About this place
For a satisfying midday meal, the portion-and-a-half nigiri sushi is a reliable choice. At Toyozushi in Misuji, Taito Ward, the lunchtime menu features nigiri and chirashi bowls, with nigiri available in both standard single portions and a generous portion and a half. Served with a bowl of soup, the nigiri comes with slightly larger pillows of sushi rice, making it an unpretentious and filling option.
Alongside nigiri, the lunch menu includes chirashi bowls with the option of an extra-large serving, paired with a simple bowl of miso soup for an everyday meal. Counter seating makes it easy to drop in solo, and the shop is open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays as well.
Come evening, the menu shifts to a wide variety of drinking snacks, anchored by a 5-piece sashimi assortment, alongside plain grilled anago (saltwater eel), seared tairagai (pen shell), and aji namero (finely minced horse mackerel tartare). Guests can unwind in the quiet dining room over large bottles of Sapporo Lager, draft beer, barley shochu, or highballs. Reservations are accepted for dinner, making it worth securing a seat in advance.
