小金寿司

🤖 What reviewers say — a 30-second read

Kogane-zushi is a casual, unpretentious sushi restaurant in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, run by just an elderly husband and wife. The chef is a true Edokko, a born-and-bred Tokyoite whose Edomae-style craft (the classic Tokyo way of preparing sushi) really shines. The top-grade nigiri set is remarkably affordable at just under 3,000 yen, and the tuna, which includes both lean akami and rich fatty toro, along with the uni (sea urchin), earns especially high praise. Both the sliced fish and the nigiri come in generous, old-fashioned Showa-era portions that leave you satisfied, and the chirashi (assorted sashimi over sushi rice) is beautifully done as well. Together with the couple's warm hospitality and the comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, it is the kind of place regulars say they want to keep coming back to again and again.
