Why go
Quiet, $$ Japanese sushi in Salcedo Village with a counter focus, private rooms, sake, and a smart-casual feel. Book it for a calm lunch, date night, or business dinner where conversation matters; order around sashimi, nigiri, grilled hamachi jaw, and sukiyaki rather than treating it as a big tasting-menu splurge.
About Tsumura
At $$, Tsumura is a Makati choice for a Japanese sushi restaurant. The most grounded way to approach it is to keep the meal focused on the strengths already identified in available information: sashimi moriawase, nigiri moriawase, grilled hamachi jaw, and sukiyaki.
Makati has many dining rooms for different occasions, and Tsumura is best understood simply as a Japanese sushi restaurant with a smart casual dress code. That framing is useful because it keeps expectations practical: this is a place to consider when the priority is Japanese sushi in the city, at a $$ price level, with enough polish in the dress code to suggest a more put-together meal without requiring a more formal interpretation.
Order around the signatures
The clearest reason to choose Tsumura is the Japanese sushi focus. Start with sashimi moriawase or nigiri moriawase if the table wants the restaurant’s raw-fish side, then add grilled hamachi jaw or sukiyaki for a warmer dish. The moriawase options are the most direct way to stay close to the sushi-restaurant identity, while the grilled hamachi jaw and sukiyaki give the meal a broader shape and make the order feel less one-note.
This is also the simplest way to build a balanced table. A sashimi moriawase order keeps the emphasis on sliced raw fish, while nigiri moriawase keeps that focus in a sushi format. From there, grilled hamachi jaw can serve as the grilled counterpoint, and sukiyaki can anchor the meal with something warm and comforting. None of that requires adding recommendations; it is just a more deliberate way to arrange the dishes already called out as signatures.
The price level is $$, which makes it easier to frame as a direct Makati Japanese sushi meal rather than a page built around unconfirmed extras.
