🍣 Arakawa, Japan — Sushi Ranking

蛇乃目鮨

Janome-zushi is a traditional sushi restaurant in Arakawa, Tokyo, run by the head chef and his wife. The fresh fish is cut generously thick, and the place is known for its sweet uni (sea urchin) and melt-in-your-mouth tuna. You can enjoy sushi affordably here, with a recommended selection starting from just 1,600 yen. The gentle, warm hospitality has earned the restaurant many repeat visitors from overseas, and the head chef is also celebrated for his wonderful guitar playing and singing. With delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere in equal measure, it is a homey spot that brings both flavor and good feeling to every visit.

黒さわ

Kurosawa is a downtown-style sushi restaurant in the Mikawashima area of Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, where lunch is built around a single, focused offering: the daily set meal for 990 yen. Diners praise its generous variety and volume, starting with a board of crisp, freshly cut sashimi and extending to salt-grilled fish such as fatty hokke (Atka mackerel) and saba (mackerel), along with fried dishes like agezu shumai (deep-fried steamed pork dumplings). The meal also comes with rice so good it draws special mention, plus ara-jiru, a hearty soup made from fish trimmings. Guests are equally happy with the warm, careful, and gentle service from the head chef, the okami-san (proprietress), and the rest of the staff, making this a shop celebrated for outstanding value for money.

大和水産 本店

A one-minute walk from Mikawashima Station in Arakawa, Tokyo, this restaurant is run by Yamato Suisan, a specialist tuna wholesaler that opened around 1984. The two floors serve different fare: the first floor is a sushi bar, while the second floor specializes in rice bowls. Diners praise the thick, exceptionally fresh cuts of tuna used in dishes like the tekka-don (a bowl of rice topped with raw tuna) and the o-toro negitoro-don, made with premium fatty tuna belly and chopped scallion, and the shop is so popular that a line regularly forms. The hand-formed nigiri sushi on the first floor is well liked too, as is the miso soup, which draws its stock from simmered shrimp heads. Above all, guests appreciate being able to savor top-quality tuna at reasonable prices.
