Sushi Isshin in Asakusa

Great meal and experience at Sushi Isshin. It boasts one Michelin star rating at the time of writing and serves up great Edo-style sushi with rice seasoned with vinegar. The omakase option is between appetizer course (5 appetizers and 10 pieces of nigiri) or pure sushi (20 pieces). Personally, I'd recommend the appetizer meal as 20 pieces of sushi might be too acidic for the taste buds with the vinegar rice by the end of the course.P.S. If you are going to be visiting, it's worth checking out episode #15 from Japanese Style Originator available on Netflix as it covers Isshin's specialty in the sushi segment.

The chefs here specialize in Edomae sushi. They stick to old traditional methods, down to the equipment that they use. They cook rice with charcoal and store fish in a fridge that uses ice blocks instead of electricity. My favorite piece of sushi was the marinated maguro (tuna). I also find the tako (octopus) very special, as they marinate the octopus in a special red bean tea broth that has been maintained for years.Also, they only take cash. So be prepared.

Amazing sushi. So tasty and fresh. It was really fun to watch them work and the chef recommended some great sake as well.

Sushi were super fresh and delicious. New tastes were discovered!

Very good sushi worth the price

Best sushi ever taste in Tokyo..hope to back one day..

Very nice place for sushi.

Great quality and decent prices. Came here randomly after landing and checking into a hotel nearby. We really enjoyed ourselves and foor was quite good along with the service. As expected. Nothing too amazing but really good if you're nearby, hungry and need a bite. Highly recommended.

Made a dinner reservation online via Jpneazy. Chefs were friendly and accomodating. We had the omakase set and every dish and piece of sushi was very delicious. The entire experience was very enjoyable and would certainly recommend for a great sushi meal.

Terrible customer service...
