Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan
Serious omakase, easier to book than rivals.
A ten-seat omakase counter in Meguro with ten consecutive Tabelog Silver Awards (2017 to 2026), a score of 4.49, and a strong focus on fish sourcing. Budget JPY 50,000 to JPY 59,999 per person for dinner. One of Tokyo's more accessible high-credential sushi counters, ranked 85th in Japan on Opinionated About Dining in 2025.
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.
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.
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 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.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
The venue is described as fish-focused, and the omakase format gives the kitchen limited flexibility to accommodate restrictions. Nothing in the available data confirms specific allergy or dietary accommodation policies. If restrictions are a concern, check the venue's official channels at +81-3-3712-6999 before booking — raising this at the counter is too late.
The standard counter seats 10, and private hire is available for groups of up to 20 people. There are no private rooms within the restaurant, so full buyout is the route for larger parties. check the venue's official channels at +81-3-3712-6999 to arrange private use.
Yes. A 10-seat counter is the natural format for solo diners, and Tabelog reviewers recommend it particularly for outings with friends. Solo guests get full counter engagement with the chef and an unhurried pace given the late closing time.
Dinner only — Sushi Takamitsu does not offer lunch service. Hours are 18:00 to midnight, Monday through Saturday. Plan your Tokyo itinerary accordingly and book dinner well in advance.
The menu is omakase, so the kitchen decides — there is nothing to order. Tabelog reviewers have specifically flagged the uni nigiri as a standout reason to visit, and the venue's own Tabelog profile highlights it as a draw for uni enthusiasts. The drink list covers sake, shochu, and wine, and BYO is permitted if you want to bring something specific.
Budget JPY 50,000 to JPY 59,999 per person for dinner — this is an omakase-only counter with 10 seats, so the format is set. Reservations close at 17:00 on the day, and the restaurant is closed Sundays. It is about a 10-minute walk from Nakameguro Station. A Tabelog Silver winner every year from 2017 to 2026 and a 4.49 Tabelog score, it has a long track record of consistency at this price tier. Come with an appetite and no firm post-dinner schedule: last orders run until midnight.
