Tachigui Sushi Uogashi Yamaharu

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.

Excellent sushi & foreigner friendly service. Arrived at 11:30 for a lunch time 12-piece omakase; ordered on a tablet. Promptly served the chefs recommendation with little communication beyond naming the fish that would adorn my next nigiri. Bites to rival the finest; at a fraction of the price. The sardine, and the conger eel were highlights. Card payment only

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!

Came twice already and thinking to come back every time that I am in Tokyo. One of the best sushi i ever have. Fresh ingredients, good vibe and tasty sake!

Outrageously good value on the ¥1700 8-piece lunch, moreso than the ¥2700 11-piece lunch pictured here. In any case, this is the best sushi you’ll try at this price point, and is a sweet spot for casual everyday dining. The tachigui concept of Nemuro Hanamaru tastes sad in comparison, while the same concept from Onodera costs twice as much without giving twice the pleasure. Obviously, there are limitations at this price point. The half-sliced hotate was too thin and the primary sensation was a mouthful of rice. The iwashi was too strongly marinated and took on a “cooked” texture from the vinegar. And the anago was kinda dry. But really, I’ll return again and again, because there’s nothing else providing this same quality and value compromise.

We loved the sushi at this place so much we went twice in the first leg of our Japan trip and may go back just one more time before we leave. Every piece of sushi is perfectly flavorful from the seasoned rice to adding sauces and other toppings to make the perfect bite. The ordering experience was great as it’s just an iPad with all of the options and you can continuously order. The sushi chefs are friendly and recognized us when we came back for the second time. It’s a small counter without chairs but the food was so good you’ll forget you were standing

Best sushi I’ve ever had in my life hands down. Also got to be in the top 10 meals I’ve ever had. The rice was so perfectly flavoured and balanced with the fish. The staff were warm and welcoming and happy to recommend sake pairings for your food. I hope I’m lucky enough to return one day
