About Sushi Murase
Sushi Murase is a strong Tokyo pick for a focused dine-in sushi dinner, especially if the appeal is a controlled counter-style meal in Nishiazabu rather than takeout or a loose group night. Its Tabelog 100 #18 placement in 2025 and OAD Japan recommendation in 2026 give it credible weight in a crowded category.
Sushi Murase is a Tokyo venue with verified evening hours and external recognition. The confirmed schedule is Tuesday through Sunday from 6 to 11 PM, with Monday closed. It is best considered for a planned dinner visit rather than a daytime meal, since no lunch hours are verified.
The confirmed recognition includes Tabelog 100 #18 (2025) with 3.8 points and an Opinionated About Dining Top Restaurants in Japan Recommended listing for 2026. Those are useful signals for travelers comparing Tokyo dining plans, but details such as menu format, seating layout, specific dishes, pricing, or service style should be confirmed directly before relying on them.
Choose it for a planned Tokyo dinner

The practical verdict: choose Sushi Murase when its dinner hours and recognition fit the plan, and confirm any operational or menu details before relying on them.

How it compares in Tokyo
Choose Sushi Murase over Yakiniku Korean Cold Noodles Yuchan. when the night calls for a tighter sushi-led dinner rather than a more casual meat-and-noodle format. Yuchan has clearer value signaling, with listed ranges of JPY 8,000 - JPY 9,999 and JPY 2,000 - JPY 2,999, so it is the safer pick when budget control matters more than a recognized sushi counter.
Against Tsugumi, which lists JPY 15,000 - JPY 19,999, Sushi Murase is the better choice if awards recognition and a Nishiazabu dinner plan are the draw. Tsugumi is easier to frame for diners who want a known price band before committing. Sushi Murase asks for more trust in the format, but the Tabelog 100 and OAD signals make that trust more defensible.
Atelier Morimoto XEX, XEX Omae, and Odajima are the better cross-shops if the group needs a broader restaurant feel or a less sushi-specific evening. Book Sushi Murase when the meal itself is the plan; choose one of those peers when the room, flexibility, or group dynamic matters as much as the food.
