スシモン いえやす 赤坂見附店
Just a three-minute walk from Akasaka-mitsuke Station, this welcoming spot serves authentic sushi and kaisendon (seafood rice bowls) in a relaxed setting. The signature Sushimon-don comes piled high with fresh seafood, and partway through your meal you can pour dashi broth over it to enjoy it ochazuke-style, as a savory rice-and-broth dish; the rice and dashi are both free to refill. Nigiri starts at 100 yen per piece, and the towering Fujimori negitoro gunkan, a battleship-style roll heaped with minced fatty tuna and green onion, has earned a strong reputation. Diners also praise the nigiri made with red-vinegar rice, the stylish experience of sitting at the counter, and the attentive service offered in English.
