Sushi Hatsume Shinjuku

Such a great deal for the price! About 10,000 yen for 22 courses, which is the best bang-for-your-buck I've seen so far. Their concept is also so inventive, they serve tons of unique dishes with a mix of a traditional and modern style. The staff were so friendly and speak very good English! Definitely tourist friendly. The restaurant is very clean, and they play some relaxing music in the background. Will definitely visit again next time.

One of my best omakase experiences I have had so far, the chef was very attentive and explained every dish to us! The food was very delicious! I liked the modern atmosphere with good lighting for my picture taking. Even for my daughter who is really picky on food, she enjoyed so much as well! Definitely recommended for anyone who loves sushi and nearby Shinjuku area. Lastly, it easily costs twice the money if we were having the same meal in NYC.

It was an absolutely fantastic decision from start to finish. The entire experience was delightful, but two things truly stood out: the exceptional food and the brilliant Chef Michi. The dishes were a revelation. Each plate was not only beautifully presented but showcased a level of **creativity** that was truly impressive. The best part was the undeniable **freshness of the fish**; it melted in my mouth. It's clear that the kitchen prioritizes quality and innovation. However, the true highlight of the night was **Chef Michi**. His bright and engaging personality lit up the room. He was passionate, took the time to explain dishes, and his energy made the meal feel special and personalized. He is a real treasure for that restaurant. We left already planning our next visit. Hatsume is more than just a meal; it's a memorable experience. I highly recommend it for any special occasion, or just if you're looking for incredible Japanese cuisine served with heart.

I have no words to describe my experience at Shinjuku Sushi Hatsume. Exceptional, perfect, and beyond… Incredible flavors. The chefs are adorable and incredibly talented. A true show of skill and taste. This omakase is a must-experience in your lifetime.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I felt the pace was a little fast in the beginning, but it got better towards the second half of the omakase. There was lots of food in the 22 courses. I enjoyed the flavours of everything. Good value for the price they charge.

This was such an amazing experience. I tried many types of fish that I never thought I would have had the opportunity to eat! The layers of flavor were so complex and worked so well with the Sake pairing. Highly recommended if you are in Tokyo! Reservations made through tabelog.

This omakase was such a wonderful and unique experience. They had so many intricate and delicious pieces of nigiri, sashimi, and specialties. Staff was extremely kind and allowed us to take multiple photos for all the memories. Place is clean and private. Definitely recommend!

Solid omakase experience at a price I deem reasonable @10,890 for 22 courses. Intimate dining with 8 counter seats and 1 table for 4. Reservations are necessary. This review is in exchange for any 1 drink from the menu. The opinion is mine
