Delicious sushi in 2025
We will introduce you to the delicious sushi and sushi restaurants we ate in 2025.
There are various genres of sushi, so this time I would like to introduce the restaurants that I think are the best among the following four genres.
- Conveyor belt sushi
- standing sushi
- Counter sushi (cospa)
- counter sushi
Conveyor belt sushi: Kotobuki Sushi c/o Maimon Sushi
Strictly speaking, it's not a conveyor belt sushi because it doesn't rotate, but Kotobuki Sushi stores also have conveyor belt sushi restaurants, so I'll introduce it under the conveyor belt sushi genre.
The most delicious conveyor belt sushi restaurant is ``Kotobuki Sushi c/o Maimon Sushi”.
It's located inside Niigata Station, so you can stop by before boarding the Shinkansen.
I think most of the lineup is around 300 yen to 500 yen for 1 piece.
They have a decent lineup of alcoholic beverages and a wide variety of snacks, so I think you can find something for both food and drinks.
In terms of budget, I get the impression that 1 drink + 10 pieces of sushi costs over 5,000 yen.
We have Niigata's local toppings, the classic Nodoguro, and even the non-local toppings are of high quality.
I think it's a little expensive for everyday use, but it's recommended when you visit Niigata for sightseeing or business.
Standing sushi: Uogashi Nihonichi
It's a restaurant where I only went to eat a certain menu rather than the standing sushi that was delicious.
There are locations all over Tokyo.Uogashi Japan No. 1`` of a shop called ``Fried geso mayoI was eating only the menu.
By my count, I visited 5 times in 2025 alone.
『Fried geso mayo” is a dish of raw fish sushi topped with mayonnaise and grilled.
This is a dish where the flavor of the geso soup, the richness of the mayo, and the sourness of the rice and mayo match, and the aroma of the seared rice is added to that.
Moreover, it is the cheapest menu item in this restaurant.
To be honest, the other menu items at this restaurant are often average or worse, and I often get disappointed, so...Fried geso mayo” is not recommended.
With your favorite alcoholFried geso mayo” is the best solution for this store.
Counter Sushi (Cospa): Sushi Ichishin
I think counter sushi is becoming polarized into restaurants where the course costs around 10,000 yen and restaurants where the course costs close to 40,000 yen.
First of all, the restaurant where you can eat the former course for around 10,000 yen, ``Sushi Kazushin” I would like to introduce you to.
The store is located near Akasaka Station.
This shop is ``Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Association'' resort facility (restaurant), and you cannot make a reservation unless you are insured.
It is possible for outsiders who are not insured to accompany members on visits.
Since it is a resort facility, there are some discounts available, so I don't think it would be a good idea to introduce it as counter sushi with good value for money, but there is no doubt that it is good value for money and delicious, so I will introduce it in this category.
There are various courses, but the top Oedo course where you can enjoy snacks and nigiri is ``Insured person/dependent person: 6,600 yen” and “Companion: 9,900 yen” You can receive it.
Drinks and extras are charged separately, but each is cheap.
I always visit with my wife, and we are treated as the insured person + companion, but no matter how much we eat and drink, it will still cost around 20,000 yen.
『Sushi KanesakaIt's part of a chain of two Michelin-starred restaurants, so you can rest assured about the taste.
The restaurant is aimed at nurturing young people, so if you imagine it as a high-end restaurant, it might be a bit off, but it's the perfect restaurant if you want to casually enjoy delicious sushi.
It is difficult for outsiders to visit in the first place, and even for insured persons, reservations fill up quickly, so it is difficult to visit, but if you have the chance, please visit this store.
Counter Sushi: Sushi Tanaka
The delicious counter sushi was ``Sushi Tanaka”.
The course is about 20,000 yen per person, so I think it falls into the cost performance category.
It costs about 20,000 yen per person, but the snacks and nigiri are of good quality, and the portions are generous.
In 2025, I went to a restaurant where the course cost nearly 50,000 yen, but I think this restaurant is better in terms of satisfaction.
When I visited, it was still easy to make reservations, but I thought it would quickly become a popular restaurant because of the high satisfaction rate and good value for money. .
Since the restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star, it has become difficult to make reservations. .
Although the difficulty of visiting has increased,
Closing Thoughts
I'm basically an omnivore and eat a lot of things other than sushi and sushi, so I don't visit enough sushi and sushi restaurants to compare. .
In 2024, there was a price hike, but in 2025, I think there will be another or two levels of price hikes, so counter sushi hasn't been able to make much of an impact. .
Also, I personally feel that sushi has its limits.
In terms of taste, I think the limit is 20,000 to 30,000 yen, and the rest of the price depends on the hospitality, the region of origin, the brand of alcohol, etc.
Therefore, one of the reasons why I can't make much progress is because I have an extreme idea that there is no need to go to stores that cost more than 40,000 yen per person.
However, after visiting several restaurants, I was able to find sushi that I thought was delicious.
However, I tend to look at things from the perspective of good value for money, so I would like to find a variety of sushi restaurants in 2026, as well as visit local sushi restaurants and find restaurants that will disrupt my sense of value.
