Located near Nishi-Azabu intersection, this small restaurant has a concept of a “hideaway space” and only 11 counter seats. However, we use the finest tuna from Japan’s top tuna wholesaler “Yamayuki”, Uonuma koshihikari rice directly delivered from Niigata rice farmer “Karoku”, traditional red vinegar from “Yokoi Brewery”, and other ingredients, and we offer our own unique sushi that combines traditional Edomae sushi techniques with innovative ideas and provide sincere service.

Please feel free to visit us for important occasions such as birthdays, dates, and business meetings, as well as for casual occasions such as when you want to drink sake or wine with delicious fish. The most important thing is for everyone to relax and enjoy a good time. We think that it is the happiest thing for us to feel that way across the counter.

Our commitments

Materials

At Sushi Karin, the best quality fish, vegetables, and other ingredients are carefully chosen by our head chef and purchased from the market every morning.
In addition to using the best quality materials, we always try to maximize the characteristic taste and flavor of each fish by applying both the traditional techniques of Edomae-Sushi and our modern ideas.

Rice

We use the famous rice brand Uonuma-Koshihikari directly sent from our contracted farm, Karoku, in Niigata area of Japan.
Usually, Koshihikari is considered to be difficult to prepare for Sushi because of its sticky texture. At Sushi Karin, we had been through so many tests, and finally found the best condition, which not only enhances the great taste of Koshihikari, but also the taste of the rice blends beautifully with the vinegar and fish materials.

Vinegar

Traditionally, “red vinegar”, which has a unique umami and flavor, has been used for Edomae Sushi.
At Sushi Karin, we blend three different vinegars including the red vinegar to achieve our ideal flavor. When mix with the rice, you will feel its rich umami and flavor at the same time a unique strong personality.
