lunch at Koshikawa and it was a truly wonderful experience! This was the best sushi I’ve ever had and the staff was so professional and kind! We loved watching the chef work to meticulously prepare each piece of sushi. The flavor and experience was well worth the price!

Everything was so good, the sushi was so fresh and tasty, would definitely recommend. Sake and plum wine was excellent as well.

We really enjoyed the experience, we had a special request, to have a cooked Sushi which was highly appreciated and been accommodated by the Chef.

The sushi at Koshikawa was very good. Fresh fish, fresh shrimp, and other ingredients put together by a knowledgeable sushi chef. The chef’s skill in balancing the fish with each particular sauce and the fresh wasabi made each bite to be a balancing of different tastes and textures. My favorites were medium fatty tuna, tuna, needle fish, shrimp, and the corn tempura. The course with the green tea noodles was rich, creamy, and delicious. We also had one mushroom soup (which was full of flavor), one miso soup and a dessert of sweet watermelon from Chiba. While my daughter liked everything, my not so favorites were the snapper (it lacked flavor and the fish meat was slightly tough to chew), both the salted and soy sauce sea eel (because of the mushy texture) and both squid sushi (I wonder if would taste better if it was marinated in a sweet vinegar sauce so it would firm up to a crunch and have more flavor like what I have tasted from a bento box from Daimaru basement food stall). The smoked bonito is super fragrant but its taste was average. The scallop sushi was very fresh and sweet but I thought that it could be a smaller piece or separated into two pieces. This sushi consisting of two and half scallops was a big mouthful indeed. I would have been happy with just the shrimp and medium fat tuna. On a different note, I noticed that the glass that my oolong tea came in was made of super thin glass which reminded me of the Dixie cup sized water glasses that were used at The French Laundry in California. These very good quality glasses made the liquid within it tasted refreshing. And thanks to Shizuka-san’s YouTube video for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. I will bring my daughter here again next time we both are in Tokyo. Thank you so much to everyone for the hospitality and for being so understanding. Gotso sama deshta!

Super delicious and amazing experience!! We will definitely come back again. Chef Yuji was super friendly and staff were welcoming. The dishes were very on point! Never had anything this delicious for omakase. The sushi melted in my mouth. Best way to end Japan trip!
