Best Sushi in Tokyo 2026: 12 Places From ¥110 to Omakase

The best sushi in Tokyo depends on your budget: plates start at ¥110 at the chains, a sit-down set at Sushi no Midori starts at ¥1,980, and omakase counters start around ¥5,500 at weekday lunch. This guide picks 12 places across those tiers, plus a vegan pointer. We checked each one on the restaurant's official site or Tabelog in 2026, and every price is tax included unless noted.

Where we have a deeper guide, the pick links to it, so use this page to choose a format and the linked guides for branches and booking steps. A section on prices, lunch vs dinner, booking sites and Toyosu Market follows the list.

Prices are tax included. The vegan pick, Vegan Sushi Tokyo, has its own short section below the list.

Sushiro is Japan's biggest conveyor-belt chain, and this branch sits on the 6th floor of the Highmanten Building, one minute from Shibuya Station. Plates start at ¥150 here (the chain's national floor is ¥120, and prices vary by store). You order on an English touchscreen and the sushi arrives on a personal lane. It is the safest first conveyor meal in central Tokyo. Our Tokyo conveyor belt sushi guide compares more branches, and Sushiro vs Kura vs Uobei explains the brands.

Practical info

• Hours: Mon-Fri 11:00-23:00; Sat, Sun, holidays 10:30-23:00 (last order 30 min before closing)

• Payment: cards accepted; no e-money

Kura's showpiece branch is on the 4th floor of Asakusa ROX, about 130 m from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station (Tabelog). Every five plates you return, the Bikkura-Pon game can drop a capsule prize. The touchscreen supports four languages. After 21:00 you use Kura's own elevator beside the ROX building. The Shibuya alternative is Kura Shibuya Ekimae (Udagawacho 23-3, 7F). Branch details and how the game works are in our Kura Sushi Tokyo guide.

Uobei has no rotating belt. You order on a tablet and each plate is made to order and shot to your seat on an express lane. The chain's ¥100 items cost ¥110 with tax, but this is a "super-urban" store, so other items are priced differently from regular Uobei branches. Tabelog reviewers report spending ¥1,000-1,999 at lunch and ¥2,000-2,999 at dinner. With 121 seats it is a quick stop between Shibuya sightseeing. An English menu is not confirmed on the official pages, though a Tabelog review mentions multilingual tablets.

Practical info

• Location: Dai-6 Central Bldg 1F, 2-29-11 Dogenzaka; about 3 min from Shibuya Station (Hanzomon / Den-en-toshi line exits)

At a standing sushi bar a chef makes each piece to order and hands it across the counter. This Uogashi Nihon-Ichi branch is about 5 minutes (350 m) from JR Shinjuku Station. Per-piece prices are not published on a primary page, so use Tabelog's guide: ¥1,000-1,999 budget, with reviewers reporting ¥1,000-1,999 at lunch and ¥3,000-3,999 at dinner. No booking, which makes it easy to fit between trains. How to order at a standing bar covers the format in full.

It is a step up from the chains without paying omakase prices. Katsu Midori at Seibu Shibuya closed on 30 September 2026, so ignore older guides that send you there.

Manten serves the same ¥8,800 omakase at lunch and dinner, which makes it the easy choice for an evening near Tokyo Station when other counters jump in price. There is also a Tuna Tasting Course at ¥13,200. The restaurant is in Marunouchi Brick Square, 3 minutes from Nijubashimae Station Exit 3 and 5 minutes from JR Tokyo Station's south exit. Its English site defines omakase as "I will leave it to you." Manten does not take guests with severe shellfish or gluten allergies, or who cannot eat raw fish. Full comparison in our omakase guide.

Sushi Dai moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu Market in 2018, so do not look for it at Tsukiji. It has 16 seats and is cash only. No menu price appears on a primary source: the ¥5,000-5,999 figure is Tabelog's budget band and what reviewers reported spending at lunch in 2026 visits, so treat it as an estimate. Tabelog says same-day bookings are taken at the shop front from 05:00, with your time depending on party size. Daiwa Sushi (Block 5, no reservations, cards accepted, Tabelog budget ¥6,000-7,999) is the other market counter.

Asakusa Sushi Ken is the only sit-down sushi restaurant we found whose own shop text claims halal certification and that offers fixed chef's courses. The shop's own text on Tabelog (updated 6 October 2025) says it holds halal certification, rated 2 stars because alcohol is served, with all food meeting the standard. The Japan Halal Foundation is named as the certifying body in a Halal Media Japan article dated 23 December 2015; we could not re-confirm the current certificate on the shop's own site. The certification covers food only, and alcohol is served, so ask the staff directly if the setting matters to you. Courses are ¥10,000 and ¥12,000, nigiri sets ¥3,300 and ¥4,200, and lunch (13 pieces and a roll) ¥3,000. See our halal sushi guide for details.

Practical info

• Halal status: Shop text claims halal certification (food only); alcohol is served
• Location: 2-11-4 Asakusa; about 1 min from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station Exit A1

What sushi costs in Tokyo

Observed from official and Tabelog pages, tax included:

Lunch vs dinner

Lunch is the cheapest way into a good counter. Sushi Tokyo Ten is ¥5,500 at weekday lunch against ¥9,900 at dinner. Onodera lunch starts at ¥8,800 and dinner at ¥27,500. Kanesaka's lunch Iga is ¥8,250 against a dinner Hagi at ¥22,000. Kyubey's dinner has no short set, only the ¥16,500 course or kaiseki, with 10% service added. The exception is Manten, which charges ¥8,800 at both. Toyosu counters serve breakfast and lunch only.

• res-reserve: Manten, Onodera.

• Phone only: Palace Hotel Kanesaka.

Toyosu Market basics

Toyosu opened on 11 October 2018, replacing Tsukiji's inner market, and both Sushi Dai and Daiwa moved there. Entry is free and the nearest station is Yurikamome Shijo-mae (3 min walk). Visitor hours are 05:00-17:00, but the market is closed Sundays, public holidays and closure days, which GO TOKYO lists as Wednesdays and irregular days. Check the official market calendar before you go. There are 38 restaurants, with hours that vary by shop. Tuna auctions can be watched from the observation corridors, and the closer observation deck needs an advance reservation. Sushi Dai is cash only; Daiwa takes cards.

Conveyor belt rules, and a warning about etiquette lists

Sushiro's official English guide lists three rules: do not leave or return your plate onto the lane, do not lean on the lane, and do not put anything on the lane. Its guide also says sushi comes without wasabi (packets circulate on the lane), you put soy sauce on the topping, and you pay on the touchscreen. Many online etiquette lists (eat in one bite, dip fish-side down) have no shop or official source, so we do not repeat them as fact. For omakase, the rules shops actually publish are to arrive on time (Manten cancels at 15 minutes late, Kanesaka branches at 30), expect a 10-15% service charge, and skip tipping, which is not customary in Japan according to JNTO.

Famous names we left out

Sushi Saito, Sugita and Sukiyabashi Jiro Ginza appear in other lists, but we found no open booking route for tourists. Jiro Ginza takes overseas guests through a hotel concierge only. Sushi Matsumoto Shibuya says overseas customers cannot reserve directly. If a hotel concierge can book for you, that is a separate plan from this list.

Start with conveyor belt sushi in Tokyo if you want a cheap first meal, compare the brands in our sushi chain guide, or read the omakase guide before you book a counter.
