Tachigui Sushi Uogashi Yamaharu

I’d give this a 4.5 if there was an option. This stand-up sushi spot is on the pricier side (and it’s inside a fancier building,Toranomon Hills T-Market, so that matches), but the quality was great compared to cheaper options we’ve had. You order on a tablet that has Japanese and English language options. The chefs are extremely efficient and the nigiri comes out quickly. You can “order” green tea on the tablet as well which is included. Would highly recommend the hamachi, otoro, and the sweet shrimp. Availability depends on the day.

Standing sushi, not the best sushi we had on the trip but a fun experience. Ordering on a tablet with English made it accessible. Service was friendly and very efficient. Found the firefly squid dish too salty, wouldn’t recommend it. The scallop was bomb 💣 I’d give it a try if you’re staying in the area and looking for a quick, high quality meal.

By far the best sushi I’ve ever had. We ordered a ton of stuff, but the tuna, mackerel, and Bonita nigiri were some of our favourites. The tuna and green onion rolls were incredible as well! The staff were incredibly friendly. It is in the basement of an office building, but feels like we’re in a luxury food hall.

Value for cost is fair and the quality is very good. Their cooking methods are professional so we will over look the wasabi not being fresh. Perfect for anyone looking for a high quality quick sushi stop.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. No seats, just a standing bar to focus all your attention on every single perfectly crafted morsel. Just order the course and you’ll be sorted.

It is the first sushi restaurant run by Uogashi Yamaharu, a long-standing seafood wholesaler that’s been running business in Tsukiji and now Toyosu market for over half a century. Directly connected to Toranomon Hills Station (and beneath Hotel Toranomon Hills),enjoy carefully crafted sushi at this standing sushi bar, whether you want just one piece or a full course. I came here 4 times in 7 days! This standing sushi shop beats any $350+ omakase restaurant in NYC. No reservations required, go check them out!

If you’re looking for incredible sushi stop here. I was skeptical about the idea of standing and eating (clearly a foreigner’s novice mistake). This place made me forget I was on my feet the whole time. Melt in your mouth nigiri! First time I’ve had a hand roll handed to me by the chef who made it and then of course I put it directly in my mouth and devoured it. Soooooooo good!! I’m drooling looking at the photos again and reminiscing about how incredible this sushi is. Worth the wait if there’s a line. Highly recommend.

The sushi here was incredible, especially the prawn and tuna (didn’t take many pictures, but that prawn was the best I’ve had). It’s also quite affordable for the quality of sushi! The staff was extremely friendly as well and the location is in a fun and vibrant food hall that is a bit tucked away in the basement level of a skyscraper. It’s order as you go. The only thing to mention here is its 100% standing bar, so if you don’t like standing and eating the whole time, I wouldn’t come here as you’ll be upset about it, but if you don’t mind that, this place is well worth it! Highly recommend and cannot wait to come back when in Tokyo!
