Dining at Sushi Tomidokoro under the masterful guidance of Chef Koji Sato is an experience that affirms some of the most exquisite culinary gems are found in the most unassuming locations. Nestled in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, this restaurant, devoid of a flashy signboard, is a testament to the idea that true quality and craftsmanship stand out on their own.

Dining at Sushi Tomidokoro under the masterful guidance of Chef Koji Sato is an experience that affirms some of the most exquisite culinary gems are found in the most unassuming locations. Nestled in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, this restaurant, devoid of a flashy signboard, is a testament to the idea that true quality and craftsmanship stand out on their own.

The evening began with a selection of Otsumami, each dish a showcase of Chef Sato's innovative approach and meticulous attention to detail. The Hirame (平目) and Torigai (鳥貝), praised for their superb texture and exquisite taste, set a high bar. The Mejimaguro (メジマグロ), perfectly seasoned and served with a hint of Dijon mustard, was a brilliant fusion of traditional Japanese techniques with a touch of Western flair. The grilled scallop, with its slight spiciness atop, nestled in Nori, and the sea cucumber, dehydrated through a simple shake and served in a spicy ponzu sauce, were both revelations in texture and flavor.

The Nigiri course, comprising 15 servings, was a culinary symphony. The Shari, seasoned with Akazu vinegar, provided a powerful yet balanced foundation for the neta. The proportion between the neta and Shari in each serving was impeccable, ensuring that each bite delivered the perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Every topping was seasoned to perfection, further cementing Chef Sato's reputation.

Sushi Tomidokoro's commitment to quality, from the ancient varieties of Hokkaido rice to the meticulously sourced fish, was evident throughout the meal. The intimate and casual setting of the restaurant, coupled with Chef Sato's culinary artistry, provided an unparalleled dining experience that was both authentic and innovative.

This meal served as a vivid reminder that the most exceptional dining experiences often come from places that may not have international fame but are cherished for their dedication to the craft of sushi making. Chef Koji Sato's work is a testament to the richness of the culinary landscape, where traditional techniques meet innovative visions to create truly exceptional dining experiences. Less

Tomidokoro 冨所 2nd visit — really love this place for its consistent quality and good value. 6 seater counter only, the chef is very chill. Wide variety of otsumami (you can keep ordering if you feel like more). Akazu shari is quite strong on the nose but mellow on the palate. Great place for casual but good quality sushi. •

Sushi Tomidokoro 冨所 1st visit — a small cozy shop in a quiet back alley in Shinbashi area, casual atmosphere, chef trained at Sushi Shin (鮨真). Classic and skillful craft, a natural and pleasant flow from the first otsumami to the last nigiri. Akazu shari was powerful and dense, well balanced with the neta. Very reasonably priced and definitely above expectation. •
