Sushi Kobikicho Tomoki

Hidden behind the grand Kabukiza theater is a small sushi restaurant steeped in tradition. Long-time fans have treasured the unchanged flavors of Kobikicho Tomoki, which have been perfected using original techniques. The meal here is a true reflection of refined Japanese aesthetics, with two Michelin stars in the competitive Tokyo sushi scene. The restaurant's interior is simple yet sophisticated, with traditional wooden architecture. The smooth, wide counter, which can seat up to nine people, is made from a single plank of 200-year-old hinoki wood. There is also a four-person table in the back.

Kobikicho Tomoki's cuisine is based on traditional methods, bucking the trend for a more modern approach to sushi. Every dish is meticulously prepared with the finest ingredients and is built on a series of steps that result in impeccable flavors. Every day, the chef selects and prepares 18 to 24 different types of seasonal fish, 15 of which are served as nigiri. To create a pleasant flow, a few refreshing small dishes are typically served to begin the meal, followed by some lighter nigiri. The richer nigiri is served in the second half of the meal, followed by sweet slices of egg and makimono.
