What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • Families

    The gadgetry and low prices make it one of the easiest, most entertaining meals in Tokyo with kids.

  • With friends

    Where this beats a real sushi counter: a rainy, jet-lagged arrival night or a between-sights refuel in Shibuya when you want fed, laughing and out in 40 minutes — not contemplating rice temperature. Order a lot, race the rail.
