Sushi Kagura Description
Nestled in the backstreets of Shinbashi, Sushi Kagura is a hidden gem that stands out in the bustling Tokyo dining scene. The intimate sushi restaurant, with only nine counter seats, is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its owner, who honed his skills at the renowned Ginza Kyubei before venturing out on his own. What sets Sushi Kagura apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and tradition, sourcing only the finest seasonal ingredients, with a particular focus on tuna procured from trusted fishmongers.
At Sushi Kagura, the art of sushi-making is elevated to a whole new level. Each piece of sushi is meticulously crafted, with the tuna being a standout highlight. The owner's expertise shines through as he warms the tuna before serving, enhancing its aroma and rich flavor profile. The dining experience is further enhanced by the elegant yet cozy ambiance, with soft lighting, soothing jazz music, and exquisite tableware that complements the exquisite sushi creations. Pair your meal with a selection of carefully curated wines, predominantly featuring Rieslings, or indulge in rare sake varieties like the elusive Hideyoshi from Akita, adding a touch of exclusivity to your dining experience.

Nothing stands out for me.
I might not be right but feeling like sushi rice could be improved where some of sushi rice was too soft and loose, towards a bit sour/acidic…
Overall still good.

Fairly easy to book online via Tabelog.
I even got a present from one of the regulars when I went to dinner. Awesome vibe and experience altogether. Recommended.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but the food was gorgeous. Everything tasted completely beautiful, fresh, and flavourful and was paced perfectly to allow a very comfortable flow of enjoyment. It was also an absolute treat to watch Chef Sho expertly and meticulously prepare each piece. It was all scrumptious fish, but some particular standouts: the octopus (I didn't know that kind of heavenly soft texture was even possible!), uni (delightfully creamy, precisely portioned), and the crab (wonderfully sweet, paired supremely with the sauce, and the rice-warmed citrus zest truly taking the flavour to the next level).
All in all, a totally perfect evening. I'm so thankful I got to experience it!
