Hamashige Sushi｜A Personalized Culinary Experience at Tsukiji Outer Market

Tsukiji Outer Market is home to numerous sushi restaurants, but Hamashige Sushi (はましげすし) offers more than just sushi—it's an intimate daily ritual hosted by the chef himself.

As soon as I sat down, the chef handed me a cup of hot tea, opened a wooden box, and began crafting sushi. There’s no menu, no hesitation—here, you dine on trust.

While seafood bowls at Tsukiji are nothing new, the mixed sushi bowl at Hamashige Sushi deserves special mention. The ingredients are undeniably fresh: the shrimp is sweet, the salmon has perfectly distributed fat, the sea urchin is free of any fishy taste, and the vinegared rice is warm and smooth.

What truly stands out is the presentation and care. Each piece of sashimi feels like it’s been arranged just for you. Compared to the crowded tourist hotspots, this place exudes the restraint and warmth of a traditional sushi artisan.

If you’re looking to skip the long lines but still enjoy a consistently high-quality seafood bowl in Tsukiji, this spot is definitely worth adding to your list.
