About this place
Whether you fancy sushi on your own or a dinner of small plates and fried dishes to share, Nishimaru in Nakakagaya, Suminoe Ward, offers different ways to enjoy a meal. It is a sushi restaurant with a selection of dishes more commonly associated with an izakaya.
One diner sat at the counter alone and ordered tuna, prawn, sea bream and octopus, then added more sushi and enjoyed dishes beyond sushi, too. The menu includes nigiri with tuna, salmon and yellowtail, as well as tuna rolls and squid with cucumber. You can choose individual pieces that catch your eye or order nigiri or premium nigiri. There is also the option to add fried dishes and small plates rather than making the meal all about sushi. Choices include fried burdock root, agedashi tofu and fried chicken wings, along with fried chikuwa stuffed with cheese. The selection works for sharing several dishes or adding one plate to a sushi-centred meal.
Drinks listed include draft beer, sake and highballs, as well as non-alcoholic options. The restaurant suits both solo dinners and groups, and reservations are accepted. From Tuesday to Friday, it opens from 16:30; Saturday and Sunday have the same opening time.
