Restaurant Introduction
Nestled in a quiet alley near Ogikubo Station in Tokyo (approximately a 10-minute ride from Shinjuku Station), Sushi Shutatsu is a renowned sushi restaurant that blends traditional and modern ambiance. The head chef boasts over thirty years of sushi experience, having honed his skills at numerous prestigious restaurants, interpreting the essence of Edomae sushi with profound expertise. The restaurant features a small bar area with limited seating, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere where diners can quietly appreciate the rhythm and dedication of the sushi artisans.
Fresh seafood is delivered daily from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, with the most representative being top-grade tuna from the renowned wholesaler "Yamayuki." The exceptionally rare "head meat" (のうてん) comprises only about 0.5% of the entire tuna, its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture leaving a lingering, unforgettable flavor. The sushi rice uses "Hatsushimo" rice from Gifu Prefecture, with the ratio of red and white vinegar adjusted according to the season and available ingredients to achieve a perfect balance of flavors.
The restaurant's most popular "Chef's Choice Sushi Set" is themed around the seasons and includes grilled and steamed dishes, nine pieces of sushi, sushi rolls, soup, and desserts. Each visit offers a different combination of ingredients, showcasing the subtle variations of Japanese seasonal flavors. Another highlight is the restaurant's collaboration with a teahouse with over 200 years of history to create the "Sushi x Japanese Tea Pairing." Featuring at least four premium teas, including Gyokuro, Kenjo Sencha, and Matcha, this pairing enhances the flavor and aroma of the sushi, offering a unique non-alcoholic experience.
Guests participating in the tasting package will also receive a beautifully packaged tea gift set, including the tea used that day and an English brewing guide, allowing them to continue the experience at home. This is a popular gift option for overseas travelers and adds a cultural depth to the menu-less experience. The restaurant has staff who can speak English and Chinese, ensuring that whether you're trying Japanese sushi for the first time or a seasoned food enthusiast, you'll experience the most attentive hospitality. Escape the hustle and bustle and savor Tokyo's four seasons and the dedication of its artisans with a bite of sushi at Sushi Shutatsu.
