Sushi Takamitsu

Should You Book Sushi Takamitsu?

Yes — if you are planning a serious omakase dinner in Tokyo, Sushi Takamitsu deserves a place on your shortlist. Getting a reservation is easier than at some of the city's most-discussed counters, but that accessibility does not signal a compromise on quality. Ten consecutive Tabelog Silver Awards (2017 through 2026), three selections for the Tabelog Sushi Tokyo Top 100, and a Tabelog score of 4.49 make a clear case: this is a counter that has sustained its performance across nearly a decade, not a venue coasting on early buzz. If you are visiting Tokyo for the first time and want a benchmark omakase experience — credentialed, consistent, and in a neighbourhood that rewards an evening out , book here.

What to Expect

Sushi Takamitsu sits in Aobadai, Meguro, about ten minutes on foot from Nakameguro Station (487 metres on the Tokyu Toyoko or Hibiya Line). The room holds ten seats, open counter format, with no private rooms available for standard reservations. The atmosphere at a counter this size is quiet and focused , the energy is the work itself, not background noise or a lively dining room. For a first-timer, that intimacy is worth understanding before you arrive: this is not a venue where conversation flows across a large table. It rewards attention.

The venue is non-smoking inside, with an ashtray available outside. No parking is available, so plan on public transport or walking from Nakameguro. Credit cards are accepted (JCB and AMEX), but electronic money and QR code payments are not. Reservations are accepted until 17:00 on the day, and the restaurant opens at 18:00 Monday through Saturday, closing at midnight. Sundays are closed, with Monday closures when a public holiday falls on Sunday.

Pricing and Value

Budget JPY 50,000 to JPY 59,999 per person for dinner, with some reviewer-reported spending in the JPY 40,000 to JPY 49,999 range. At this price point, Sushi Takamitsu is positioned firmly in the upper tier of Tokyo omakase , comparable to other Tabelog Silver-level counters rather than the leading Gold or Bronze brackets. Ranked 85th in Japan overall on Opinionated About Dining in 2025 (up from 83rd in 2024 and 73rd in 2023), the trajectory is consistently strong. That ranking improvement over three years tells you more than a single score: sourcing and execution have held up under scrutiny, not just at launch. The venue's Tabelog profile notes a particular focus on fish quality, which at this price tier is where the money should be going , and the awards record suggests it is.

BYO drinks are permitted, which is worth factoring into your overall spend. The venue serves sake, shochu, and wine, so you are not restricted if you prefer to drink in-house.

Booking

Booking difficulty at Sushi Takamitsu is rated Easy relative to Tokyo's most competitive counters. A ten-seat counter with six operating nights per week and a relatively navigable reservation system means this is one of the more accessible high-credential omakase experiences in the city. That said, same-day requests are still subject to a 17:00 cutoff, and a room this small fills on popular evenings. Book ahead when you have your dates confirmed rather than treating it as a last-minute fallback. Phone reservations are available at +81-3-3712-6999. The venue does not have an official website.

Private use of the full space is available for groups of up to 20 people, which requires a separate arrangement. Standard reservations are counter seats only.
