Sushi Takehan Wakatsuki

They are all great.
It has become my favorite restaurant!!!

If you want to eat Edomae sushi, this is the place to be!!

Of all the sushi restaurants I ate at in Tokyo, this was by far the best and it’s not even close. In particular, the Uni is far better than any I have had even at other famous sushi restaurants. I cannot comprehend how they make it so delicious.

Every time I ate at another sushi restaurant I found myself wishing that I had come back here again instead…

I was lucky enough to eat here for lunch with a native Japanese speaker who was able to translate and understand the origin of each fish and its preparation— for instance they simmer their shrimp for 65 seconds in a certain way in order to obtain a range of textures, and it was remarkable delicious.

In addition to fantastic sushi they also have their own blend of herbal tea which is delicious— they also provide it for sale, I only wish that I had bought more…

Although it is not cheap (~18,000 yen) it is worth it for the price, and far more delicious than more expensive places I tried during my trip.

And even though I came just for the food, the service was also remarkably attentive. My tea and water never went empty.

Best sushi experience I have ever had. Service was excellent. Chef puts much creativity and thoughts into the dishes, apart from the instaworthy appearance, it is also very flavourful. Both chefs are friendly and engaging (and we seldom see a female sushi chef!), staff has excellent service. Would love to go again.

If you are a serious sushi fan, make a reservation and enjoy a fine dining experience here. This upstair restaurant only got 12 counter seats, so you will get close attention from the chef. Food are undoubtedly superb, not only the freshness but you can also see the chef's technique and details in preparing the sushi. A couple of sushi will serve with wine pairing, which boosted the after taste of the food.
