Tachiguisushi Sushi Kawa

I had an incredible experience at Tachiguisushi Sushi Kawa. I went for the 15-piece omakase and ended up ordering a few extra pieces because everything was just that good. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and perfectly balanced. I also tried three different sake recommended by the chef, and each one complemented the sushi wonderfully. It’s a standing sushi bar, so the atmosphere is casual, but the quality rivals high-end places. A true hidden gem – I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Amazing spot! Very friendly staff! The omakase menu was totally delicious with a great choice of sake, champagne, beer and wine included. The Sushi Master was very kind with good English! We can really recommend this place! 😊

A restaurant that has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand. The average Michelin star restaurant starts at around 50,000 yen per person, which is a stretch. This restaurant offers 15 pieces of sushi and unlimited drinks for 16,000 yen. Each piece was incredibly delicious, and the rice was really tasty. And what I liked even more was the recommendation for the drinks. Since they had a wide selection of sakes, if you tell them what style you want, they will recommend it, and they have a lot of sake that goes well with the sushi you were eating at the time. Among mid-level sushi restaurants, this is the best place I've been to recently. I definitely want to come back. If I had to find a flaw, it would be that it's a standing style, so your legs will hurt while traveling, and there's no Odori - but I had no regrets.

Tachiguisushi Sushikawa in Tokyo's Sasazuka neighborhood offers a refreshing return to sushi's roots, embracing the traditional stand-up dining experience. Awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025, this intimate 10-seat counter spotlights Edo-style nigiri - the focus is solely on nigiri; no side dishes or appetizers to distract from the main event. The Chef curates a menu that changes daily, featuring seafood sourced from across Japan—think marinated mackerel from Kagoshima, fatty tuna from Nagasaki, and boiled conger eel from Miyagi. The ambiance is minimalist yet inviting, with a stylish white and wood interior that elevates the standing sushi bar concept. I saw that all foreigners are given the 15-piece course, inclusive of an all-you-can-drink alcohol package (Bottle Beer / Japanese Sake / Wine / Champagne). For those seeking an authentic, no-frills sushi experience that honors tradition without pretense, Tachiguisushi Sushikawa delivers exceptional value and craftsmanship in every bite. Reservations are recommended to secure a spot!

Sushikawa is an authentic edo-mae style standing sushi bar that is listed as the 2024 Michellen Bib Gourmand. 3 Omakase courses to choose from, and there are a variety of seasonal nihonshu (japanese sake) to choose from (only a few selection of wine). You can also choose free flow if you would like to try them all. Very friendly chef, small but cozy. Reservation highly recommended on Friday nights and weekends.

We appreciate the staff’s kindness in accommodating us despite the confusion we caused with our reservation — they were very understanding. However, the experience overall was disappointing. The place is poorly ventilated, making it uncomfortable, especially during busy hours. The nigiri was below expectations — some pieces even had a noticeably fishy taste. Additionally, there was only one chef serving all the seats, which resulted in very slow service throughout our visit. Unfortunately, it did not meet the standard we were hoping for

We went there last night. The menu was available in Japanese only so we trusted the sushi master and followed his choices. I had a glass of a good French wine but there is a variety of sake to be paired with sushi. It was a very enjoyable evening. The place is very cosy and genuine. I do recommend.

An amazing experience for people afraid to try the luxury sushi places that have a compulsory menu at a high price and at the same time willing to try something way better than any sushi chain like Suhiro! The place is tidy, not touristic at all, the sushis are excellent for a good price and even though the owners didn’t speak English, is was quite easy to translate their menu online as it’s a QR code. Definitely recommend! Thank you for your hospitality!
