Sushi Shizume

Whether to immerse yourself entirely in seasonal fish through piece after piece of nigiri, or to savor the shifting seasons across sashimi and otsumami appetizers, Sushi Shizume offers distinct paths tailored to your appetite. Located in a quiet corner of Tsukiji 2-chome, the restaurant invites diners to choose the course that best fits their occasion.

Indulge in Nigiri or Pair Drinks with Varied Otsumami

For devoted sushi lovers, the Sushi-zukushi course places nigiri firmly at the heart of the experience. Punctuated by sakizuke starters and seasonal cooked dishes, this generous meal presents a full twenty pieces of nigiri, allowing guests to savor the careful craft and balance between topping and rice one piece at a time. By contrast, the Shun-zukushi course weaves together seasonal sashimi, the chef's special dish of the day, and savory appetizers alongside around ten pieces of nigiri. It is an ideal option for unhurried evenings spent sipping selected sake or wine as each plate arrives.

Counter Comfort and the Serenity of Private Rooms on Floor 2

Housed in a renovated traditional building, the interior features counter seats on floor 1 that place diners right in front of the chefs at work, while floor 2 provides private table rooms accommodating parties of 2 or more. The counter brings the lively pleasure of freshly prepared sushi served at a brisk tempo alongside conversation, while the private rooms offer a calm alternative for anniversaries or dinners where conversation and privacy take precedence.

The listed menu notes that the lunch-exclusive sushi course, Umi, comes with a complimentary welcome drink. A sweet confection rounds off the meal, ensuring a deeply satisfying experience from the opening starter through to the lingering finish.
