Tucked away in Honjo, Sumida-ku, Kushimasa (くしまさ) is a hidden Japanese restaurant far from the hustle and bustle, where you can enjoy exquisite yakitori in a quiet environment. This small shop, a blend of family warmth and craftsmanship, is adored by local regulars.
Kushimasa’s signature dish, of course, is yakitori. Each skewer is carefully grilled, juicy yet incredibly fragrant. In addition to the classic skewers, the menu features playful creative dishes like comparisons based on the age of the chicken.
The selection of sake, centered on local varieties, should not be missed. Featuring brands like Kuheiji and Kaiun, each choice is made with the compatibility with food in mind.
The charm of Kushimasa lies not only in its cuisine. The subdued BGM and quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy dishes and sake captivate many regulars. However, due to the meticulous preparation, waiting times can be long during busy periods. The owner’s words, “We take our time here. Please enjoy a drink while waiting,” embody the philosophy of the establishment.
Kushimasa may not be suitable for those who wish to dine quickly. However, if you visit with ample time, you can enjoy dishes that shine with craftsmanship in a calm environment, making your evening special. Experience the blissful yakitori at Kushimasa, the hidden gem in Honjo.
