Mimasu

Carried on across generations in Yotsuya, Mimasu is an unpretentious sushi shop focused on quality nigiri. Run with the easy warmth of a family-operated counter, the room puts first-time guests at ease from the moment they take a seat.

Ordering typically begins with one of the set courses or the chef's omakase assortment. Clean, focused bites of lean akami and medium-fatty chutoro tuna appear alongside staples like kelp-cured white fish, ark shell, tender anago eel, and salmon roe, all shaped with straightforward precision. Once the initial round is finished, diners often branch out to squid, shrimp, silver-skinned fish such as horse mackerel and kohada, or classic rolled sushi to round out the meal to taste.

Evening service runs from 18:00 to 21:00, offering a quiet, unhurried space to sip beer or sake over plates of sushi. Just as accommodating for a solo diner settling into the counter as it is for a relaxed family dinner, Mimasu delivers the comforting rhythm of an authentic neighborhood sushi parlor.
