Sushi restaurant • 6-chōme-10-18 Koyama, Shinagawa City, Tokyo 142-0062, Japan
Sushi Tsumugi offers the essence of traditional Edo craftsmanship, tucked away in the quiet residential area of Nishi-Koyama. Stepping into the restaurant, you will be enveloped in the heartfelt hospitality of the master and the proprietress, working in tandem.
As you are seated at the counter, you will be served delicate appetizers with the fragrance of dashi broth. The seasonal delicacies, simple yet masterfully crafted, are artistic creations that highlight the skills of the craftsmen. In particular, the modestly presented but superbly flavored horse mackerel, sweet shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms are exceptional.

The delicate work, backed by traditional techniques, brings out the maximum potential of the ingredients.
The ambiance is also not to be overlooked. The cozy counter seats allow for a leisurely and relaxed dining experience, complemented by the amiable nature of the master and the proprietress. The opportunity to enjoy the pairing of exquisite sake with the meticulously crafted dishes is another significant attraction. In the elegant flow of time, there is no doubt that you can completely savor the essence of Edo.
